Maf Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I was wondering what to do with my old PC, but since 30 series just got an extra life I might see if I can do the mod in mine and hook it up to my TV. Some PC games I would like to play on TV and it would be better than having to move a PC back and forth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one I was considering for an upgrade on my brother's PC though) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 ^ thanks for the heads up, ive sort of been keeping an eye on them think they were a little cheaper last week, cant remember how much though, and the 5700X3D just came out which is cheaper and looks pretty good too. I am tempted but keep spending money on other stuff, need to save for a few months i think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Damn. The Alienware UW monitor is £660 IF you can get a NHS discount code https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/alienware-34-curved-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw3423dwf-4314520 So you need to know someone who works for the NHS so they can apply for the code. Even without, the monitor is £740. Which still not bad. Anyone know a nurse? But not for the usual reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 That is the monitor where I keep reading stories about people getting burn in within a year. There's also some not very impressive things being said ITT about Dell's 3 year warranty https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/1bu4neb/who_has_oled_burnin_bring_forward_your_story/ Not sure I would touch these newly released ones either.
