I forgot all about this thread; independently though I ordered the OWC Mercury Pro. Annoyingly I didn't check the compatible lengths as my optical drive is too long to fit properly; but it works regardless, a little bit more than I was wanting to spend though.

Again, it's been a while since I've needed to rip a CD, but back in the day Exact Audio Copy (EAC) was the best option. There's is a bit of setup required though, this link includes a number of guides which should get you going.

I've got a 5.25" optical drive that I use quite regularly to rip DVDs and BluRays, but I've just switched to a Mini ITX case without a slot. So I'm in need of an external caddy; there's plenty of Chinese products, or adapaters with questionable claims regarding powering a 5.25" optical drive...

I've decided to downscale to a Mini ITX build within a Fractal Node 304, but my current GPU (XFX R9 Fury Triple Dissipation' won't fit. I'm not really wanting to spend too much; so, can anyone recommend a card (probably on the used market) for up to £250. I'm happy with my current performance...

'Horridge' is me :D Been folding on my work laptop over night; and my home desktop occasionally, whilst idle.

Mine's reportedly out for delivery as we speak!

Any stock updates?

Is there a practical use for a secondary SSD? I've just bought a bigger SSD so wondering what to do with the one to be replaced? I assume there's no advantage to installing Steam games on to it, or other software if it can all fit on the primary? I've got a 4TB HDD for all my media also.

I've currently got two 560Ti's in SLI, but thinking it's time to upgrade to a single card. But only really have £300 to spend. Can anyone recommend a single card? My motherboard is a MSI Z97-GD65 if that's needed? Currently looking a 970 seems to be within that price range, but is there a better...

I'm wanting to buy show tickets via a website that doesn't allow you to choose your own seating, but hands them out one seat at a time, one row at a time. I have worked out that when you open the site it must save a cookie that reserves a particular seat for a short time. So by opening...

Can anyone recommend the cheapest option to be able to plug in a USB stick and output via HDMI to a TV? My parents have an ancient DVD player with no USB input, and a Panasonic TV which only plays natively recorded files via it's USB slot. I don't need anything other than to be able to play...

I want to use it with Zen's Unlimited Fibre 2, who do allow you to order without using them for line rental (for a small charge). But the question is whether it will effect the quality of my connection at all, what are you actually paying for?

I feel like this is a silly question, but I have to ask to be sure. Does it matter who I pay my line rental money too? We're just about to move house and we really don't need a house phone these days, so I want to pay as little as possible. At the moment the cheapest is Primus £5.99 for line...

I've almost filled my lowly 1TB media HDD, so am in need of a replacement. I'm thinking 2TB would be enough for my needs at the moment. I used it purely for storing my media collection, mainly video. More often than not, I'm sharing said content (all legal and above board of course) via the...

Yes my initial research suggests the N66U is the modern marvel. The AP needs a wired connection also, is there a recommended one for that?

Current Setup: Plusnet FTTC (Pretty much max speed) BT's modem attached to the master socket. TG582n linked to the modem and to an ethernet wall socket, which then connects to another TG582n as a secondary wireless access point and desktop computer wired directly. We have a lot of devices...

Got one, thanks Paradox and OcUK

Prolimatech Red, I CHOOSE YOU!

Slight reduction in performance (if I'll even notice) is fine for me temporarily, as long as it is backwards compatible then I'm happy.

Posted another thread asking for SSD recommendations, and as a result I've order the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB. But only just thought about it, that my motherboard is a bit outdated (EX58-UD5 Rev 1.0) and that it looks like the SSD is not SATA II compatible? Am I gonna have to buy a new motherboard...
