Sounds dead - could even be that the heads are scraping away at the disc platters as you're trying to access them. You can send drives off for professional recovery - but they are extremely expensive - the last one we used was over £1k for one corrupted hard drive. That said, there was only...
I think it's worse when you know that the car was designed initially to be right-hand drive to begin with and then a UK driver potentially having to compromise in running it over here.
It wouldn't bother me as much if I lived abroad, in one of those countries that drive on the wrong side of the...
Depends on how much the car means to you. If it's simply a 'car', then scrapping it makes sense.
If you've got any form of attachment to it, maybe look into the costs of getting it fixed?
The first question I'd ask would be with regards to the monitor/TV and the resolution that you'll be outputting to. What you pick here will go a lot towards your requirements for a graphics card and from that, the CPU and memory to do it justice. It's quite easy to get a cheap CPU being a...
Fitted two more M6 bolts to my frame yesterday as I saw a small section of the base support tray move up under braking. Can't have that. :P
Also went around the frame with a ratchet to nip up any loose bolts. With the frame I'm using being collapsable, over time fittings do tend to start...
£12.99 currently on cdkeys.... https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/wreckfest-pc-steam-cd-key?utm_source=criteo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=lowerfunnel&utm_content=criteo
Does what it should do really well though. The only stumbling block in the OP's original requirements is playing the occasional game. Macs are still way behind in native game support.
Depends on how much you'll be using it too. Utilising a new MacBook Pro makes the majority of laptops feel like...
@charltjr - you mentioned the chair first - @SharkyUK - you seem more definite in getting one. I've got just the one referral link coming through.
Happy to send it through to the first person who's going to order a chair! ☺
One of the best purchases I've made for the PC in recent times was the better chair. Made such a difference - more so with the COVID-19 stuff and working from home. Very comfy and adjustable in many ways. I'm sure they do a friends referral scheme on their chairs - you'll have to let me know if...
After trying the majority of manufacturers over the years (haven't tried Ducky yet - though they are on my list!) - I'm currently using a Corsair K63 keyboard, which is excellent if you don't need the keypad. And a Corsair M65 Pro RGB mouse.
I also like that the iCUE software also supports the...
Game-changer - excuse the pun.
Like watching TV at SD576i for years then getting 4K. Your eyes become snobby with the slightest hint of screen tearing on other monitors!
Belt driven can be a bit hit & miss also - especially if you're into endurance races. Heat build-up can start to see (and feel) the belt slipping and make your sun-baked car on track at Laguna Seca, behave like you're racing on the ices fields of Siberia. My nephew had that quite badly with his...
No worries - I the one I ordered was this, but I guess it will be cheaper with a discount code applied or bought from elsewhere? I certainly didn't pay that much for one.
