So many pages, so little time to look through them all. Anyone found a decent GTX 970 on offer? Edited by L3OUGH

Amazon had the 850 Evo 2TB for £439.20 a while ago if you really wanted to push the boat out!

 

Funny how in a few years time we'll be saying "£440 was cheap for a 2TB SSD?!"

Acer Revo One RL85 Nettop - Nettop PC's at Ebuyer

 

This is a very good deal guys. Same kind of deal I had this morning but this is the 2TB version. Good if you're looking for a HTPC as it comes with a remote control with a keyboard and mouse trackpad built into the remote control. I'm personally using mine as a Home Server / NAS.

 

£159.99 and it's no bigger than a pint glass :)

 

Can't get excited about that tbh. The Android TV box that I got from ebay for just £30 does all I might need, uses considerably less power and has a very useful Kodi build on it :)

Just phone my housemate, he is now under instruction to buy me one of these in an hour, from whichever retailer is cheaper :p

Scan have a 750 watt EVGA SuperNOVA G2 PSU for £64.99 (was £92.99). That's a much better deal IMO.

Nah, that's a bit too rich for me! £102 for 500GB is plenty for me! Especially as I'll be moving from a 128GB to this.

But for a NAS or home Plex server I think it's a good deal :) This could also serve live TV to clients around the house with a useful DVB dongle.... Now are you all sure you don't need one!!! ;)

I bought an older one of those remotes to use with my HTPC; never managed to get it working - must try again, though it now accepts "launch Plex", up/down, left/right, "enter" and "escape" from my TV remote and I don't often find I need anything else and have other options (wireless kb & mouse or bluetooth iTablet device) when I do.

Good idea. I'd opt for the Fire TV Stick though and side load Kodi onto that as it's a couple of quid cheaper today than this android box is.

 

I considered that, but it's useful having the SD slot, and a couple of USB ports. Gives it greater expandability and means i can link my externals to it :)

I'm sure! Already have a home-built HTPC (Boot SSD, 3(?)TB HDD with space for another drive or two, DVD player and card reader) in a Silverstone case that fits in with the other AV stuff much better than that white blob.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO im not a prime member :( *sobs in corner*

My housemate is, and due to Amazon's sharing feature, I get to leech off his Prime subscription, so I am too :D

 

Got the PSU ordered, and just ordered the braided cables from SCAN.. All I need now are the spacers to keep them nice and neat. I know they exist, I've seen them before, but I can't bloomin' find them :(

I had it in till they up'd the price and was like nah mate! (mainly due to my payment going out in December not best month) Im more than likely going to get it again in the new year in a month where I don't spend so much! As I do buy a lot of next day delivery
