I love my Ikea Fredde (https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/fredde-gaming-desk-black-50219044/) It's super robust and has bags of room for me to work/play/hobby. You'd struggle to fit three 28" on it, though.

Yeah, JMS wrote the role for Koenig. Nobody else auditioned and he was so perfect for it.

A sad loss. For me (and probably @Boredguy and @BKGarry), he'll be remembered as Alfred Bester, Babylon 5's iconic Psy Cop Villain.

That's an awesome tank line-up!

Thoroughly enjoying this. Feels like a Lovecraftian tale despite being fairly grounded.

That is super cool!

Ha! I might get asked why I'm ordering random RTX Cards when we already have some bonkers cards that are so powerful they come with export controls!

There's some genuinely brilliant stuff up for grabs. But sadly, Rand's Heron-marked sword is already at £5.5k, with nearly two weeks still to go!

I'm interested to see what happens with this. By all accounts, it's a full reboot, though. No reference to the SG1 Universe, which is a real shame.

We can't do the migration for you, but we've got the best range of servers in the business! Given the frankly insane prices of new kit, we're seeing dozens of schools buying two or three rack servers from us and taking a five-year warranty. Happy to chat through some hardware options if you want? We've got everything from standard 1U racks to high-performance computing beasts with up to 8 NVIDIA Machine Learning GPUs.

I lost a significant portion of my weekend to Stellaris - again! I should know better. I just popped it on for the first time in a year or so, "just to see how the recent updates were affecting things." Before I knew it, I had tweaked my xenophile human faction and set my science ship exploring the local neighbourhood. 23 hours and two crises later, humanity is a psychic hive-mind and both the galaxy's protector for fighting off the emergence of The Contingency, and its greatest threat, as my experiments with the psychic sub-dimension threaten the invasion of extraplanar entities! Marvellous! I think it might be my favourite strategy game of all time.

See, I LOVE the remake! It played flawlessly for me. It looks like the game I imagined I was playing when I first put the disc in the OG Xbox and played through the campaign on a 14" CRT into the wee hours of Christmas night more than two decades ago! It tweaked the mechanics in sensible ways, kept most things the same, and the changes made to the levels were sensible. Would I have liked a multiplayer option aside from co-op? Yes, but I'll wait for the remake of Halo 2 for that. It was always the better multiplayer option.

Did they not already release a remaster for this? Or a hefty graphics update at least.

Thanks! Sounds like you're long overdue for a natter with us

Nice! Glad you've found some more inspiration to get started!

Cannot wait for this one!

I'd imagine the 7th-gen Intel laptop chips in the 260 G3 minis would be feeling pretty sluggish by now. They're drastically underpowered as desktop chips, and this model won't have received a BIOS update for the 2023 Secure Boot certs, whereas one was released for the 400 G5 in March, I think. It's worth checking to see if that needs doing on the G5's.

Is it a particular model or across several? I'll ask our engineers if we've come across anything.

You absoutely have to be sure. We've had a few slip through the cracks, but we maintain links with the original orgs for just this situation. In all cases, we've been able to get them removed from their OG org in a few hours

We got 10th-gen iPads coming up too! You're always better off looking at our stock list for current prices and availability https://ict-direct.co.uk/stock-list/

+1 for kenable for your cable needs they're brilliant! We should be able to help you with the majority of things, beyond our usual refurbished offering. Speaking of refurb, we should be miles better than the likes of Bentham in terms of quality, consistency of stock, price and after sales support.

Not Warhammer-based, but miniature-based, at least. I'm about to start a 1st Tech D&D campaign and have been getting some minis printed and painted for the characters and the odd encounter. Here's the party and their first fight.

We are very much your people! Drop me a DM and let me know how many you're after

That is a shame! If you still feel the temptation to make them, there's a host of decent Blood Raven style components on Cults3d you can download and print yourself. Shoulder pads, heads, weapons, icons ect. Stuff to give the vanilla marines some real character

Now listen 'ere! THAT is the Emperor's Toilet Brush, a relic of the UTMOST importance, and don't you dare forget it!
