If you were going for speed bragging rights, purely - you should have pre-ordered one of these..... ;) https://www.scan.co.uk/products/4tb-intel-dc-p3608-aic-ssd-hhhl-pcie-30-(x8)-nvme-20nm-mlc-het-nand-5000mb-s-read-3000mb-s-write-850

Oh yeah - 1TBs aren't cheap. 512GB aren't too bad though... https://www.scan.co.uk/products/512gb-sandisk-x400-m2-(22x80)-ssd-sata-iii-6gb-s-15mm-read-540mb-s-write-520mb-s-935k-75k-iops-retai

Definitely. On my last reformat, I tried both. Two 7,200rpm SATAs in RAID0 and a single SSD. The single SSD trounced the dual SATAs in everything - loading times for Windows, launching times of the games itself, etc. If your new motherboard can support M.2 drives - go for one of those instead...

Do you have breakdown recovery perhaps through your bank instead? We've got Greenlight cover through our bank - but be careful where you call to say the car currently is. If it's at home, the furthest the recovery truck would take mine was within a 20 miles radius to a garage. When I called...

I'd add to that. The local Renault garage took three attempts to get my alternator right. Then had the cheek to say that it "had cost them" when I complained that the final bill was way too high. Oh. And they also lost my under-tray and reattached the front bumper with just two bolts. For all...

Nice one! Different - and that's the beauty of PC builds. Would be nice if the display on the front could lie flat, but that's only a minor thing.

BF1 made my piss boil earlier. I don't think I've ever been as frustrated with an online BF game as this. Caught one enemy AFK, stood about 20ft away. Nealt down scoped the Lewis and hit him three times (to which he didn't die) when his m8 popped up beside him and single pistol shot me dead. I...

It is one of the silly aspects of Apple products - the lack of easily upgradeable space. That said, it helps me maintain the device(s) free from clutter! Will be interesting if such a device you mention, works well?

It can do. But no pad matches the accuracy and scoping of enemies for the bow than K&M. Just a shame the ammo type changes are far less fluid. They should be slick and immediate - something that has clearly been honed for a pad only.

Welcome, Matt. :up: You sound the same as us - the missus currently has a Berlingo too. Might be selling that in the New Year though.

Best of luck with that! Are you tackling the crunching yourself? Or getting a specialist to refurb it?

The previous TR game was the only one I completed - even going as far back as the original PS1 days. It was a brilliant game, but more because it struck a chord with me with its background story and setting. The current game clearly follows a similar mould. Once I get my head around the...

Wow. You've certainly put in the effort! Nothing phased you or completely left you baffled so far?

Sounds like you got the best of both worlds. A tidy car on the aesthetics, but one that needed attention that you're happy to get stuck in with. If you weren't an expert as removing seized bolts, it appears that you are now! As with all RS models, I think the 197 really suits a nice drop in...

For me, it's probably Wasteland 2. Although strictly not a 2016 game, the 'final' release of it with the revised graphics engine was started by me, this year. It remained true to the original format of WL1. Added dialogue to characters that you actually cared for and had a story that was...

Welcome aboard! You're not a million miles from me either. :) Are the repairs essential or ones purely for ease of mind? Is the 197 your first RS?

I'm on PC m8. It is the internet that's acting up too. Just watching some Amazon Prime up to about 20 mins ago and it just bombed out. Used to be stable as anything when on a mere 6MB. Now we're on about 10MB and it's up and down all over the place. Not properly investigated it yet, but...

Yep - I think they are the same from the BF4 days. A good, simple description of the icons are here.... http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/240823/what-do-each-of-connection-warning-icons-mean

I like how you can come top on score without aiming to get the most kills. They are clearly trying to promote objectives and team work as being more important than going all Rambo. My internet is pissing me off though. If it could suffer from it, I'm sure my monitor would have screen-burn from...

What figures did these run as standard? Great purchase btw - totally bonkers and a very rare sight. Nice to see something unusual being tinkered with.

Good find - might buy that if I get bored of DiRT Rally?

A great place - I'd definitely recommend it!

Exactly the same noise I had - and like you, just when the car was idling. A new gasket kit sorts it out. :)

I never, ever understand creations like this from car manufacturers. Those silly solar powered, 3,000mpg technical showcases are one thing - as are concept cars. Purely the minds of engineers and designers allowed to run riot. But when they clearly release a car that is SO close to viable...

@Leeshez Yesterday, cheers! :) The Beemer was looking all clean!

Didn't these have the gearbox right in front of the rear axle, iirc?

Good find mate. Stuck them on my uPlay account now. :up:

Even my ROG PG278Q is over £100 more expensive than last year. Glad i got it when I did!

Dimma kits just make me shudder. Each to their own and that, but christ they are fugly to look at. The just look cheap and nasty - almost the epitome of what BarryBoydom is all about. I don't give a flying monkeys what people see me driving in. I'd happily pull up to work in a window-shaking...

I agree - that's at the very core of this game, I think. In Project Cars for example, you're focused on not upsetting the balance of the car. Usually everything is that stiff that any heavy-handedness results in a slide or spin onto the trackside. With Rally - you have to grab the car by the...
