Resell value isn't a problem. My current monitor is a BenQ XL2411, in general I'm pretty happy with it although I also don't have any problems with paying for a super snazzy one. The likelihood is that I will keep the computer for quite a few years and not upgrade it much, but of course I can't...

ooh I didn't think about a snazzy screen, not bad. This is mainly to keep me entertained over the self-isolation period so I'm not averse to spending £££ right now instead of waiting until later. Thanks for the basket though, v helpful!

Hi all, It's been nearly 15 nears since I last built a pc (all parts from this very site), but since we're going into lockdown, I thought I'd treat myself to a new gaming computer. I just have no idea what's good anymore. Can people recommend some stuff around the 2.5-3k range so that I can...

Argh, why is this happening to me! Anyway, heres the story. I was happily playing Medieval 2, when the computer froze. I restarted the pc, and it wouldn't post. So I reset the CMOS, and then it booted. Gave a CMOS checksum error, I went into the BIOS and put in the correct settings. Then I...

I don't know where to start looking for a speaker system, I'm looking for a 5.1 surround sound rig for my pc. The room that the pc is in is very enclosed (book-lined study) so I need something that will work well in this small space - I would like quality of sound, but it doesn't need the...

Awesome, thanks a lot.

Is there any way of saving the BBC radio streams? I'm wondering because there was one really funny program during the last week that I would like to be able to keep...

Nitpick - other way around. It ISN'T a rhetorical question if that is an answer.

I've got an interview at Cambridge on Wednesday! I'm damn nervous...

Read SomethingAwful, go sailing.

I don't want to be nitpicky but... There's no 'Year in Industry' for Oxbridge Maths courses, and they don't have final year projects either. The Cambridge course is just a straight 3 year course with exams at the end of each year, with the final exam counting as the degree result. I don't know...

Look at the audience while you're talking to them. Theres nothing worse than a speaker who doesn't even attempt to look at the people he is lecturing. Other than that, just be confident. Don't be monotonous, don't speak too fast - you ARE allowed to take small pauses, believe it or not!

I want to learn to program, with a specific purpose in mind. I've entered into a code-cracking competition where the codes get harder each week, and although it's perfectly possible at the start to work out the codes manually it gets to the point where you will need a computer to do it for you...

yep, I've donated. It's easy, painless, and you feel good about yourself afterwards. And I got really drunk really quickly that night!

I'm doing it, it's not too bad at all. The only thing that annoys me about it is that my mechanics teacher teachers the most boring lessons ever, and that it means that I only get one free a week. Apart from that it's all good though.

Where did I mention disabled people? As for anti-black legislation in the USA, I believe that we are in England where this didn't happen. If I called someone a ******, I wouldn't be thinking back to the past.

Yeah, cause when I call someone a "****ing jew" I'm obviously referring to the holocaust? And when I call someone a "dirty ****" or a "******" then I'm insinuating that they're slaves? In my opinion, those citing slavery, etc when dealing with racism are making pretty tenuous links. Taking...

And you should HAVE learnt correct English!

Just ahead at the top of the FPL, not sure if that will last though... Last week seemed to be a bit of a disaster for everyone, only one person in our league got above 60 points! I'm hoping I keep getting lucky, cause theres not much knowledge in my team picking!

Ah I was thinking of the FPL.
