Technically not my purchase, but a dog bed, bought by Mrs Bear. For the dog, obviously.

Welcome back TG, it'll be interesting to watch the descent into chaos that you are bound to bring to these parts with the crazy uber rigs that are bound to follow. It is nice to have you back around these parts again buddy. Hope you're doing alright?

Welcome back Si! Triple 1440p 120hz mate, that's where it's going to be at

 

Woohoo! Si's back!

Si, pick up some 780 Tis if you have the cash spare. The 780s I have are hands down the best cards I have ever dealt with.

 

2 and half hours on my tat... another £150. totalling £300 so far now. One last session left now!

 

I so nearly went for a Ti myself with the extra cores etc, but settled on a MSI GeForce GTX 780 Twin Frozr OC, I'm not sure the Ti is worth the extra £200 even if it's faster than a Titan, Titan is just overpriced, your right about the 780's though I paid £390 and it's really cool, quiet and worth every penny and you got three FFS

 

Hope it's better than this one!

 

oh lord! he does not want to get laid any time this life then?

 

I have been chosen by BT to receive a free upgrade to fibre optic, apparently- appointment booked for 4th of Feb, looking at around ~40-50Mb down & ~20Mb up, which will be a big improvement on what I get now:



I was considering upgrading anyway even though it was an extra ~£10-15 a month, but for free- why the heck not eh...

 

Post a pic man, lets check it out

You jammy ***REDACTED***!
Fibre doesn't even get here in N Wales for another 6 months!

 

Getting a Zotac 780 AMP soon. Possibly collecting today if the person gets back to me.

£50 cheaper than retail price with warranty and a few hours usage.

The Mothership

 

Picked it up yesterday (C2W), fitted a set of Shimano M530 pedals this morning and took it for a little ride, the seat needs to go! its nowhere near a comfortable as my Spoon. Other than that though I really happy with it.

 

Three fans looks good, I just can't bring myself to buy a reference model card when there are so many good alternatives with better cooling and already o/clocked with a warranty, saves me attempting to o/clock and frying it

I thought I might need a bigger PSU as I have a 550W PSU but it is a seasonic gold model and I've had no problems, I use a zalman fan controller with a Wattage display on it and my system, i5-2500k @ 4.4GHz, 8GB RAM, GTX 780, one ssd and one hdd and it never pulls more than 210-220W

 

WOW nice. But do not take that out on the streets of london

 

Luckily I live in Lincolnshire, and its the perfect tool for all the farm tracks around here

 

Lol!

Thanks Mate! - I missed you guys too!

Yes I am mate! Bigger and stronger than before!

Thanks mate! - You will indeed, but I'm not gonna go mad until we get the Nvidia 8XX series are out, as to be honest, my PC has been used for about a month since it was built last April...

Thank you mate! - Of course, just this time around I have a lot more funds!!! (Hopefully the ex doesn't read this post...)

Yes it's good to be back, and I'm doing OK thanks!

Thanks Mate! - Yes, I so want!!!

Thanks mate, yes I'm back!

I would love to, but I'm gonna wait till the next gen before I go all crazy again! - Just gonna go easy and get a couple more U2713HM in the next few weeks.

BTW - Liking your new rig and 4K monitor!

 

Love the tech, disc brakes, flip changers on the levers, it looks quite short but could be the straight forks and big tires, it's not a hybrid type but those tires aren't skinny racing types are they?

I used to like cycling, not in a competitive way just for exercise and seeing the scenery, I live in Cornwall so there's plenty of scenery but most of it is at the top of a hill, plenty of them in Cornwall
Make my old Sun 5 speed look a bit sick

 

The tires are 700x35c so 1.35" wide on road sized rims, I think I'm going to get another pair of wheel built for a set of super skinny slicks. My frame is the smallest size they do 50cm because I'm a short arse and the 53cm was a tiny bit too big!

 

I have a similar system.

2500k @4.4 one SSD plus three HDD 8GB RAM too.

Can't wait to have this beast in my rig. Currently on the way to collect it plus hang out with Gavbon for a few hours.
