Infadel Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Guys I Finally remembered my password and username Reason for posting in this thread well... I have always wanted a gaming PC YAY Right? I was offered an i7 980 with a GTX 780Ti used with a keyboard & Mouse that after research appear to be hardcore MMO type stuffs or do I go with http://www.novatech.co.uk/pc/range/novatechblacknti184.html that.. The I7 is interesting to me because I play ESO on the Xbox and the guild I help run would like to get certain members into streaming, They are not too bothered as to when I decide to start but I'm high on the list. In case the URL thing was wrong here is the link again: http://www.novatech.co.uk/pc/range/novatechblacknti184.html Thank you for any help Craig Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Go for the used pc. Less powerfull cpu, but most gamed are gpu intensive anyway. The gpu will keep you afloat for a while as well. What price for that used pc? Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Good point, Belgium is closer to me than Manchester. Sure, Belgium, North France, North Germany, The Netherlands and Denmark maybe? Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Talk to me about power supplies, people. My antec has just died and I need a new one. Been recommended the corsair rmx 550. 70 quid but 10 year warranty. Its more than I wanted to spend but its looking tempting. Should I go for that one or take the risk on a cheaper (£20ish) one? Failing that, any suggestions? Need about 550/600W Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Love my Corsair. Modular PSUs are awesome for tidying up the case. Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Depends, would you value what's in that case at £50? Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Probably a bit more than that... I5-760 and a gtx 570... Link to post Share on other sites
Got Wood? Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Then it's probably worth backing it up with a decent power supply rather than riskingnit Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 PSU's are the blood of your system. They fail, your system fails and it can even take components with it. So a good PSU with warranty is crucial. I recommend lower wattage Corsair PSU's. The future will only be more power efficient so a 700W should do the trick for a modern system. Models AXi, HX and RM ( respectively High End, Upper Mainstream and Silent). The little i models come with USB plug so you can monitor the health of your PSU . They also selftest and come with 5 to 10 years of warranty. Nothing but good words for Corsair PSU's. Yes, I am a fan. Ps Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Fair enough, hadn't thought of it like that. Decided to go for the rmx 550.its plenty enough power for me, and the 10 year warranty really seals the deal. Link to post Share on other sites

paranoiddroid Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Ok iv asked the q in the *suitcasey* day thread but... Um had a stuck key on a think pad keyboard and annother went crunchy then stopped dead popping the key off fixed one key but the dead ones still dead how do I fix it and how do you get the key back on?

amateurstuntman Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 See the other thread. But basically, I need to know the model number because the keycap assemblies are different. Link to post Share on other sites
paranoiddroid Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Only marking I can find is T510 It's a manual keyboard and lovely Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 I believe you can even get a new keyboard for lenovo's Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Yes you can. The Keyboard you need is a T400s/T410s/T420s/T410/T420/T510/T520/W510/T520/X220 keyboard. I don't think I have a spare but I'll check. Putting the buttons back on is very fiddly and involves a scissor type double button guide. You can do it but there is a good chance you will snap off one of the tiny tiny legs. What you might find useful is the Hardware Maintenance Manual for your model. It is at this link: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj_j5Ht5rvOAhUKL8AKHcPmDP0QFggcMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fdownload.lenovo.com%2Fibmdl%2Fpub%2Fpc%2Fpccbbs%2Fmobiles_pdf%2F63y0536.pdf&usg=AFQjCNHFbOrTsrx9Mk_GHIR38UR5fbBBdg&sig2=UhVhRjHSk1g9gw3Ij5N88g And tells you how to do almost any job including giving you the FRU codes for all the parts. Once you know the FRU code it is super simple to get the parts you need. The UK keyboard FRUs are 45N2100, 45N2170 and 45N2240. Armed with that info you can get onto ebay and find new ones. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Keyboard-Lenovo-45N2135-45N2170-for-T410-T420-T510-W510-X220-/331935142671 £25 for the keyboard, posted. If you replace it, send me the old one and I'll try to fix it so you have a spare... Link to post Share on other sites

paranoiddroid Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Wow... Thanks hun also how difficult is a keyboard replacement on one of these things I'm just terrified of killing it like every other laptop in ever opened or had to have opened. The boy is in Sheffield and could do it for me but still I'm a bit nervpus Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 I've stripped down laptops before, just read through the service manual before hand and have it up on another computer for reference and you should be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
