Over the past 3-4 weeks I have accumulated various hardware in order to resolve computer issues and/or rebuild in my current case. This has been to no avail and I am left with items I will list later. With major house works going on I don't have the time or inclination to RMA motherboards/processors just in case they are at fault - basically I have stripped out the case apart from a hard drive and graphics cards because of a problem that couldn't be resolved and rebuilt with mobo, processor, power supply and ram....unfortunately it crashed after a day and now all I have is two fans spinning and bugger all else. I was flying last week on the original build so graphics/sound cards and some stuff is obviously fine. I would like to buy a new computer and get a nice long warranty. Items for sale are: Case 2 x Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX graphics cards Windows7 oem single licence - new last week Original build - January 2008 Asus P5N-T Deluxe Socket 775 motherboard (replacement board fitted under warranty last year) Asus Silent Knight II Socket 775 cpu cooler 500gb Raptor HD, 10,000 rpm - has new install of Windows7 but would probably need reformatting 850 watt power unit for SLI 4gb DDR2 6800 Crucial ram - 6 months old 8gb DDR2 1333mhz Crucial ram - 2 weeks old LG CD rom optical drive Creative soundcard Rebuild - new stuff bought last week Asus P6X58D-E LGA1366 motherboard - new Intel i7 960 LGA1366 quad core processor and cooling fan - new Corsair TX950 power unit for SLI or TriSLI - new 6gb 1600mhz Crucial ram - new LG DVD rom RW etc LG DVD rom RW etc optical drive - new I am sure that there is enough bits there for someone to build a running rig. I would prefer to sell all in one go rather than split so, to take into account age of some components, the newness of others and the possibility of one of the boards or the processor being faulty I will sell for £600 all in. If interested please PM me for further details or to negotiate. Cheerzen Edited asking price

Thanks Pook, that's just what I wanted to hear. I'm looking at a similar processor and 6gb of Corsair 10666 running at 1333 hz.

Edited..... should do now

My current mobo, an Asus P5N-T Deluxe , is giving me issues so I want to replace it. I would like a Socket 775 as I could keep the recently aquired quad core Q9650 that won't work in the Deluxe and would like to keep as many current internals if possible. However if necessary I will sell the Q9650 to get a more modern board/processor if required. There are many boards out there....does anyone have any advice as to reliability? I have had 2 Asus boards in 3 years, this one and a Striker Extreme. I have no interest in over clocking. Edit: Looking at this, an Asus P6X58D-E Cheerzen

Happy Birthday mate! Have a good 'un....... Cheerzen

Welcome Condor. Sit up and enjoy! Cheerzen

Good luck Pappy, I am VERY pleased for you

Should be ok but as with anything out of it's service regime it becomes potentially unreliable. Having said that, a service for a CO2 is a weighing........not a lot else to do with it. A lot of people buy fire extinguishers for home and car use and they don't get serviced although it is recommended to replace it after a specified period of years. Don't know what that period is for a CO2 because they can't be bought for domestic use, home ones usually contain powder. Cheerzen

Happy birthday gents! Have a good'un.... Cheerzen

you do that day in day out m8

Lol, Redditch firehouse has a very active social calendar and usually hosts a 'beach party' themed event in the summer that is held in the garage where the pumping appliances are parked. The murals? go over the windows and give some beachy atmosphere....... Nice piccies Painless....thanks for sharing

Heads up......interesting and moving article . Short description of air combat is chilling.....

Thanks JP, good photos. I am in awe of that location. Your method of indicating the glider landing locations made me chuckle... 'This shows where glider number 3 landed (you can see it at the point of Sid's head. Just past that is where Glider 2 landed...look just to the right of Howard's bust...at Sid's eye level and you just might make out the 3rd marker)' sums me up perhaps....level-headed?

A great find mate...... Cheerzen

I've seen a way to do the camo that I want to try. Paint the upper surfaces in the darker 'swirl' colour first. Then get some 'BluTac', roll it into thin lines and place it over the dark colour in the areas you want the swirls to end up. Spray the lighter base colour all over and then take off the BluTac. Hey presto, swirl camo with a spray on effect.......

This is my next project, a 1/32 scale Me262 B1a Hopefully it will end up something like this. I'm using here for reference too.

Similar types to previous ones, but with some extra ones.... Part 1 Spittie Bouchon Mustangs..yellow nosed one looks superb Sea Fury Skyraider Bearcat Cheerzen Part 2 I-16 Yak 3 JP Lysander Gladiator Hawker Nimrod, complete with starter truck Cheerzen

'kin 'ell Snacko...that's the best photo I've got of me EVER.....cheers mate!!!! Sid

Almost 14:00, time to move out......should be there about 17:00. See you soon!!!

Cheers. Not a Spittie mate, it's a MiG 3....still beautiful though, it's got great lines...looks like a racer. It's this one....

No need for an enlargement of my 110s destruction Rattler........I know it's mine even in the dark lol

Hey!!! I resemble that remark!! As said, the more the merrier! Would be great to see you there also!!!

A good selection of footage, I'm an old git and have no appreciation of the music genre whatsoever.....although it's inclusion looks like the way IL2 vids are done generally. The vid gave a great impression of BoB action. Lots of bombers, Spits and Hurris doing the job, Channel scenery. Never seen the action at 1:15 before, a pilot struggling to open his canopy in order to get out of his stricken aircraft. Also the He111 gunner being strafed and the 'gore' internally. Wow.... A great effort and a great summary of our event Cheerzen

Nope, he climbed rapidly and turned away, running parallel to the field about half a mile out before disappearing
