    Capture card

    I want a video capture card so that i can run the hdmi source from tv box into my pc and watch tv on second monitor. I only need basic video input and will not even need to record so i don't really want to spend mega bucks on the Elgato card! Any ideas?

It narrows the search but ideally i want...

    M.2 compatibility help?

    Thanks for the advice guys, excellent tips and i have a much better understanding of what i'm looking for now. The only thing left bugging me is the disapproval of AM3(Mainly because it means i will also have to replace my Nepton 280L £££). What are the benefits of AM4? Why is it so much...

    M.2 compatibility help?

    I've just heard about M.2 slots for SSDs and its blown my mind, Firstly the speeds and then the amount of different form factors they come in. The prices seem to have fallen to a reasonable level now. I'm looking at the Samsung 960 EVO M.2-2280 250GB. My question is, what motherboards would be...

    What do i need to look for in a case?

    I like the way the Z11 looks, and my system is down by my left shin so I think USB ports on top would be ideal however... While the Fractal Design R4 looks about as interesting as a fart, Its really well made and the silent design would probably do me a favour! I'll have to sell some stuff to...

    What do i need to look for in a case?

    Thanks, i'll look into these 2 cases now! ...But why skip the Z11? Is it because you dont like the styling as much a me? I havn't got round to that side of things yet, but thanks for pointing it out! What would you suggest? Earthwatts 650 any good?
