Picked these up as my Netgear ones were having performance issues.

The AV2000 ones were too much as I needed at least 3 of them.

Wow can they actually do 1Gbps from one to the other?

I can probably test it but I doubt it, maybe it will get a few hundred mbps but factors like quality of power cables and length will make a difference.

Internet is only 35mbps so if I get over that it's normally ok. My Netgear ones would seem to throttle back though to like 5mbps!

Some new speaker wire and plugs to make things tidier.

I ordered 3 x Cat6 Network cables that arrives yesterday and they even came with Haribo!

This irks me. I've been using OcUK since forever and not once have I ever received a pack of Haribo in an order. The only time I did get one was when I popped in to grab my new case and they had a jar of them on the counter.

That's why it's best not to link your forum account with their online shop

No rhyme or reason to it though. I have bought a £3k of bits and got none yet bought a £10 item and got 5 bags. I always have my fourm linked to the shop as well.

Over the last 6 to 8 weeks, a Sofa, chair, cupboard, some plants, and, most recently, a nest of tables, for our dining/ family room:

Also, a cast iron electric fire for the other end of the room. And a gingerbread house made by Mrs Cheesyboy and the kids:

It's taken a long time to get this room sorted. Been working on it for about 2 years on and off. Could still do with some more pictures on the walls, looks a bit empty without the Xmas decs , but we're close.

Looks good

You're a brave man posting images of green chairs and white walls

Bro, we planned for a long time to have a corner sofa there, despite me being somewhat in the corner sofa=chav camp (it would have been a practical use of the space though.....). I wouldn't have shown my face here

Are they real Eames dining chairs or replicas? Either way they look great. Love your Scandi style armchair too.

tom_e · 22 Dec 2018 at 15:31

New lid after crashing last weekend.

Dis86 · 22 Dec 2018 at 15:35

@tom_e I hope you were OK! Obviously nothing too serious since you're riding again?

Bruising, cracked rib nothing too bad.

Replicas, quite cheap ones too, but they're pretty good.

The armchair is a John Lewis one. It's comfortable as well as looking pretty awesome

They look nice. Where are they from?

They're Fisual Deluxe plugs. The best part about them is it's a screw in locking mechanism (for the actual insertion into devices). Much better than those fiddly normal types.

I lost my mind on holiday and bought a whole new machine:

Ryzen 2700x
Hidden underneath is a LG 32GK850F, pictured below, with old 27" mounted above with a gas sprung wall mount I also purchased.
Still need to find time to build PC!

The most important part of the order! What a mug!

Wismech Ravage 230 died when I dropped it at work, so popped into a local Vape shop and picked up a VooPoo Drag which happened to match my Freemax Mesh Pro perfectly!

£15 eBay air blower, to clean out old components and I can't justify paying for a proper one!

How did you crack a rib when they have so much padding?
