I've decided to build my own, so I can get all the components that I'm after. https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/dGRq34 This is a rough list of what I'm going for. Happy to take suggestions of different motherboards or power supplies though. Both of those will require about a 2 week shipping that...

So I've been looking at three computers that I think will do the job, and I'm not sure if they are a) worth the cost, and b) which one of them is the better value. I know I could probably save some money by making it myself, I'm not sure how much I could actually shave off though. The three I'm...

Wow thank you! I'll check that all out. Maybe I'll be building my own after all!

This was the details they had for the BPC Tech one at the actual convention. I think the mobo is an NZXT N5 Z690. I had a bit of a look about it online and it's definitely budget, but it seemed to do the job.

Hey guys! I was looking at just buying a prebuilt computer, and these are the two I was looking at. The Scorptec one was the cheapest I could find with a 3080 and a 12th gen Core i7. But then I stumbled across the BPC Tech one, and it seems too good to be true. I'm happy to upgrade the RAM...

Hey guys! I'm renting a house, and my aerial port is in another room, far away from where we have set up the lounge room/TV. I was wondering if there is any sort of transmitter I can set up to the aerial port, that I can wirelessly connect to my TV? Or am I going to have to find a 20m cable to...

This is what my disc management looks like when I go in to it for the first time. Disc 0 is showing up as Unknown and Not Initialized.

I decided to get a new SSD for storage today, and I wanted to get something I could use in a new build eventually. I decided to go with the 970 Evo Plus and I also got an orico nvme/pci-e x16 adaptor. I have an Asus z87-pro mobo. I have updated my bios, tried installing the adaptor in to both...

So I was looking for a good, silent mechanical keyboard. I was tossing up between he Corsair Strafe RGB silent, and the Razor Blackwidow Ultimate Silent. I'm open to other choices as well, but probably the most important is the sound of the keys without it feeling too spongey. I've currently got...

I thought that might be the case. Oh well, I guess I'll top mount then. I was told to go for positive pressure. Is that still true?

I was looking at front mounting my H100i in a new Fractal Arc XL case. I haven't bought the case yet, because I'm not sure if it will fit that way. I'm going to have it as push/pull, but I'm not sure that the tubes will be long enough to allow it to mount on the front of the case. Would anyone...

So in an effort to make the case a positive environment, I'd probably have the bottom fan be 140mm and all the other fans be 120mm. Is that right? Or am I missing something. Cooling is something relatively new to me.

Hey all, I was thinking about getting a Fractal Arc XL and was wondering if front mounting my h100i and having it set up with push/pull would be a good idea? I'd have a bottom 140mm fan as well as a back 140mm and possibly two top 140mm. The other option is to top mount the h100i as an exhaust...

I was looking at getting a Fractal Design Arc XL case, which should easily allow me to top mount the h100i cooler. Plus it's a decent sized case (it doesn't need to be small, I have plenty of room), and seems to allow for a front radiator. My issue now is that I don't know how to set up the...

I'm thinking about changing my case, as the one I have is pretty small and has a really irritating front door (Thermaltake Urban S41), and I was looking at some different cooling options. Is there a way to pull air in to the case through a radiator so that the air going in to the case is...
