Indeed.

Mine was £400, including technodicks, on prime day, so presumably black Friday will throw up something similar.

Mine was free.

MrsA, Gork and Mork are away. Old Man Afterthought came up last night and we had beers annacurry. This morning it was waffles and bacon for breakfast, and we sorted the garage out and i burnt furniture for seven hours after smashing it with a hatchet. He's gone back Kernow now (7 hour trip) and I am having a beer (hipster lager from Cloudwater) and reading a book in the micropub. Today has been good. I miss this.

Read this in The Chive in an article called “People tell their biggest intercourse NO-NO’s ” and can’t stop laughing.

“Back when I was younger I met this girl who was kind of kinky. All prior sexual endeavors were fairly vanilla. One night she busts out the anal beads and has me pop them in while I’m doing her from behind. After a while, she gets close to cumming and asks me to pull them out. I’m like “ok!” and yank on them like I’m pull starting a lawn mower. The sound of an asshole slamming shut 10 times in less than a second is truly incredible. It sounded like someone stepping on bubble wrap. She did not appreciate this.“

There's a compatibility tool too. I just ran it on mine out of curiosity and mine fails on the graphics card, which wasn't a great surprise, as I only have a GT 730.


Failed on the graphics card too. Is it easy enough to get a new one and then install it yourself if you're a fucking moron, like me? Does it involve any soldering iron sheeeeet?

Didn't you spend big bucks on a new rig not too long ago? What card do you have now?

Swapping a new one is pretty easy for non morons. Unless your case is tight fit and you accidentally buy a huge card. You should show us the inside of your rig. LEDs please.

Generally easy, but with potential problems (not enough room, drivers don't install well, motherboard doesn't support the card...
