This will split the data into columns based on where the commas are, so you will need to ensure that your data is well formatted to make this value, and so this means that the comma only appears as a separator for instance and if it appears elsewhere it is escaped. ]]> Programming preetisoft2 http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=52579 differences between require and include/ http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=52578&goto=newpost Wed, 22 May 2013 06:30:40 GMT What are the differences between require and include, include_once and require_once?

Sorry for the lack of recent themes, be assured the FPS one will happen but it's going to be in early June.

I had said we would do a race day for the Monaco GP, and in fairness that doesn't need too much preparation on my part so it's a fairly easy one to happen. Instead of the iRacing / Simraceway / F1 games this time though, we'll switch the emphasis to stuff a bit more silly and fun.

This will run for the whole day on Sunday 26th May, event running 10.30am to 9.30pm. Setup from 9.45am. Cost is £5.00. During lunch, we'll watch the live Monaco Grand Prix.

Desk pads are massive mouse surfaces, designed to cover a larger portion of your desk - enough to put your keyboard and mouse on, and still have room left over. They are useful for a selection of circumstances:

1. Double up as an emergency sleeping mat at LAN parties.
2. If the cat sits on your 'usual' mouse spot, you can just move the mouse to another part of the mat, without disturbing the cat.
3. They feel comfy under your wrists.
4. Choose your mousing spot on the left or right side of the keyboard.
5. When one side gets worn out, just turn the mouse mat around to get a whole new surface part to work on.

The lowest cost desk pad we usually have is £18.50, so here's a bargain for you - Aerocool's Strike-X Super Pad with dimensions of 880mm x 330mm x 3mm at just £8.40 inc VAT, while stocks last.

Bargain? Yes. Get them here - http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_31197.html

Specs:
Zotac Ion 1.6GHz Intel Atom
2GB Corsair Memory
Wireless G (Will upgrade to N soon)
120GB S-ATA 2.5" HDD

White Acrylic Case - Apparently Made by "Martin Forrest aka bugeye on bit-tech.net". Nothing to confirm but I just like the case.

I would appreciate it if the moderators could let me know if the above web address is ok, if not it can be removed.

PSU: Help needed. Not sure whether to go fo the 90Watt or the 120Watt bundle in the shop. Its just powering the board and a 2.5" HDD.

Anyway, The images.

If you have one of these cases, this could be a great way to modify it for little money, or alternatively, some of these have some nice acrylic sheets that could used for another case mod (the Silverstone panels particularly) and a source of anodised aluminium that could be used towards custom bay covers or covering internal fixings.

I managed to source a Parvum S1.0 White/Black case for cheap.
So i decided to Move my gear from the Prodigy into it.

The System specs:
i7 3770k
16GB DDR3 Crucial
GigaByte G1.Sniper M3 MATX Motherboard - (got this and the case for £150!)
Adata S511 128GB SSD
2 x 1TB 2.5" HDD
XFX PRO 1KW Platinum
Asus HD7970 DirectCUII

The Cooling:
EK Supreme HF
EK DCII 7970 Block
D5 with Res attachment
Alphacool ST30 240mm rad
Alphacool XT240 240mm rad
4x Bitfenix 120mm fans
3x Coolink 80mm silent fans
3/8" Primochill White tubeing
Alphacool Black fittings

The colors in this build are slightly odd, You got the green on the motherboard which will tie in with the green from the coolink fans nicely.
Then the white tube is to tie into the case
the black barbs match the rad colour and the black on the case
and then the Bitfenix fans are Blue LED ones, They are just to give a nice glow inside the case.

I started this today and i have some pics of the progress.

The Motherboard

The nice silent fans

White Tube

Gigabyte label!

Got some of these, you will see why ;)

How it looks like on my desk vs my 30" hazro and the prodigy

here is why i got those gaskets! I love it when i think ahead, makes a change :P

Here is what i did, i wanted a seal around the fans and the rad so no vibrations would travel into the case

Now that's as far as i have gotten today, I did plan to pull the Prodigy apart today and start transferring it over but i had a problem with the cooling.
At the moment i have a Scythe Server fan controller, i like having the ability that my pc has to ramp up fans depending on temp, unfortunately i cant fit the scythe into this case as there is no drive bay.
Also its LCD has died so i need to replace it.

I managed to source an Alphacool heatmaster which i have been told will do this job and i can just stick it to the inside of my case, So i have that on order along with the second radiators gaskets.
They should be here tomorrow thus this is on hold until then.

In the mean time i will carry on with some uni work :) ]]> Cases / Modding Discussion Phoenixdancer http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=52569 Friends laptop booting issue, power or memory? http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=52568&goto=newpost Wed, 15 May 2013 17:43:29 GMT He said it worked fine till one day then powered on but didnt boot, he said he took it to pc world who flat out told him it was HD, and would cost a new hd, £50 servicing and whatever else needed done.

He said it worked fine till one day then powered on but didnt boot, he said he took it to pc world who flat out told him it was HD, and would cost a new hd, £50 servicing and whatever else needed done.

I tried a spare hd I had and had same issue so it wasnt the hard drive, but noticed at first it booted every single time with hd removed, I noticed with a hd attached I needed to power on, leave it for a minute then hold power button to force power off then power on and it worked every time.

So I reinstalled windows onto a spare hd I had and he used it for a week and it worked until he put a dvd in then since then it almost never works, could be a short somewhere? Bad memory? Not enough power? I know on a old laptop I owned the dvd drive died and stopped the laptop booting so wondered if it was same sort of issue.

After about 20 attempts at powering on got it to boot once then not again, then left it a few hours and again about 20 attempts had 1 boot. ]]> Troubleshooting dekadeka http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=52568 The Saranator!! http://forums.kustompcs.co.uk/showthread.php?t=52567&goto=newpost Tue, 14 May 2013 17:08:57 GMT Anyone put a PC in one of these yet?
