Hi guys, I am looking for a PSU for my first PC build. My main components will be a FX 8320 and a HD 7970, but i want to be able to add another GPU. I live in Australia so parts are expensive. Can you reccomend any cheap-ish good PSUs?

R9 270X was what I was going for originally, at $219-300. R9 280X $329, 280 $249 on special, 7970 im not sure. I thought the 7950 on ebay was good as its a buy it now for $180, but its an old card i know. Do you think its worth it? I have a budget of $220 for the GPU and it would be nice to save...

Hi guys, I found a Mac Pro (2006-2008 ish) on eBay for $500 AUD. It has 8GB RAM, 2x Dual Core Xeon E5160 @ 3.0 GHz (so 4 cores in total), an ATI Radeon x1900 512MB GPU, and a 320GB HD. I was going to build a gaming pc for $970 ish (FX-6300, R9 270X, 8GB RAM etc), but i saw this. I have always...

Hi guys, I bought an ALDI Maginon "Action Video Camera" (from Australia) and its ok, claims to shoot 720p but its pretty grainy. Anyway it has a mic but in order to really use the camera (for a helmet mount) you have to put it in a "waterproof housing". It may be waterproof, but its also...

Macs have built in python support as of Terminal, but Linux has piles of stuff, as does Windows. If it's the programming only, and you dont want a super powerful computer, you could get a Raspberry Pi. Its not fast or easy, but it only cost me $50 AUD.

Wouldnt it be on the bottom of the router? Thats where all of the routers ive seen have them.

Its a wired only modem as far as i can see. Turn on your computer and modem, grab a cat5/cat6 cable and plug it in to the ethernet port. On your mac the symbol may look like this: <---> Plug the other end into the yellow modem port, which should be the same. On your mac open the system...

Sounds like the battery is flat and the machine is sleeping. Have you checked that :P

Hi i bought a fake ps3 controller and my macbook (snow leopard) doesnt detect it via bluetooth. I have tried resetting controller etc but it still doesnt pop up under bluetooth. Is there something ive forgotten? Or can i use the controller as wired? Thanks for any help.

I dont have pesonal experience with that but have you tried acessing it on another mac eg yours or a friends machine. Was the music bought on iTunes with an Apple ID? If so you can download it onto another apple product. If you have another macbook you could try putting the hdd in that...

Yes the 2.0GHz MBP will do the job although not as well as the other. You could look at second hand as well, like an imac. Dont be fooled that second hand is bad, i have a 2007 macbook bought second hand in 2009 and it is very powerful. They are some things to consider. Personally i would go...
