  1. The mobo im looking at has sata 3 and the likes on it. Its a h61. Overclocking doesnt seem to be very good as the multiplyer is locked. What FSB are these things running these days? Will the onboard graphics be able to play hd video smoothly though?
  2. WOW slow and thirsty
  3. an i5 is to much for the office pc its nearly double. For a home pc I would get one but with the pennies Im saving the idea was to get a SSD and a bigger hdd. Do all SSD's have trim? Whats a good read and write speed? the ocz vertex Read 185MB/s Write 90MB/s but OCZ 60GB Agility 3 "claims" - Read 525MB/s Write 475MB/s. I'd prefer to build it myself as it pretty easy. I just hate using TIM if you still get it these days.
  4. Hi Guys, needing some help. I've been out of the pc fold for along time. The last pc I built was a socket 754 amd athlon 64 3200+! So im needing a new PC for my office. It needs to be fast and play HD video smoothly. Decent on power too as it will be on for long periods of time. I was looking at the new AMD APU's and they dont seem as fast as intel's for processing. I was looking at either an Intel i3 2100 or 2105 (sandy bridge). Do they seem good benchmarks say they are good. But can their intergrated graphics play HD video off youtube or a disk smoothly? I have an ati 5450 and that seems to manage. I was going to match that up with a H or Z series mobo with some 1600mhz ram. The last system I built was ddr400 with cl2 now its cl10. If they cant play video smoothly I can get a cheap gfx like the 5450, but if I dont have to then it saves me money as I wont be gaming at work. Thanks
  5. sounds like the cats. If its a sulphury rotten eggy chemically burny smell then its most likely your cats.
  6. horsham or motordyne. best gains and retains strut brace. You get angled and taller ones and some people say they work and some dont.
  7. me neither
  8. DAB is decent but its old tech now. They need to upgrade it all but doing that will render all normal DAB stuff void. DAB in the car is great but the cost of it and considering the quality it isnt great. But 1xtra and radio4xtra are great.
  9. It looks a bit master chief halo on the inside. Looks pretty cool
  10. My car has 1 adjuster knob (JDM) it makes the base of the seat change angle. Maybe the uk cars have lumbar support?
  11. Yes the vreds are more feedbacky. But the mps3 are better IMO. I'm running them at the moment and that are decent. They also clear standing water better than the vreds. They are more pricey though.
  12. Hose clamps or a glove tied up high on the spring works too.
  13. i have the swatches still lying around at home i'll try and take some pics and post up for you tomorrow That would be awesome. I want something textured for my dash. If you have any of the faux leather type stuff that Hexis do that would be great also.
  14. Rich you got a picture of any of the sequin ones?
  15. Dblock

    What else?

    mech diff, good coilovers, stiffer anti roll bars, manifolds, pulleys
  16. I dont have a broken bleed nip but incase it happens to me which it probably will I would like to know how to deal with it. Helicoil it maybe?
  17. Not too bad, but I prefer a razor personally A razor is fine and easy but hair grows back far too quickly. I've heard over a few months an epilator will reduce the time taken to grow hair and reduce thickness too?
  18. A question to the ladies of the forum. How painful is an epilator?
  19. Running costs are higher than you are budgeting for. But a 4 year loan? For a car? I wouldn't do it personally.
  20. damn. i need to find myself a lonely lady with a house...
  21. Thats an awesome house. Congrats. I wish I had the money for a house What is it that Sarnie does then?
  22. Im not sure what year it was but pretty sure it was a 2.7. It was painfully slow my 2l 172 was way faster. Handled like a boat compared to the clio too. Oh yeah its ugly too I've never used that auto glym stuff I use I4D's own brand stuff and its great.
  23. Id try the scooby. a 313 would be great I'd love one but if you got that itch its not going to itch any less until you scratch it... Test drive is your only way though IMO.
  24. Nice holiday but you should really wear sun block I bet you will shed the weight in skin
