  1. I have an i5 3570k 3.40GHz, overclocked and stable at 4.2Ghz on a stock cooler, thought about the i7's but all the i5 K range has open multipliers hence giving it amazing clock speeds, and reasonably priced. In my mind if anyone wants to start a business up here, selling gamers hardware, the best way would be to sell individual items and sell them as close to online prices as possible, I wouldn't mind paying slightly higher prices if I knew I could get it when I wanted it, the only downside to that to make any profit off it would to buy it in bulk, and that for CPU's, GFX cards, memory etc would mean a huge amount of money and the likely hood that by the time you got through half of your stock, things would of moved on hugely in terms of computer specs.
  2. An air source heat pump extracts heat from the outside air in the same way that a fridge extracts heat from its inside. It can get heat from the air even when the temperature is as low as -15° C. Since air source heat pumps work best when producing heat at a lower temperature than traditional boilers, it's essential that your home is insulated and draught-proofed well for the heating system to be effective. Running costs will vary depending on a number of factors - including the size of your home, and how well insulated it is, and what room temperatures you are aiming to achieve. You may be able to receive payments for the heat you generate using a heat pump through the government’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). This scheme should be launched in Summer 2013. http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/scotland/Generating-energy/Getting-money-back/Renewable-Heat-Incentive-RHI Heat pump systems typically come with a 10 year warranty. You can expect them to operate for 20 years or more, however they do require regular scheduled maintenance. A yearly check by you and a more detailed check by a professional installer every 3-5 years should be sufficient. The installer should leave written details of any maintenance checks you should undertake to ensure everything is working properly. Consult with your supplier for exact maintenance requirements before you commit to installing a heat pump. One of the yearly checks that you are likely to be advised to carry out is to check that the air inlet grill and evaporator are free of leaves or other debris. Any plants that have started to grow near the heat pump unit will also need to be removed. You may also be advised by your installer to check the central heating pressure gauge in your house from time to time. If so, you should be shown how to do this. To prevent the heat pump from freezing in cold winter weather anti-freeze is used. Levels of anti-freeze and its concentration is one of the things that a professional installer will check when he comes to service your heat pump. If your heat pump has external refrigeration pipes (very unusual for a domestic system) these will need to be serviced annually by a refrigeration engineer.
  3. I ma on ADSL2+, i'm on the Plusnet network for now, i have a Buffalo Airstation, went into the router and changed the modulation to ADSL2+. Spoke we the Plusnet guys and they confirmed that I was on ADSL2+, i'm 2 miles from the Lerwick exchange. Speed hasn't changed but the QoS is spot on (so far), no outtages at all... My brother-in-law is very close to the Lerwick exchange, he's with BT and his connection has gone from 8mbps to 19.5mbps, jammy git...
  4. Yeah, but at least it's a step in the right direction, always better than nothing...
  5. With the news that's out about BT laying in ADSL2+ for the start of next year must mean better things for us gamers and lovers of 'always on' internet connections, woohoo ! ! ! ! At last, the wheels of something are in motion...
  6. 'Home' Is in toon... The ditch witch went straight past me hoose, a long long time ago...
  7. Just wondering when this fibre optic is coming to my home??? Anyone know? Marvin? wots 'appening? Getting so fed up with ADSL.
  8. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2097998259.png SHOCKING !!!
  9. I'd say it would be a good idea, if it provided jobs to the community, used the best of what we have in our seas, with a wide variety of food on offer. Somewhere in Burra would make a good eatery, say that old fish factory next to the Burra garage, lovely views from there, looking down Cliftsound...
  10. Been with Plusnet for about 6 months, faultless customer services (UK based too), only thing letting them down is out of their hands anway which is the BT lines, 10/10 for Plusnet..
  11. I bought 12Gb DDR3 1600Mhz Tri-channel a month ago for £64, Bought 4Gb DDR2 1066Mhz a year or so ago for well over £100
  12. Try RAIDing 24 SSD's !! total Awesomeness!!!
  13. Well if its SSDs your looking for then don't go for the traditional 2.5" SSD's, i'd be going for the PCI-E SSD drives, superior read/write speeds but slightly pricier... http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-revodrive-x2-pci-express-ssd.html And if money is no object.... http://www.ebuyer.com/278529-ocz-480gb-revodrive-3-x2-pci-e-ssd-read-1500mb-s-write-1250mb-s-rvd3x2-fhpx4-480g
  14. Ah ok, I should read the news more then I guess lol...
  15. Just noticed that the price of computer hard drives have doubled or even tripled, 1Tb drive last week would cost around £40 - 50, is now £100. I've been keeping my eye on the Seagate Momentus XT 500Gb Hybrid drive, was on overclockers last week for £89, now it's £155!! Did a wee bit of digging about an I htink i've found the answer to why this has shot up in price, the Chinese are responsible!! http://latestchina.com/article/?rid=39354
