  1. Nah - current case is awesome - will get a "cheapie" to house the guts I'm replacing in it. Have always gone for function over form - cars, bikes, PC's etc have always been understated.
  2. My case doesn't have windows and don't go in for bling but yeah - looks good. Has LEDs for the rear plate though which is bloody handy
  3. Yeah - wasn't real patient MB/RAM/CPU/Cooler installed
  4. His real name is KEV - just auto corrects to JET A pretty high up legal firm we deal with in the UK/BVI/IOM/Caymans etc had a message/notice board/mailing list that had a "reply all" as default. Blondie in the typing pool accidentally cc'd the board instead of bcc'ing. The next week was an absolute email nightmare as several thousand on the list got every single "unsubscribe", "you f*cked up", "this is broken" email that was replied to. Instruction to the list was "reply unsubscribe" if you wanted to leave. Every single person who replied "unsubscribe" sent another round of emails off to everyone - who replied asking them to stop, that sent off another round etc etc etc.
  5. Have done - will be getting back into it once my PC and rig is sorted Got the screens, seat and wheel etc setup then had to pull them all down to make room for the office/kids Have just (in the last week or so) decided to make a second PC to set it all up again in the bedroom so I can shut the door and lock out the world (kids) edit: got out of the lower class (D?) and into C and was starting to come to grips with different tracks and cars when I had to pack it all away. Much, much different to racing AI in other games.
  6. Haha - can't remember the exact text, but my first phone with auto correct Was sms'ing a new chick to ask her out for something to EAT Ended up calling her FAT
  7. Decided to hold off til the weekend - there's a slight chance I could get a delivery tomorrow and am also at my busiest time of year (work wise). If something went wrong tonight on the build I'd be stuffed tomorrow. Would be interested to try something like Minecraft or ("soon to be released") No Mans Sky - I reckon they'd be more CPU limited than GPU (to a point)
  8. Am sure I'm soon to be the proud father of a keg
  9. CPU, RAM, cooler and Motherboard have turned up - GPUs and main hard drive probably won't be here til after the weekend :( Am fighting the urge to put it together with what I have (will be using my main case, so will be without a 2nd PC til it's done)
  10. You'll lose 10 in another 6 months
  11. Client paid an large account up to date - was able to pay my tax bill, a fair few other bills and still have a nice cash amount in the bank Knew the payment was coming, but felt good to have it hit the account. EOFY shopping here I come
  12. Have the DP2 - an absolute blast with racing games - huge potential there once they mature a bit Will definitely jump on a consumer version once the hype's worn off a bit and it's a bit more concrete which way to go forward with.
  13. I've got the Yoke, pedals and a few dash controls. Starting to learn towards getting pilot licence so replicated a Cesna as close as I could. HOTAS is on the cards for when the systems finally up and running. Was all set to put it all together, get it going etc but I decided to move the office home and a couple of kids moved back in. Shortage of a spare room for the toys took the momentum away. Hopefully being able to offload my current PC to be a dedicated system for it will re-ignite it all again.
  14. Yep - currently (long, long project - am slack) building a separate unit for a modular racing/flying sim (modular to swap between G25 wheel and Saitek flight controls) and to allow 2 people to race in between that and the triple screen setup (player 2 gets the "slow one")
  15. I go through stages. Won't even tough the desktop PC for months at a time and just potter round on the Surface
  16. Mine started life almost a twin of this one - 3770k, 2x7970's, 16gb ram, 3x27" (middle screen was a different model too) Sold the 7970's for GTX980's - will be using this setup for the 3 screen racing/flight simulator. New setup being sourced atm with 6700k, 32gb, M.2 SSD and GTX1080's for the 4k screen (980's struggle at times with 4k, but unstressed on the triple screens)
  17. Binge watched "The Americans" the other weekend - was surprisingly good.
  18. Sell a kid (make sure you keep tabs on them though in case you need to track them down for a kidney transplant later in life)
  19. She gets a better level of stoopid on here
