A BIOS setting was preventing restart - really silly of me not to load defaults when receiving any electronic goods. The USB 2.0 is still active after shutdown, a little concerned the board doesn't 'natively' support this

Thanks I will give this a try tonight and update the thread with the results.

My ITX can boot fine from a shutdown. However if I prompt a restart, the machine shuts down then does a power cycle continuously - The GPU lights up and the CPU fan starts for around 5-10 seconds then shuts down and repeats. If I force shutdown during this (hold power for 7 seconds), then start...

It is a Corsair CX600M. To be honest I found the Fractal Nano 202 in the black friday sales for £50 and couldn't resist. There were also some budget SFX 450W PSUs on Overclockers which I'll keep an ear on for coil whine. Thanks for the help - You made me change the search for an SFX. I'll keep...

Hey thanks for your reply. I had a look at that before, meets most of my requirements - The GPU is okay as most SilverStone ITX cases support the 680s dimensions. The main issue is the PSU - My PSU is fairly new and a half-decent SFX costs an arm and a leg :'( If the cases really don't support...

I'm looking for a small form factor ITX case similar to the dimensions found in the Slim HRPC/Desktop SilverStone range (30cm x 10cm x 40cm). The problem is some cases either support a 13" GPU or a mATX PSU up to 14cm. My target is to recycle my current mATX PSU (15cm depth) and GTX 680. I have...

My third build targets a mini itx form factor pc with a mounted GTX 680. I would like cases similar to the dimensions of the SilverStone Fortress SST-FTZ01 with the option to mount a ATX factor GPU. However my budget is under half the price (~£30-40) for a case. The cases listed here are all out...

Ah I posted in the wrong forum! My bad i'm a bit of a toms noob

Hi, I've been lucky enough to pick up two 280x from work. I am attempting to connect them to my motherboard in this case: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/cit-vantage-pc-case-black-a85ky?ranMID=40341&ranEAID=TnL5HPStwNw&ranSiteID=TnL5HPStwNw-d5cfw3dA6AlqGUqAwrN2_Q& There is a back panel (blue thing)...

I was set on buying the S24D390HL until I noticed the warranty is only 1 year! Anyone know any PLS monitors up to about £125 they'd recommend?

I assume looking at samsung and BenQ is therefore a safer bet for model consistentcy

sure sounds similar to the smart phone market and OEMs. Suzuki would u recommend looking at PLS when it comes to 60 Hz over the TN BenQ?

Hmm thats interesting so anyone know whos the supplier of BenQ models? So in this case I'll be looking primarily at brand reputation and resolution for low range 60 Hz monitors? So would you recommend in this case to take on the PLS over the BenQ TN monitor?

also can you link me to your monitor :)

what is your GTG response time on that acer? One of my concerns is one samsung doesn't specify GTG so it may be a minimum measured response time rather than a measurement set by a standard. Before your purchase did you explore other TN monitors? Also is there actually any noticable difference...
