Finally replaced my old Corsair fans. 9 fans meant 26 cables in total with a command pro, two rgb controllers and 2 cables per fan. Always annoyed me the absolute mess

So replaced them with some Lian Li fans. A total of 3 cables

£250 for fans stung a bit!

I take it you're a fan of fans..

.. I'll get my coat

Its nice! I love the colour mainly.

Passenger stuff is hit or miss. Some is amazing some is poop.

Any good? I've been eyeing up one of their hoodies, but I'd not heard of them before

Also, because it's me, this is a ladies version. Because for some reason, guys don't get teal stuff often!

PSA, if you have any tech or items that are coated in that rubbery surface finish, then after some years they will literally go manky with a tacky/sticky texture. It looks and feels gross, but here's where a small bottle of pure rubbing alcohol comes into play :cool:

Before:

After:

And the crap that came off it:

As the saying goes, when in doubt, rub one out :cool:

Yeah, the plasticiser migrates to the surface over the years.

These do look fantastic. Good price at the moment too.

Would love to replace my 34 inch ultra wide Samsung qled with one of these, but I'm a bit worried about burn in as it would be used for work use as well as gaming.

New camera/printer.

Wanted/need a portable printer, wanted this before Italy but finally found stock on the Fuji site this week, Instax Mini printer, free camera as bonus.

That looks ace, where is this deal for the printer and free camera?

It's basically a Fuji Instax Link Mini printer, but made it to look like a retro camera and then actually added a REAL digital camera into it with LCD screen, memory card slot. So it is basically a Polaroid that you can bluetooth your phone into and print photos from your phone too onto Polaroid style prints.

With 3yrs burn in warranty with express shipping for the replacement first it's really easy choice tbh. If yours gets burn-in, then just file a case with dell via whatsapp and a new one will be ordered the same day usually arriving next day or day after. The burned in one will be collected few days later.

This alone is reason enough to pick a Dell monitor over anything else in my books!

I was in the market for upgrading my laptop as had a bit of spare cash kicking about. Ideally was looking at a second hand 3070Ti due to the likelyhood of not using it as much as I would hope to but found this at a steal of £1679 so jumped in head first.

Don't say that, you're just going to add to temptation

I want a QDOLED too but to use that I will need a lot more…a new Mac, a new desk to fit it on, it’s going to be like £3-4k!

Nice looking machine.
Does that hinge design mean it will be easier to get rid of crud that builds up there?

I'm not too sure to be fair. Time will tell I guess. Hopefully not a build up point though.
