Out of curiosity Dave what does Chemical Engineering entail? Sounds interesting?

I think the best way of summing up Chemical Engineering is taking a product produced in a test-tube in a lab, and then scaling up the process to produce thousands or millions tonnes of the product per year. It's really all about scaling up processes, which is pretty tricky as it turns out!

It's a very diverse degree though, for example my Engineering research is in solid-state physics and the properties of crystals - exploiting the effects of impurities on crystals to engineer crystals of better shape in big bulk solutions. I also do a little research into the engineering of mammalian cells to be used in the large-scale production of insulin, so you really cover all the sciences. It's also good that Chemical Engineers tend to be paid quite a fair bit of money upon graduation, given the student loans debt I'm going to be saddled with! :p

(incidentally, just saw your project - that case is gorgeous!)

Yeah I'm quickly building up a "SLC Debt" lol. Sounds interesting though, good luck with it all :) When all the announcements are over the "OCUK review gang" will have to exchange emails/Xbox Live Gamer tags/PSN Names etc. Get to know each other :cool:.

Damn you either have a poor loop, CPU or motherboard. Should be pulling 4GHz+ on that thing easy.

My loop is fine I just have to overclock my ram with this new mobo i got and I dont wanna test it too lazy so 3ghz is the highest I can go right now without overclocking ram. I had it at 3.8ghz on air on my old board :p

Q6600 is a ridiculously good processor considering how long ago it was released. Still lets you hit 60fps+ on every game. :eek:

:D I hope so, I know its better than my dual but i wanted to see a significant increase in performance really :D

Haha definitely! Although will have to be email, the only console we have in our house is a Nintendo 64 for Goldeneye, Diddy Kong, Zelda and the classics :D Really well done on the review, look forward to reading it!

Final two should be out very soon, cross your fingers!
