Firstly, thanks to all who have advised me in the past. My main question with this is is the Hyper X RAM worth the extra price. I may game a little but this is mainly for music, video production and will have multiple windows open when working, including several web pages, GIMP, VLC, Libre...

If anyone is interested, all of the i7-4790 CPUs are on the configurator again for the Octane.

I have emailed PCSpecialist about this but thought worth asking here as well. I am about to order an Octane but there is now only one i7 available, the 4790S (3.2GHz - 8MB Cache). The 4790 (3.6GHz - 8MB Cache) has been taken off. My question to them was whether this was a stock thing and if it...

I tried to reply to a forum post earlier today and was redirected to the Cloudfare site, saying my post had been blocked. This happened a couple of times at least an hour apart, although, as you can see, I did eventually get back on. Have emailed PCS with the incident report number, just...

I have been looking at the cooling stands for laptops offered by PCS and have seen mixed reviews around the web. Ideally I would like to get the cooler in with my laptop order, it is convenient and prices do not seem much different. Does anyone have any experiences of the Zalman and Cooler...

Hi, any other sppedway fans here. I don't really support any one team, although Swindon are my nearest club and I will cheer them on before others but I just like the sport in general. I think it appeals to my sense of the ridiculous, get a 500cc bike without any brakes and race it on the...
