    Garage Conversion (Office & Utility Room)

    I know what you mean! I'm 90% done on mine, working out there as I go. How did you tackle insulating around the door frame? My batten + insulation board + plasterboard is about 90mm all in which would stick out too far into the door way. I'm debating whether to buy some thinner insulated...

    Garage Conversion (Office & Utility Room)

    Looking brilliant! How have you been getting on recently? I’m doing similar, however by no means to the same extent. I’m taking small diy steps to get to a happy medium. Have plasterboarded the ceiling and insulated. Put some draught excluders around the garage door and insulated. ive also...

    Fabric chairs

    Funny thing is though, I was looking at secret labs but decided against it as, once I looked beyond the marketing and professional YouTube reviewers there were a fairly decent number of people out there that had no end of problems with the Secret labs chairs and swear blind that changing to a...

    Fabric chairs

    I just need to patiently wait for it to be dispatched now. Was hoping it would have been dispatched today as I’m stuck on a dining room chair, but hopefully it will be sent tomorrow then.

    Fabric chairs

    I was looking for something quite subtle. Or at least not a one with flashes of red/yellow, etc. But i'm surprised that the camo one actually took my fancy. Plus it was £40-£50 cheaper and in stock. Will definitely let you know how i get on with it.

    Fabric chairs

    I've been impulsive for once and bit the bullet on the S300 Camo via Overclockers - £219 seemed like a decent deal. Will let you know how i find it :)

    Fabric chairs

    Agreed. The pictures of the Pro make it look quite flimsy. The Pro XL looks bigger, and a fair bit wider than the S300, but I don't want to go too far in the other direction and have one that too big. I'm average height ~6ft and normal build, so i think the S300 is probably the best fit. On the...

    Fabric chairs

    I'm in the same boat as you. I think it'd prefer a fabric chair, was tempted by the likes of Secretlabs and Noblechair, but have seen more than enough iffy reviews of both to put doubt in my mind about drop ~£400 on one. I'm now torn between the GT Omega Pro XL, or the Nitro Concepts S300, both...

    Pic: Your desk...RIGHT NOW

    What's the little tablet looking thing under the middle monitor, too? Out of interest :)

    Pic: Your desk...RIGHT NOW

    Yeah I’ll probably resort to the same. Either that or just get one of those screen rising shelves to plonk on top of the desk I suppose.

    Pic: Your desk...RIGHT NOW

    Does anyone have a good recommendation for a monitor arm/mount that would attach to the Ikea worktops? Would be interested to know what monitor arms those of you using Ikea worktops as desks are using.

    Ryzen 5 2600 temps

    A bit of a thread revival here, but i'm seeing similar, if not worse. I've just received the 2600x with the Spire cooler, and i'm seeing ~26c 'idle' temps within Ryzen Master and HWMonitor, however these are when the clock speed is 2.2. As soon as it ramps up to 4.25 automatically the temps...

    Trying to Get Back into the Game

    Thanks EsaT that's very useful and comprehensive. I probably shouldn't moan at the OCZ PSU in that case. It sounds like it's served me well considering how long i've had it!

    Already put the order in. Fingers crossed they're compatible!

    You've sold me on the Corsair! Thanks. I'll bite the bullet and order. Thanks again for the help!

    Trying to Get Back into the Game

    Oh you've convinced me lol. I'm thinking this, a tweak here and there to make a couple of savings. But mostly based on your AMD suggestion. What do you think? My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 2600X 4.20GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £199.99 1 x Team Group Vulcan...

    Trying to Get Back into the Game

    Thank you! I'm leaning towards an AMD setup as it seems to be better value for money. I'm tempted to keep my GTX 670 to start with, to see how the system performs, and then maybe upgrade to the Powercolor RX 580 8GB Red Dragon 2 if it doesn't perform well. As the GTX 670 seems to be a decent...

    Trying to Get Back into the Game

    Thank you! I think i will go for one of the ones that you've suggested. Not sure whether to upgrade my graphics card too. Based on some googling and previous funny behaviour i think that they crux of my current CPU error light might actually be due to a dodgy PSU. Well, i've been getting...

    Trying to Get Back into the Game

    Thread revival as my computer has just given up. Powers on but no sign of life, just a red CPU light on the motherboard. However I’m very surprised by the fact that this was almost a year ago and most of the components listed have actually gone up in price at Overclockers. Crazy!

    Smart Security System - Which Ones?

    Thread revival! Did you ever have a go with Konnected. I keep wanting to bite the bullet. But not sure I’d be able to install it
