How they recreated Omaha on the cheap

With 3 guys and a car! Fascinating vid of how the BBC filmed the documentary footage for the Omaha story that Hampster presented the other day. If you didnt see it, it was looking at the true story of the Omaha landings, some food for thought and some clearly thought provoking TV.

You’ll need to install it first, its worth it.

Oh sooooo quiet! - Case fan review.

As many of you know, I had to replace the power supply in my media server some time back. It went from a lovely quiet server to a spitfire wannabe. Now that the thing sits just 2 feet away from me I thought I’d get a nice quiet (and cheap) replacement. While ordering it I came across a review of some 80mm case fans that were meant to be quiet. In a fit of madness (they are between £3.40 and £3.99 EACH) I thought what the hell and bought 3.

AKASA 80mm Amber series 3 pin Ultra quiet

Oh my, they make a HUGE difference! I never realised how loud case fans were until I put these babies in. They are completely silent! The noisiest thing in my media server now is the CPU fan!

I had 1 left over so I swapped the top vent fan in my main machine. It’s made a huge difference only changing 1 of the 4 case fans. Next order from Scan or Ebuyer and I’m gonna get me another 3 of these.

My review gives these 9/10 - It would be 10/10 but for the price.

Cheaper on Scan …. linkyloo

But if you’re buying from ebuyer already…. linkyloo2

Each are supplied with screws and cable converters/doublers (and I should coco for the price).
