    PCSPECIALIST To buy or not to buy?

    http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1e2e/?pfm=Search&t=back+to+the+future+flux+capacitor+wristwatch&cpg=cj&ref&CJURL&CJID=1583972 They need to come up with a better name though. I'm going for 1.21 Giga Watch. At 1.21 every day it goes "GREAT SCOTT!" And can't be turned off hahaha

    PCSPECIALIST Will PCS do Black Friday sales?

    Just curious. There are a few things I'm hoping to buy from various websites to upgrade my camera gear. My PC is starting to struggle with 4k editing, so if there are any sales going you never know, I might be tempted to spend some of my budget here :)

    PCSPECIALIST PS Vita Slim or NVIDIA Sheild tablet?

    Chemo is due to start on the 20th and I'm probably going to spend large amounts of time in bed. Figured I need something to pass the time! Where is our resident Shield salesperson? (You know who you are) Budget is £250 - don't want to stretch much further. The Sheild is more expensive and...

    PCSPECIALIST Can you all do me a favour?

    Right this second, check your neck, armpits and groin for any swollen glands. If there are any, and they're not painful in any way (although possibly very slightly tender) - get yourself to the GP for a check up. On Wednesday I was diagnosed with Hodgkins disease, luckily at an early stage...

    PCSPECIALIST What channel is the football on?

    I can get plenty of naff live streams - but it really infuriates me when I'd quite happily pay to legally watch a stream - but I can never find which flippin' channel it's on! It's the Everton vs Villa game, it's on now...

    PCSPECIALIST Has anyone experienced pink/green screen and ghosting?

    I have this problem at work where our capture cards look to be capturing OK - but when it has finished recording the file is pink/green and distorted. Objects are replicated and ghosted. Has anyone else experienced this? It sounds like a colour space issue but when we force a colour change the...

    PCSPECIALIST Can I return this iPad?

    I bought an iPad from Tesco last week - I've opened it. There's nothing wrong with it - I'm just not happy with it (probably because it's an iPad) - can I still return it?

    PCSPECIALIST My new PC...

    Ok, so not really. BUT. I was wondering what spec I could get for the same amount of money that I spent on my original rig (about £2300 in total). I didn't know as much about PCs as I do now - there is plenty I would have done differently! Anyway, slightly over £2300, and intended use is...

    PCSPECIALIST Did one of those impulse buys...

    ...and now my PC looks like this: Hurray for NZXT Hue! I just popped into Maplins. Usually they don't have stuff like this but they've really upped their game lately! Corsair fans and hue controllers! I was surprised. Usually when I shop online (where it's undoubtedly cheaper) I chicken out...

    PCSPECIALIST DDR3 RAM to go down in price?

    Now that DDR4 is out - are we expecting DDR3 to drop significantly? Obviously the way technology goes there will most likely be a price drop eventually... the question is by how much. I want to buy some new RAM but I'm happy to wait a few months longer if it means a decent saving :)

    PCSPECIALIST What's the longest distance you've ever ran?

    Ran/Run? I had to Google the correct tense haha. Anyway - just asking because I did the Great North Run yesterday. I remember thinking at the end "Thank god this isn't a full marathon!" Has anyone ever done a full marathon? What's it like? I imagine it feels like dying.

    Can anyone recommend any? I'm coming up a bit short. I need it to match this cooler: http://www.prolimatech.com/en/products/detail.asp?id=2445&page=1 and the blue ringed Corsair fans. These are the only ones I can find...

    PCSPECIALIST Can you help diagnose this issue?

    Hi folks, First things first (I'm a realist): This is not a PCS related issue. I'm just after some help with a work PC :) So basically every morning a couple of PCs (in the same building) are flagged as disconnected. When I go over to the venue to have a look - the PC power light is on. When...

    PCSPECIALIST Which do you prefer?

    I just want to see what the general consensus is like before buying more monitors Would you prefer gaming on one monitor with 4k (or even just a monitor with a higher resolution than 1080 and a faster refresh rate than 60hz) or would you prefer to have three 27" 1080 monitors at 60hz? I own...

    PCSPECIALIST Well this is annoying.

    Sat here at my desk going "Why is my PC making so much noise? What a racket!" So I open AI Suite Fan Expert and all my temps are OK, fans are OK etc... Get down on my hands and knees to listen to my PC.... It's my external HDD. The fan in my HDD makes more noise than my entire PC. What a...

    PCSPECIALIST WiFi or Homeplugs?

    Just wondering what would get me better speeds? Motherboard Wireless specs: Router specs: So I'm guessing 300mps is the max? Homeplugs such as THESE will be better? Might sound like an obvious answer but I just want to make sure before I buy :) EDIT or is the Router 300mps referring...

    PCSPECIALIST Triple Monitor Setup

    Hi folks, I'm looking at getting a triple monitor setup the next few months. Question 1: How does the 780ti handle three screens? I'm guessing it will do it but frame rate will suffer? Question 2: I currently have a 27" Acer (1080). Would it look weird getting two smaller screens either side...
