    Can you put the bracket back on? Could sell it on eBay as broken, might still get like £15 or something.

    People can straighten the pins sometimes that works fine.

    No its proper knackered mate and is currently sitting under bags of household waste. Again I'll just chalk this up as a silly goose error and move on.

    I will bow out of this thread now anyway. Due to having to spend an astronomical amount on a double buggy (special needs) and a replacement hoover last week I'm poor and destitute until October so the build will have to be put on ice until then.

    Be sure to clean the coffee grounds and banana skins off it before you send it back though

    @Dirtbox

    What was that game you mentioned in the nms thread. Was it starcade or starbound?

    Yeah no worries I just remember you mentioning a few games and couldn't remember which one. Although starmade looks interesting.

    I did love it for around 10 hours then got a bit sick of the rinse repeat. I dont mind grind if it's interesting but I kind of fell out of love with it quicker than I expected.

    Totally unrelated but I have a really bad urge to play Max Payne 3. Just browsing my steam library and spotted it.

    I didn't have a problem with you disliking the game btw, more with your constant stream of "SEE!!! I TOLD YOU GUYS IT WAS GOING TO BE RUBBISH!! YOU GUYS ARE ALL MORONS FOR THINKING IT'D BE ANY GOOD!!!" posts

    Only cost you £150 more than a pre built machine I guess.
  • Deleted user 28 August 2016 08:05:36
    Well I went £70 over budget with a replacement mobo. That being said I only paid £10 for Windows 10 home.

    Build it yourself they said.
    It's basically like sticking big (and expensive!) Lego together they said.
    What could go wrong they said.

    Glad you got it sorted! October came around quickly in the end.
