    Custom Build or NUC

    Thanks, I agree, I can see why they're so popular. I was wondering if people had started using Mini STX builds (as it's relatively new) as alternative to NUC as for the same price you can get a G4600 CPU vs 7100u.

    Custom Build or NUC

    I'm considering either building a Mini-STX or Mini-ITX (Thin) or purchasing an Intel NUC for classic / retro gaming (either old PC games or PS2 / Gamecube level emulation) and web use. It appears that I'd get better value for money with a custom build (however I'll happily be corrected). I'd...

    Excel COUNTIFS help

    You could use an array formula instead. For example enter this formula and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter: =SUM((LEFT(A1:A9,4)="test")*(C1:C9="XYZ")) Change the range references and criteria as needed.

    Over boarding over boarded ceiling

    How long does the asbestos test typically take to get a result? If you could confirm that the original artex contains no asbestos then I would take both boards down.

    Home extention

    I recently moved into a house with a similar setup to the house above, however, our covenants clearly stated that the garage could not be built upon without the original land owners permission. Whilst posters above have outlined that this may be irrelevant to the planning application process, I...

    What is Fleet, Hampshire like?

    Fleet is a great place to live. I personally wouldn't worry about the shops closing now, it now just has the "essentials" with restaurants opening in their place. I think people tend to shop in Camberley, Guildford etc resulting in some shops closing.

    Perhaps not the mat for everyone as it has groves but I use 2 x stable matting for my home gym. Worked out cheaper at the time. http://www.countrywidefarmers.co.uk/pws/ProductDetails.ice?ProductID=9554

    PSU noise and recommendations

    So I have disabled all options posted in Greybeards link, removed the graphics card and the noise was still the same. I stopped the PSU fan, the noise stopped. So now I know it's the PSU fan, what options do I have? Can I RMA the PSU, return it and buy a different model? Or do I have to accept...

    PSU noise and recommendations

    I had wondered the same but I've turned my graphics card fan down and still hear it. Because of my case the psu fan is at the top (Temjin TJ08-e). EDIT: I will remove the graphics card soon and test.
