I'll look to upgrade next summer and would be fairly confident of being able to put together a top end rig for 800

Top of the range from 2/3 years ago can be got for less than 100, and will melt the face off any game you throw at it bar some outliers. It was always thus with GFX cards, i remember buying an ATI 9800 back in the day for no other reason than it was newer and shinier than the Nvidia i upgraded from. Hard drives arent much saving 2nd hand, so might as well to buy new, but other than that, CPU's RAM and GPUs are great value used. I bought an i5 desktop off ebay last week just to play new World of Warcraft expansion over Xmas, £220 delivered, 50 more for a Samsung SSD and will probably flog it in April for £250ish.
Defo ready for GTA V PC Master Race edition. Playing Far Cry 3 on my trusty ATI Radeon HD 6850 (which will soon be up for sale on Adverts ) and to be honest it looks great, PC components have such longevity these days as already mentioned. I bought my PC for <€600 from Dell a few years ago (got an amazing deal at the time) and I'm 100% sure I won't be changing anything but the GPU for many a long year.

With the nest you wire it in wherever you have a shitty analogue thermostat in the house that does nothing, then you set your heating to permanently on at the timer and the Nest controls whether or not heat is actually delivered.

I got a new heating system during the summer and this shit is still going on. Had researched the Nest as I think it essentially lets me do the above. The downside to the 'sense when you're home' function is that it can only be tied to one phone, so if I leave the gaf the heat turns off and the wife and kids are freezing. Seems silly.

The one I just got from Adverts is pretty much the same one (slightly older, no real difference in specs, same small form factor) and is smaller than my current Radeon HD 6850. Lots of good small card around these days, they use less power than the older cards as well so double benefit.

Looking for some advice on moving from a student house mid lease.
Basically not too happy with the house I'm in, broken oven, guys aren't the cleanest etc.. it's close to the college but have a better option which is cheaper in terms of rent and better mates with the guys.
I have a deposit of 400e paid but holding off on November's rent while making a decision.
Not 100% sure but I have a copy of the lease which I was meant to get signed by a guarantor but unsure if that's the original or a copy.
How likely is it that a property agent/landlord will pursue you for the rent, should I be fine just to leave etc?

Fountains of Bellagio show every 30 minutes is awesome, Volcano at Mirage (hourly?) and Pirates at TI are good fun as well.
Just wandering in and out of the hotels and gawping is a decent way to spend an afternoon on your first trip.

All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

Downtown is worth a look for the old school seedy look, and the Fremont street zipline is a decent way to pass a few minutes but not unmissable by any stretch. I'm probably one of the worst to give recommendations for Vegas anyhow.

Same question if you make it payable to cash, does your bank ever see where the cheque gets lodged?
