Bump for some information. I recently cleared 1gb of space of my C drive, so was rocking a whole 1.17gb of free space. Less than 24 hours later I'm down to 200mb of free space having installed nothing. :/ How big should W7 be?

It is very similar to that, except with a BNC, you get can the last x lines of chat from each channel as you join. E.G: We have that on Rizon too. [16:09:26] <Smack[Away]> whoami [16:09:28] <RizonIRPG> You are Smack, the level 46 Jew Merchant. Next level in 4 days, 00:53:57 Edit...

Sorry to bump, but just wanted to add that I assume M4TT was talking about IRC bouncers, whereby you're always on IRC, but you're not always actually logged into your bouncer (BNC). BNC's keep you identified, and in all channels you wish, and you can connect straight to them, so you don't have...

Wow, thank you for the detailed post. It's great to read stuff like that. Just to clarify, by curious I didn't mean I was planning on doing it after you suggested not to. I was just genuinely interested into the reasoning of why not. So thank you for the post. I actually did use CCleaner a while...

Thanks for the post! I'll have a look through your previous posts about registry cleaners since I'm curious. Other than that, is SUPERAntiSpyware the same or similar to Spybot Search & Destroy? From my, incredibly knowledgeable position, it seems that SuperAntiSpyware does a decent amount more...

So I started a full scan of my computer as advised in a different thread, and it just got me wondering as to how many different programs do we really need to protect our computers? I currently use MSE, and it appears to be working fine. I also just downloaded Malwarebyte and SpyBot to run a scan...

Already turned system restore off. Shall change page file to one of the HDD drives. How do I delete existing pagefile on my C drive? Edit: Ran MSE / MBAM / Spybot and gained 300mb on my C drive.

Aye. Then I went back and set up a page file on my 120gb SSD, which has plenty of space, but I'm still finding my space being eaten up without installing anything. Uninstalled a few things today. Skype / Adobe for instance, and installed them onto a different drive. Had 500mb free this morning...

Well, I wasn't really sure where to put my question, as it isn't really a traditional problem, but this seemed like the best place. I currently have a 32gb SSD, 120gb SSD, and 1 TB HDD split into 2 500GB drives. Now my 32gb SSD is set up as my C drive. My plan was to simply use it for Windows...

Thanks to Kmote for the help, but I found this computer for £575, and I'll be picking it up this weekend. It's 6 months old, and barely used. I'll sell the 120GB SSD, and purchase myself a 500GB to 1TB HDD in it's place.

Eugh. I'll just have to wait for someone to make a suggested build from eBuyer for under £500 then, since I don't know enough to cut costs down to something reasonable. I can up my budget, but is it worth the increase in money, unless £500 can't cover what I want?

I've not followed computer technology for over a year or two, and I just heard about Ivy Bridge today as I was checking eBuyer / Aria. Is this i5-3570k worth the extra £15 over this i5-2500k. I know that the 3.4Ghz over 3.3Ghz isn't the be all and end all of what makes a good CPU, but that's...

Double post, apologies. Is a bundle like this worth it? It leaves £130 for a power supply, case, and a graphics card. Is that enough for those 3 items? Ignore the Operating System. I've got that covered and isn't needed within the £500 budget now.

I assumed I would, but better to make sure.

So my laptop is getting to the point where it's overheating too much to play anything. Even with a laptop stand with 3 fans on it, it's over heating and turning off. Therefore, I need to replace it with a desktop, though I'll probably keep the laptop just for Skype / IRC at the same time. I...
