£1000 is plenty of a decent budget experience, especially as like you say you have decent control over the environment. Basically you will have to decide which compromise you want to make, if you go for a DLP option you will likely get better contrast and black levels but may be limited by...

I recently upgraded my aging 1080p Epson 3200 to a 9400 and I've been really impressed, definate step up and I would say if you can stretch it is well worth it. I considered the 7000/7100 and I wasn't very impressed with the black levels, I had to discount the 7400 due to it being older, and not...

As above, Xenon was never an option on the mk3.5. Also just a word of warning that a bulb change on the mk3 MX5 is a right pain as you have to go in via the wheel arches :( In terms of whiter bulbs I've found the Philips Whitevision bulbs can make halogens in projectors look 'almost' Xenons -...

I'd personally try and go for the Diamond 220s over the 9.1s, they are a decent step up in terms of bass and overal performance. That said for budget end Wharefdale deff are still one of the best options. Might be worth having a look on eBay as I got a pair of 220s sub £50 due to a pretty ropey...

I had wondered where 'Twirrim' had come from as you approached in my rear view mirror extremely fast LOL! Shame you can't run like that all the time as that was a pretty significant boost :)

Just need a power station attached to your house :D

Deff +1 for 'delete'. I've recently deleted a hedge in my garden. The other word I really hate used is 'Stunning' ... really ... is a random mid spec Golf really 'Stunning'?

Quick update on this, I will write this up with some more details at some point! After finding someone who had quite a few of these cards spare I have now got 5 of them haha. My Plex server has a load of 4x pcie slots so planning to run them through the 1x pcie risers remotely as it doesn't...

Yeah I've noticed this also, to start with I thought it was due to the shortage of WUs but my systems seem to be rarley not busy but I seem to be varying anywhere from 1.6m PPD upto like 2.4m!

No this is a 3GB card (the GPUZ screenshot further up has all the exact details). I think that is why the cost of these sorts of cards has fallen through the floor, they aren't useful for mining anymore but for folding/boinc they seem pretty good! It's been running for a few days Folding now and...

Yeah I believe they are based around the 1060, and yes no video outputs, or SLI connector! I'll have a look as to how easy it is to remove the cooler to get a proper photo of the board at some point. Possibly next month I may buy another couple of these as they are quite fun to fiddle with...

Quick update, the card arrived (surprisingly quickly for China!) and then ended up lightly 'modifying' an old test machine I had lying around (didn't really fancy putting an unknown graphics card into a machine worth more than 45 pence haha). After some faffing with drivers and a quite a bit of...

Yeah I do agree, this was through eBay so I likely have some comeback if it's junk, that said for the sake of £30 I'm not hugely fussed ... If it was a high end card then very different story! Got my 2070 Super from OcUK infact haha

Although I agree peoples thoughts on the Cup 2s, I have now run them on my track MX5 for several years and actually found their wet grip surprising. Don't get me wrong they aren't as good as a UHP road tyre but they certainly aren't as scary as some people may have you think (I expect a large...

Results to follow! I had been reading some mixed opinions about using ex-mining cards for Folding, but given it seems for a large part (at the lower end anyway) mining is dropping away, these lower end mining cards are worth very little so I thought it would be an interesting thing to try out...

What you say is correct, however HDHomerun doesn't supply an Apple TV app, also if you want a DVR you need to use some sort of third party solution. This is where Plex Pass allows you to use Plex's DVR and playback live TV through Apple TV (via transcoding). Also I spend quite a bit of time in...

One and only entry, makes me feel a teenie bit more like Harvey Spector haha The Constellations - Perfect Day

Figured while creating my signature (given my old one was wildly out of date :eek: ) I'd steal the OcUK colours to match. If anyones interested the hex is below for future reference ... c1=FFFFFF&c2=1c5780&c3=003366&c4=000000&c5=FFFFFF So for example -...

I bought a Xiaomi Mi Box a while back and although generally good I had a few issues. Getting different audio tracks to pass through was a bit of a fiddle - effectively it just doesn't deal with HD codecs and also getting it to switch framerates to sync to my projector wasn't ever very reliable...

I couldn't live without Plex Pass as I now use a HDHomeRun and Plex to do live TV throughout my house - the only exclusion is I have a freesat box for getting RTE for free Formula1. One quirk I found which is a little annoying is PlexPass allows the primary account to to mobile offline sync...
