  1. See below, black buts unclipped:
  2. The silver bits behind are attached, but the black bits just clip on / off.
  3. You could always get the grill itself painted to match? Though the black plastic bits that are attached to the grill can be removed can't they?
  4. You don't get to whinge unless you are running SLI 480s
  5. Even a 5 fps difference can be noticeable if it's at a critical number.
  6. The important points are where it takes you from 20 to 40. That's the difference between it being playable and unplayable.
  7. My mouse has macros and I never really use them. Chrome fills out web forms for me.
  8. (Watch the difference of the fps in the top left corners, pretty sure i spotted a few points with a 20fps difference)
  9. I've been using Compaq one that came free with some crappy PC World machine for the past decade with no problems. Mice make a massive difference, and I hat using anything but the one I have, but keyboards are all pretty much the same unless you opt for different switches (e.g. mechanical). The only thing it's missing is features (macros / anti-ghosting / n-key rollover etc) and a £100 price tag.
  10. Not the best advice I've seen... Don't get a 5400rpm HDD. That's silly. Most games would be fine, but some still use the HDD to load textures and stuff. Not to mention your load times would be awful. You should arguably stretch to an SDD - I've never really rated them, but you can't deny the benefit of instant load times. Stock cooling I wouldn't recommend, but you can probably get away with. Same goes for a case. But there are huge cooling and noise benefits from having better ones. This is where buying used stuff on the cheap gives amazing results for very little. And the one thing you should never compromise on, the most important part of any PC... the PSU. It's not just a case of going for a high wattage, you need it to be a quality unit (e.g. Corsair / Seasonic etc). Don't go for the Tesco value one, because it will fail, and when it does, it can take the rest of your PC with it. As for peripherals, a decent monitor is important, mouse too, but any cheap keyboard will do.
  11. PM anyone in the Admin group (red) here, click their name and then "send me a message". (Lexx would be your best bet.) Though as for your problem, where specifically are you trying to post? In the Zeds for Sale section there are 2 rules: I believe you should still be able to post in the wanted section or reply to any for sale posts though.
  12. Research time should be the same regardless of which you go for. So the only difference is having to add a few things to the basket rather than 1 and then spending all of 10 minutes assembling it.
  13. Not much reason not to go self-build. Bit of a faff to select the parts, but you'd be doing the same if going for a custom pre-built. Plus you get the option of picking up some used parts for cheap.
  14. Nope It's like Dan said, they go in the same place. Both reduce lift, but using different methods. Wings direct air upwards, pushing the car down, but causing drag. Spoilers prevent air from flowing where you don't want it, usually causing it to flow straight back, rather than downwards behind the car (causing lift), and reducing drag. Both are only functional at high speeds and improve cornering / stability. Spoiler top, wing bottom:
  15. I'll put some bacon there and see if I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone...
  16. How come I can reverse into my garage, leave the engine running and not melt everything behind my car / start a fire (there's about an inch of space before I hit a wooden cupboard). And nothing under the car get's burnt? And there's only heat shields on cats, nothing else?
