Thanks for all the suggestions folks. @Lonewolf The competitor rules have got me in the past as well, no biggy and go away from this thread knowing your contribution is appreciated :) This seemed to be the perfect place to talk about dead competitors and I was right :)

Here we go. It wasn't a list for Microdirect but for Klone Computers (also long gone), another one I had forgotten all about. Anyways, here it is: https://imgur.com/a/t1EdOXV [/IMG] I hope that works

Just checked. Microdirect website no longer exists at all, if I go up in the loft later I'll get that price list out and post it :)

Morgan Computers! That's the one, thank you so much :)

It wasn't this one but I do remember it. I've still got an old price list on A4 paper that they used to give out. If I remember correctly, wasn't it in an old bank?

Hello, This shouldn't go against competition rules as this shop is long gone. Years ago, mid 1990's, there was a computer shop just down the road from Manchester Piccadilly train station. It's where I picked up four x 1MB memory chips for my Amiga GVP hard drive. My dad also got his first PC...

Ahhh, I thought I did read it all. I can't be held responsible for my old man eyes missing things :)

Another thing to try is that (I hope I'm remembering the entry right here) CSM option in BIOS. I've had some blank screen problems when this disabled/enabled. If it is currently on then disable and see if it makes a difference. If disabled then enable. My experience with the motherboard and...

I wouldn't count on it. Before Greebo's lovely and much appreciated list, I was aware of two montitors: The Asus ROG Swift PG32UQX and the Philips 329m1rv, neither support HDMI 2.1 from what I've read. I thought DisplayPort 1.4 would be fine for 4K 144hz? A cable I bought recently (Club 3D...

Please could anyone out there with a 2000 series NVidia card with driver 436.02 and 4k screen run a benchmark for me? Up until now, using my NVidia 970, the only way I've been able to use integer scaling in games is using Linux (using the official NNidia settings command). This has its...

For those in the future that might find this thread in a search. The Asus Prime B450-Plus will boot up using a Ryzen without needing a gfx card installed - the only difference is it'll do a few extra beeps during POST.

Hello folks, I'm wanting a Ryzen 1700/1700x/2700/2700x based system combined ideally with the B450 chipset. I also want to have it running without having to use a gfx card. All admin on the machine will be done via SSH so gfx card not required at all, will just have a network cable and a...

I emailed them and got the following response: "Yes, this pricing is correct as we have a good supplier feed from Seagate on the Enterprise class drives." I'm getting a free LTO-6 based tape drive coming my way soonish so will need to buy a SAS controller regardless so tempted to go with the...

Anyone know why the enterprise drive ST12000NM0027 (around £370) is significantly cheaper than the desktop version ST12000DM0007 (around £420). I'm aware you'd have to buy a SAS interface to use the enterprise drive and may need better cooling but I thought the biggest disadvantage with...

That would be really depressing. Just had a look up and seems a lot of folks are saying how good this one looks in 1080p. Pixel doubling would be cool but I'd make do with a monitor that didn't look naff out of native :) Monitor you mention far from ideal for gaming as you say, but atleast...

It must have been so bad that you never bothered reporting back :)

:( That is a shame. Will continue waiting with fingers crossed. You never know, in last 18 months things have moved on so much in monitor land. Will have a read up on that Dell to see what it's doing though.

The only thing putting me off getting a 4K monitor is certain games I have where the UI wont scale at all. I've heard mention of TV's that will just put two pixels down for everyone single pixel, which bypasses the dithering/interpolation/blurring effect I've had on every monitor in the past...

No problems, it makes buying a new monitor so much easier if you just want 1:1 mapping for desktop and games running on desktop :) Anyone know if NVidia have an equivalent option?

My Dell U2410 had 1:1 pixel mapping aswell, this was a great monitor except the anti-glare was a bit thick. I see you are using an ATI card though, you know there's a way of getting 1:1 pixel mapping effect when you are booted into Windows using the Catalyst driver? I'm in Linux at the moment...
