    New System Build - Rough 2k budget Mini ITX case

    Hi Lee, Thank you for your detailed response. I kind chose the original case, cooler and Ram, based on aesthetics more than anything else (i did check out a few reviews). God knows why Ive chosen to take a liking to RGB at the tender age of 42 :D Quick question based on the spec you have...

    New System Build - Rough 2k budget Mini ITX case

    Hi Guys, Hoping you guys can help me - Havent built a new PC in years and years and finally decided the time is right.

    Would this PSU still work with a new build today?

    Im planning to run it on a fairly decent setup - probably spend around 1200-1500.. I'll probably leave it to fate on the day :) Depending on how much budget I've got left as to say. Thanks again chaps

    Would this PSU still work with a new build today?

    Thanks for the replies guys. I guess what Im reading is that yes it would still work - but many of you wouldnt want to risk it using shiny new kit :) Been out of the build game for a while now - so current PSU's will be something I'll have to look into properly - Quality and noise being my...

    Would this PSU still work with a new build today?

    Hi guys, Planning to build a new PC in the near future - Ryzen based most likely a 3700x with a 2070 GFX or equivalent. I have this PSU from a build I built 10 years ago: 1 - Corsair HX 850W ATX Modular SLI Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-850HXUK) Would that still work? or am I better off...

    NAS + Plex Server

    I do agree Bluecube, I'm really confused :) Basically I need a NAS, and I need to be able to play media on my TV. Initially I was gonna buy a Synology and build a HTPC. Although when I was messing about with Plex that seemed sufficient. So then I thought I'd buy a DS214+play and use...

    NAS + Plex Server

    Guys, So would XPEnology only manage the NAS? Basically I would like my server to do the following; 1) SanZb 2) NAS 3) Plex 4) File Sharing 5) Not essential but would be a nice to have to plug directly into TV, and use as a media server So would XPEnology do all of the above, or...

    Motherboard for Media Centre PC

    Thanks Idleman, That's what I originally had planned, but it wont go down too well with the other half. I'll have a look around MM now, might even look at buying a mATX with a new chip and maybe selling the old gear, need to have a think :(
