    Funeral for a trusty friend (& spec me a small form factor multi-purpose PC)

    Good point... I must have got the motherboard from somewhere else. It was a Asus M4A785TD-V Evo which had onboard graphics and I added a GPU later. Thanks for the suggestions!

    Funeral for a trusty friend (& spec me a small form factor multi-purpose PC)

    On the 12th Jan 2010 I spent £550 on my first self-build PC at OCUK. With much help from this forum, I successfully unlocked the two disabled cores on the AMD Phenom II X2, with HOURS of tweaking got it clocked up to 3.7 and never looked back. Since then I've upgraded the SSD / HDDs several...

    Cheers! Looks like Tado have an expansion for smart radiator valves. I'll do a bit more investigation into that.

    Spec me a smart thermostat

    Just moved into a new flat. The old one had a crappy electricity only heating system so I never bothered with anything 'smart'. To celebrate having a proper boiler for the first time I reckon I'll get a nest or something. Flat has: Gas boiler (has had a nest installed by previous owners but...

    LG G4 causing dreaded 'card clash'?

    Yeah might have to do that. Downside is that it needs battery to work... Thanks

    LG G4 causing dreaded 'card clash'?

    Hi All, Looking for some suggestions to solve a mystery... I've always kept my oyster card on the back of my phone in a rubber stick-on card slot. I find it really convenient to just pull out my phone, tap and go through the gate. I just got an LG G4 with the curved back and am not so...

    Spec me a cheap card

    Sorry for the stupid question but do I need to be careful about which size of card I buy? Will all fit in a full size case?

    Spec me a cheap card

    Hi, I'm having some issues with the IGP on my motherboard (ATI Radeon™ HD 4200). I think it might be because there are no drivers available for Win 8.1 and also that it's struggling slightly with my 2560x1440 monitor. So looking for a cheap card that I can use instead of the IGP. I do no...

    Spec me a wireless speaker for streaming

    Just had a reply from AirFoil support. It seems that on Android you need to manually sync up the sound. So using my phone as the speaker wasn't a great test of its abilities. I'm going to try my laptop as speakers tonight. If that works then I can fall back on the idea of an AirPlay speaker...

    Spec me a wireless speaker for streaming

    Thanks for the suggestion. Just a Play:1 would certainly be cheaper. But don't I need a Sonos input into the hi-fi in my living room to get the sound synced up?

    Spec me a wireless speaker for streaming

    Thanks for the suggestion NickNack but I don't think Bluetooth is the right option for me. Firstly the distance is too great. Secondly I don't think bluetooth would support audio synchronisation with the output from my PC's soundcard. They look very nice though. Maryt - squeezebox. I'd not...

    Spec me a wireless speaker for streaming

    No thoughts from anyone? I tried out Airfoil last night. I don't have any AirPlay devices yet so I was using my phone with AirBubble app installed. Music was hopelessly out of sync so I think it's a no go. Sonos are unbelievably expensive for a system set up like the one I'm considering... Not...

    Spec me a wireless speaker for streaming

    Moved from Sound section Hi Guys, Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. I'm looking for a wireless speaker for my bedroom that will stream music from my desktop PC in the living room. Current setup: - 1 bed flat (essentially 2 fair sized rooms - bedroom and living...
