Do you actually need Windows Professional?

Is there much benefit in changing the cooler fans to LL120s for the extra RGB? With the 500D SE you can't see much of the RGB on the AIO fans anyway (at least I can't and my pc is on my desk)

Up here, delivery is somewhat slower. The Craigievar Express was built by the local postie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigievar_Express

Good to see you back @NoddyPirate

If you buy from the German website I believe the correct VAT is added. I am not sure that VAT is added if you buy from the UK website for delivery abroad and in this case you would need to pay the extra VAT upon entry to Germany.

Most of those I like, but I am uncertain about the Heisenberg joke. On Breaking it down, it’s Bad.

You could get some more power for editing with a more powerful CPU. This is at the top end of the budget. The monitor needs to be upgraded to make the most of the GPU in gaming. You would need to check that the cooler would fit in the case you select, if you don’t pick one from PCS. Case Send...

I think it is more that they can void the warranty, probably in the case where it goes wrong and you turn your pc into an inoperable brick. It is always advisable to contact PCS before changing BIOS. Changing the case or motherboard is a major undertaking and will almost certainly void the...

It is possibly so expensive as the distillery was closed in 1983, although it has now reopened and its first release may be available in 2032

At least this is Islay single malt and 17 bottles of it https://www.drinksandco.co.uk/whisky/port-ellen-silent-annual-releases-complete-set-1st-to-17th-release

I forgot Ardbeg, which should not be done. I used to belong to the Scotch Malt Whisky Society which sold cask strength single cask malts. There was a tasting session in Aberdeen where there were 4 or 5 hand poured cask strength malts to try. A non-drinking driver was definitely required.

It is really only Laphroaig that smells like TCP. There is also Bruichladdich and Port Ellen (distillery closed) and a new distillery. We once spent a December week at a resort in Aviemore and a whisky tasting was held with 4 different malts a bog standard Speyside (Glenlivet), one from a small...

Living in Aberdeenshire means I live close to the Whisky trail. Distillery visits are always a good bet when visitors appear, as long as I am not the driver.

All this talk of whisky is inspiring me to pour myself a Laphroaig. Islay malts can’t be beaten (or pronounced) in my book.

I am glad that you are drinking it. Some of my colleagues at my previous job bought whisky as an investment , which is just wrong.

You beat me to it about the best glass for whisky

You would need to drink the whisky quickly before all the alcohol evaporated

The advantage of the build from @Martinr36 is that it has a strong backbone and if you want better graphics in the future, you can add a suitable graphics card. Do you need the power line plugs, as you have also selected a WiFi card. I found that type of plug to be nothing but a pain, but others...

Why not get an external monitor for editing? It will be a lot better value than spending £2000 on a new laptop. You could get a specialist editing monitor with hardware calibration and 99% Adobe RGB gamut from BenQ for much less than that. For example, the SW270C (which I have) is 27 inch 1440p...

Many years ago I unlocked my Mini, got in and then had trouble getting the ignition key to turn. I then noticed that I had acquired some fluffy dice hanging from the rear view mirror and various items that I didn’t own on the back seat. It turned out to be a different Mini in the same horrible...
