MadManMike Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Anyone know of a good 256gb SSD deal at the moment? I've seen a few around £60, but I don't know what's good - I'd rather not buy some junk that fails after 3 months just to save a tenner.

JD™ Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I absolutely loved that expansion. I might dig it out again, sure I have it somewhere. Probably quicker to find an emulator though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted November 25, 2015 Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 Simulator Phase 1 is about to get completed, finally. I was going to paint it, but I haven't had a nice enough day outside so I'm going with this instead. Wife's gonna love the mess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Bought a seat setup. It was cheap so I'm not expecting much and may have to do some modding to suit it to my liking but it will do! Not my photo as it hasn't turned up yet. Also, really tempted to build a little itx build just for my normal computer use and use my curent rig for games only. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weirdoku Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 EVGA 980 Superclocked incoming! So fed up with the micro stutter of my pair of 660s. Didn't make sense to upgrade to a single 970 since performance is similar and couldn't afford two 970s, didn't want sli again either. So only option was a 980 :D Would have gotten the KFA version with higher clock speed for same price but it physcally doesn't fit in my case.

forteh Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I'm still reasonably happy with my 660, fallout4 is the only game I've played so far that has slowed it down below 60fps maxed out; plays very smoothly on high quality 1080p so I'm happy with that and the visual differences between high and ultra settings are minimal Not sure how much the 4.5ghz cpu is shoring it up but it certainly pulls it's weight for a 65 quid gpu!

weirdoku Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Want to buy two more 660s for tri sli? Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Tempting but no Not enough room in my non-case with the thermalright passive cooler and balls if I'm going back to the stock coolers. Don't think my motherboard does tri anyways, besides which I reckon by the time I need to upgrade 980s will be dirt cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 This 980 should last me a while. I do wonder what the next gen card names will be though. 1050, 1060, 1070 and 1080 would be just sound silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 got a Logitech G29 with the gearbox and it makes the car racing games amazing again! they need tons of set up though, but when properly set up, it is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Should have just gotten a G27, unless you're on a PS4/Xbone. EDIT: You mean gear stick by the way. Edited November 30, 2015 by weirdoku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: You mean gear stick by the way. thing is it is pretty hard to find G27 new, and the G29 was brand new £205, and that is cheaper than most G27 nope, I meant gearbox. it is a bit oily and smelly... maybe that is the reason why it is not compatible with my PC?

weirdoku Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Unlucky you. I got mine brand new from Amazon for £180 delivered. Since the G29 came out places must have jacked up the prices. I just had a look and they are all ridiculously higher than they should be! Mind you Pcworld were selling the G29 for £179.99 black friday. Was that £205 including the stick?

Was that £205 including the stick? yeah, basically as the G27 is old and they do not make it, they become rare and the prices are stupidly high, take a look on Amazon yeah, I bought it from there. £180 for the wheel and pedals, +£25 for the stick EDIT: and considering I bought my previous Logitech steering wheel 7 years ago, if it last half as much it is still a good deal Edited November 30, 2015 by HippY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Clearly the G27 was the better deal lol. I got mine back in May. It seems Logitech has removed it entirely from their online store too. It was available to buy there when I was looking for mine. Sucks cos if my G27 breaks I'd want another G27.

weirdoku Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I seriously can't believe how high the G27 prices have gone up. I've seen as high as £500 on Amazon. What the f**k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Is it possible to set up a raspberry Pi as HTPC? I want to buy my dad one for Christmas which some kind of attached storage and stick a bunch of 50 and 60s movies on there. Is this doable?

weirdoku Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yeah. Use something like OSMC for the OS, attach a external hard drive (own power maybe), mouse, keyboard and speakers and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
