    I didn't turn put my PC off, when the electricity was included in the rent. Know I've just started turning it off. This little action can have a serious effect on your electricity bill and i recommend to do so.

    Sleep is actually are really good option, if you compare it to people who don't do anything to it. Good choice :beer:

    [greenhighlight]but it matters when the most senior politician in the land is happy to use language and examples that are simply not true.

    The impact of this is to stigmatise people on benefits,
    and we should be deeply worried about that

    Looks good, I can't wait to make mine. I'm gonna make one as opposed to buying since their so damn expensive and heavy, don't have much room available to me and a Compaq 24U cabinet is like 3FT deep lol

    I'm gonna play with setups and have a home CCTV wired up :D

    Heavy is not the word! It weighs a ton, each individual panel was heavy when I had to carry them upstairs, I can hardly shift it an inch when assembled...

    Keeps things ticking over nice and cool, reduces the noise from all the fans to when the door is closed, missus hates it, but I like it :)
