    Latest gaming without gaming rig

    Used to play a lot of wow- a lot meaning 8 hours a day with a hardcore Dutch guild lol! My healer was rated 16th on this European server - considering there must be thousands and thousands of active players on each server i was pretty chuffed with that. Just downloaded Elder scrolls online as well

    I think i had to go payg for a stupid spec. I did a speed test and got some silly number like 4000gb. I used to work in a internet provider and its because people like Microsoft dont just have the odd rack mounted server in a data centre but a whole data centre. I went to one called Telehouse...

    Lol,,I used to have my own little IT shop back in 2000, it only lasted about 2 years as I couldn’t match the bulk buy prices places like PC World got but sites like Overclockers weren’t as well known. we used to make big 3 screen Battlefield machines for LAN parties and it’s about then that...

    Latest gaming without gaming rig

    Cool i used to build water cooled lan rigs. A custom gaming build is still the way to go for gaming as long as you don’t mind upgrading every few years to cope with the new games. I found that putting so much money into other hobbies meant I couldn’t spend over a grand on a nice machine so the...

    Thermometers

    Ive found that even the digital thermometers can be +/- 3-4 degrees out. So now i use a mercury one hidden away which i know is accurate but as you said difficult to read. Then use a DB1820 probe with a STC1000 controller and calibrate it each month.

    Relocating 75-gallon Tank Upstairs->Downstairs

    I use a new plastic dustbin for my water changes and as you said just give it a good clean with hot water. I bought some of the below from Draper for £7 and they were a god send when lifting a 450 litre tank. It was a nightmare

    New Xbox lands tomorrow!

    Hi all I meant to preorder but with the 5ft tank build being a money pit I never had chance. Now it seems too be a bit of a fiasco with PS5’s going for nearly £900 on EBay.. Xbox Series X was my next choice but there sold out and they too have a markup second hand - soo found myself a...
