    Paint recommendations

    I highly recommend Leyland trade white for the ceilings and Laura Ashley for the walls. The trick i've found to getting a great finish for the ceiling is to water the paint down slightly. I'll add maybe 1-2 pints of water to a 10L tub. It'll take 2 coats minimum, 4 coats on freshly plastered.

    Something like http://www.murgee.com/auto-mouse-mover/ would do the job. Understand that your company has enabled this to protect you and themselves should you leave your laptop unattended. By using an application like this you are circumventing company policies and this may be grounds for...

    Stains inside GPU blocks?

    What pumps are you using as running in parallel requires a higher pressure loop. I wonder if there wasn't enough pressure to clean the blocks when you flushed it so thats just the original Mayhems X1 black fluid left behind

    Stains inside GPU blocks?

    Agreed with String, whats going on with the connections between each card? You need to cap off the connections marked with an X. This will force the water through each card as it was intended. I imagine the only card getting semi-decent temps would be the bottom one in your current...

    LG 55EC930 (LG 55 OLED CURVO FULL HD 3D SMART)

    Think its due to come out at around £5.5 - £6k mark. Going by how quick the 55EC930 came down in price I would hope the 65EC970 will do the same. Would definitely take the plunge at £3k! I'd pay more for a non curved version, I don't get want the benefit is at all :rolleyes:

    My dad bought one of these over the weekend. Its due to arrive tomorrow and he wants me to go over and calibrate it so whilst im there i'll take a few photos. He must have some confidence in the OLED tech as he's finally putting his aging Kuro to pasture! Looking forward to the 65" 4k version...

The box was already torn open, sli bridge is missing, black screws and blue covers for covering the ports and pci interface were rolling around in the bag with the card. This isn't eBay ocuk, why are you sending out B-Grade stock...

    Mixing 2 audio sources to 1 output

    Hi all I want to get the audio from my PC and PS4 through my headphones at the same time. I understand it’s not wise to just run a Y splitter to directly join the two sources together as it can damage the hardware. Could anyone recommend a mixer or a piece of kit that will let me achieve...

    Emulsion pain...brand suggestions?

    Just painted my place with Laura Ashley water based emulsion paints and its leaving a brilliant finish, highly recommended. They had a 25-30% off sale not so long ago and I managed to get enough tins to do the hole house! When it comes to skirting and architrave though I don't touch anything...

Few tips that you probably already know that i've picked up over the days: Prep the walls as best you can, e.g. remove all paper and any paste residue if paper has been previously hung and remove any raw plugs! Keep...

    Lounge layout advice

    Not our first house, we've both sold ours to move into this one. There are some suites out there that would dwarf a room this size so I can see it being a challenge to find the right one. Walls are external so dont need to worry about any noise carrying to neighbours. Ideally want the TV in the...
