I got some £80 Sub Woofer and speaker set as well thrown in, should be here this week

CM4 / 5

Price = £ aye fuck off !!

Whats people think, good / bad ?!?!

canny good - unbranded yeah? Should be a pretty decent setup!

I havent asked that actually, fuck knows why i didnt :spangled:

Suppose its better that this Pentium 400, 6GB Hd

Its served me and me CDJ well

:spangled: explain.

It is branded... don't worry though - I won't tell...

That's a point - will that even normally fit? :spangled:

I dont think they would sell if its not gonna work !

Its either a mistake on the site / miss print on the advert !

It could be cos it's branded - my old compaq had a weird shaped board in it's case, a lot smaller than a standard ATX.

It does mean you'll have more space to stick in those little strip lights

Will i be able to upgrade one day i think ??

Not that i need to atm like

PMSL mate, that was my exact expresson and what I thought when I read that.

Think us normal folk are out of our league in Tecky Geeks Corner

i actualy just updated mine on the cheap

xp2500 and xp2600 chips + asus motherboard (the good one for over clocking) £85 from ebay

80gig hd from a sale on a forum £20
new case £25 from ebuyer

512 ddr 400 ram £55 from the local pc shop

qtec overclockers cooler and fan from ebay £10 ish

i re-used my other hdd, dvd and cdr drivers and fx5600 gfx card

its running 2.31ghz @ the moment on the xp2600 chip and its stable as fuck

the xp2500 chip is supposed to be better for over clocking but i couldnt get it past 2.2ghz without problems so i put it back in the bag, maybe the cooler isnt as good as i thought?

running unreal and stuff at sum decent frame rates tho with the card over clocked as well so im happy for another few years

going to fit another stick of 512 ddr 400 when i get a chance

I take it you're using the xp2600+ barton? Got mine at the same at the mo, but I'm gonna try pushing it a wee bit further...

It will run CM.

SORTED.

YKTS, its the only game I have installed on my comp

yeah i had it at 2.41 ghz but it wouldnt run 3dmark2003 so i backed it back down

Was testing it with 3Dmark01SE, I haven't even benchmarked it with 2003 yet.

I'll make the little fucker burn yet...

My checklist when i bought my comp:
- Can i get on the net?
- Has it got a big hard drive to store my music?
- Can it run Champ?

I have never experienced so many problems in all my life over sending some documents for me to sign !

I have rang Tiny about 6 times since last week, the orders been made and i was accepted for the credit check - all they needed to do was send the papers...

Anyways they havent came till today when two lots to sign came, then there's another lot due tomorrow as well - now when i have checked the papers it turns out that they have actually fucked the order up :evil: :evil:

I have just went light down the phone with a Mr Rashid Butt - everytime i ring them they cant understand me or they have problems - am fucking sick to death of the useless bastards !!!!!

If its not sorted asap then the orders off - ****s !!!!

Tell them you'll cut off their grandad's pension if they don't sort it!

Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!

I've got a 2800+ at the mo and I can only clock it to 2.21ghz.. which is 3200+ speeds!

I've got a sp-94 cooler on it.. so the temps are horrendously low..

Need to get me a 2500-m.. they can be clocked to 2.6!!!!
