    Old spare computer broke. Need new processor

    So I took the 4 ram sticks out of my old (very old) backup computer, put them back, and it never booted again. I've since tried each stick individually in each of the 4 slots, but to no avail. I think I fried the motherboard somehow? Luckily I have a spare motherboard and ram, but it's AMD and...

    Graphics Card Advice (Budget R3300)

    That time of the decade again that I can somewhat afford a PC upgrade. I'm currently running a Powercolor Radeon HD5770, but feel it's time to move on. I have R 3300 (max, that includes postage costs) to spend but, as always, anxious I might make a bad decision. What I have on the drawing...

    Total War: Rome 2 Pre-Orders

    Am looking to pre-order this to get the free Greek nations DLC, but BTGames has it listed for R 600 which is a bit steep for a PC game imo. I see it is a Steam digital purchase though, which explains it, but I'm looking for a physical copy. Anyone know of any other places to get it from? R 370...

    Open FNB account and get Macbook Pro MD101, pay x24 no interest. Worth it?

    I'm thinking of picking this up since I do need a laptop, but as it is an arse load of money, I'd like to get some opinions on it first. R527 x 24 they said, no interest. That comes to 12 grand. I want to play Guild Wars 2 on it, but dunno if it can handle that: Intel Dual Core i5 500GB Hard...

    Is this a good deal? Second hand graphics card

    My mate wants to sell me his old graphics card, but would like to hear some outside opinions on how good a deal it is- seeing as it's quite a bit of money. Bought it, cheers

    Need help with a slight upgrade

    So I bought myself a decent rig recently and having loved it so far, I want more ram. A lot of it, I mean, why not? Would I be able to upgrade from my 4gb ram to say around 16gb, with the proper motherboard? I see on Sybaretic you can get 16gb DDR3 1600 for around R1100. No idea what...

    Aliens vs Predator 1999

    I am a hardcore fan of Alien, and Predator since I was tiny (Talking since like age 7) and one sunny hot day I went over to shop with my mum and there it was. Aliens vs Predator demo on PC Format. Shat a brick, and begged my mum to buy it for me- was a cool R19 back then. Making a long story...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    How do you think it will be? Seeing as the game director worked on Dark Age of Camelot I'm well excited. Keeping an open mind though, it does worry me thinking back to how KoTOR was turned into an mmo and wasn't as good as people thought it would be. They are using the same Hero3 engine as...

    Forced to work overtime without pay. Can anything be done about it?

    Basically as the title says. I'm being forced to work overtime almost every night without pay. Can anything be done about it because it's starting to make me go insane. Like now it's 5:31, should have knocked off at 5 sharp but not allowed to leave. If I do they will repremand me, and perhaps...

    DVD Rom is starting to give me trouble. Anything I can do?

    It's a Samsung dvdrom I bought around a year and a half ago and it's starting to have trouble reading disks. It would either not read the dvd, or it would stop reading it half way of installation/the movie etc. Is there anything I can do to fix it, without having to spend cash right now?

    Personalised Number Plates

    Do you have one? What does it say? Or what would it say if you would get one? Been seeing lot's of these since I've moved to Gauteng, and dunno, personally I'd put one of my favourite bands on mine. Tyr perhaps. I don't really feel like being witty on my number plate :P One I saw that made me...

    Guitar Hero Metallica - Where can I get one for PS3?

    I've looked for ages and the only one I could find online was R1400 which is a tad expensive imo. Anyone know of any place I can get my hands on it? If not online, I'm in PTA or PE. I'm looking for the bundle that includes the guitar controller.

    Gaming Monitor for R3000

    Sorry to make another topic about this but I need some suggestions and soon. Want to go monitor shopping this Saturday but no idea really what to get. Was thinking of the Samsung BX2450 though (trying for LED), but any other suggestions? Mainly for PS3 and 360 gaming, and also PC use I suppose...
