Thanks man, I'll probably end up getting the one in the first link from Amazon as it's £5 cheaper and the newer version of the Amazon one you linked.

Was tempted to just get a 500gb Samsung one as I might not need the 1tb but I may as well get the WD 1tb one.
I seem to have botched my Vista service pack one install and I keep getting a blue screen with the words DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or the error code of Stop 0x000000D1. I could not system restore and after I cleared up space in safe mode I couldn't restore. I've tried googling every single thing about service pack one but none of those options have helped

Get into safe mode with networking and Install [URL="http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bluescreenview_setup.exe"]Bluescreenview[/URL], it will take all the useful info out of bluescreen dump files and make it easy to figure out.
Also, run sfc /scannow at a command prompt

I tried the sfc /scannow before and it said it fixed corrupted files but it didn't fix anything. When I go into programs and features the update doesn't show there either.
Not sure if there is a better place to ask, but can anyone suggest a good PC racing wheel? The only ones that seem decent are like £200+ (Logitech G27).
Does anyone know if there are any semi-decent steering wheels with force feedback and 3 pedals for £100 or less?
So I just got a desktop and am going to be moving my internet modem into my room. But cable outlet is currently connected to my TV cable box. My desk where I am planning to put the modem is on the other side of the room. What would I need to make it so the cable goes to both the cable box and the modem? I've found cable splitters, but people are saying that if the cable lengths aren't the same, there will be signal degradation. What are my other options?
How does one go about overclocking a CPU? I hear people vastly improving there CPUs with it but I am at a loss as to how one goes about it.

What kind of CPU do you have?

Yesterday, I was doing some work on Windows for a few hours and had to shut down for dinner. So I shut everything down and once I was back I turned it back on.... Before I shut it down, I had cleaned up the desktop and a few other things. I noticed, my desktop was back to how it was before restarting and a few files were missing here and there.
I then didnt think anything of it and continued my work and rebooted into OSX and did some more work last night and everything was fine. This morning, I booted into OSX and I noticed my email inbox was completely empty and it was downloading all my emails as if it was my first time using Mail. I have also noticed a few missing files that I absolutely never deleted...
What the hell is going on? No one is messing with me because I have a password on both partitions and my laptop never really leaves my sight...
[editline]24th January 2014[/editline]
PS: I have read up that people have had their machines go laggy on OSX where the dock goes all laggy and everything freeze up and then files go missing, this happened twice last night when I was on OSX.
Is a 500W OCZ Modstream Pro enough for this build?

Looking to replace my Cooler Master Hyper 212 (non evo) with a Corsair H100i, I have no experience with water cooling and it says "Self-contained Cooling System
Hydro Series H100i comes pre-filled, and never needs refilling or priming."
So does this mean I don't have to change water and shit?

Yup, the liquid lasts as long as it's stated it's meant to on the box, which is about 7 years.
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;43657013]Anyone can help me out?
The fiber enters our house and goes into a Genexis Fiber port X something which splits it into two phones and four RJ45 connectors. It only acts as a modem and every device plugged into it gets a seperate IP. When settings up a Linksys WRT54G running DD-WRT v24 it works perfectly and acts as a DHCP server and everything. Then as soon as i connect it's internet port to one of the modem's port, everything fucks up, and everyone connected to it gets a WAN IP again, gateway is set to some external IP too, instead of a 192.168.1.* IP like it should[/QUOTE]
And i'm also looking for an 802.11n router, preferably atleast 4 gigabit ports too.
The A key in my ASUS laptop has become really loose, meaning that during normal usage the keycap on top of the switch pops off. Since having to force the keycap back to the place multiple times when typing becomes irritating really fast, I've been wondering if there is a way to make the keycap stick better other than replacing the keyboard.
I made a post earlier in the CIPWTTKT thread, but I didn't get any response, perhaps I'll have more luck in this thread.
I'm currently trying to unravel the mysteries of manual subnetting (I.E, without a subnet calculator), so I made a thing.

Have I done it right? Is my mathematical and binary thinking accurate? If the results are correct, I'm relatively certain they should be.
There's no binary there why would I bother calculating it again for you to check if it's right? Put your values in a calculator and compare you lazy bum.
Also it's not "Default Gateway", it's only the first host. Yes it is commonly used as Default Gateway, but that doesn't make the first host IP the default gateway...

Very true, but yes, that's why I marked it as DG.
And, yes, according to the calculators the values themselves are correct, the question is whether or not the subnetting in itself is correct. I'm simply making sure.

I dont understand, if the values are correct how can it not be correct? The only thing I could check here are your binary numbers, and those aren't there.

I'd recommend something that'll run OpenWRT. I use a TP-Link WR1043ND and the only downside is the lack of 5GHz, but it has 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n, 4 gigabit ports and obviously a gigabit WAN port. Runs OpenWRT comfortably.

You know, in the way of how I used the range from 10.24.46.0 to 10.24.48.0 . As I said, I'm simply trying to make sure with someone who actually knows their stuff, I'm currently in this very anti-climatic state in which I'm fairly certain I've gotten the hang of something, while still not being entirely sure.
But you are entirely correct, I haven't provided enough information of how I think.

Just out of curiosity, why did you choose to use a 10. address for everything?
[QUOTE=Adamhully;43679105]Just out of curiosity, why did you choose to use a 10. address for everything?[/QUOTE]
Not sure, to be perfectly honest
[QUOTE=Rixxz2;43679986]Not sure, to be perfectly honest[/QUOTE]
I don't know a whole bunch about network classes, but as far as I know the 10.X.X.X network is a class A network (Where as 192.168.X.X is a class C network.). The class A network allows for a massive amount of hosts, up to 16,777,214 in fact. The class C just 254. So If you need up to 254 hosts use a class C network (192.168.0), any more and you can use a class B network which supports 65,534 hosts if need be. The address for a class B private network is 172.16.0.0, the last 2 octets can be used for hosts.
Have a fiddle around with this and see if you can understand how the classes affect everything. [url]http://www.subnet-calculator.com/subnet.php?net_class=C[/url]
If my processor died together with the motherboard, is there a great chance that the rest died with it?

Yes, but it's still not certain.
Hard drives are probably fine, video card and RAM are more likely to be damaged. It depends a lot on how exactly everything fried.

One of those resistor-thingis next to the ram blew one of those black squares, and smoke came out.
My computer heats up pretty high (or rather higher than I'd like, 75C+) when playing demanding games. It has something to do with the cooling of the case. When I take the side panel off it drops about 10C. Would installing new fans (1 front intake, 2 exhaust-1 top, 1 back) cool it down further? The 2 stock fans, or rather the fans the PC came with, I know nothing about.2
Specifically my GPU hits the 70s, CPU and Mobo stay around mid-high 60s very rarely do they hit 70.
Using this case

Let me introduce you to this new concept called VLSM. It means there are no classes anymore :O
