    Coolermaster H500M not available or Corsair 5000x glass version help please

    Please can you help with advice before I order a new PC. I was really impressed with the looks and large cooling fans of the Coolermaster 500M case but no system builders seem to sell it anymore (Overclockers have it on order but unlikely to get one as it seems to be end of life?). Is that...

    Living room bluray to install cdroms on PC?

    Thanks. I notice the only cases that have dvd or blueray slots are not very attractive so will have to go for an external drive. Will look for a good air flow case as dont fancy the risks of water cooled. Thanks again for your help.

    Living room bluray to install cdroms on PC?

    Sadly I notice most new PCs and new towers dont have cdrom drives or space for a 5.25 drive now. To get round this can I connect a normal full size bluray player (from my living room tv setup) to install cdrom on a PC? Or is it better to buy an external portable bluray drive? Do they install the...

    Hi, I have just had my second pair of Plantronics Gamecom headsets break with the same problem - the cable keeps twisting until I presume the wire inside snaps and the mic stops working.

    Thanks Guys :) I was hoping to have the Overclocking done for me - I had a polite reply in The Customer Service section (OC staff must work late as I hadn't expected to hear anything until after the Hols). They said that the main problem was a poor exchange rate with USA/Dollar. So that...

    ANTEC 900 Cooling Up to the job?

    Hi, Please could anyone advise - do you think the Antec 900 Gaming Case is good enough on its own to cool an i7 920 Overclock bundle with a Geforce 280 Card? I'm not keen on watercooling and I tend to keep the Antec fans on Medium Setting so it isn't too noisy. The case has 4 big fans so I hope...
