I had a vision of streaming from my laptop to my tv…I did it once about 18 months ago. Never done it again.

I have a dedicated Core2Quad box with a GTX750Ti (running EOS, of course) directly wired to my TV. Comes in handy as, even with 300 channels of satellite TV, there usually isn’t anything worth watching on.
I should probably cancel the satellite service and set aside that money. In a couple of months I could probably get a half-decent surround system.

Here you go. You can get exactly what you need and do it yourself. It’s not that difficult.

Cool, thanks. Hopefully, they have the kit I need.
They have just about everything. So hopefully.
Edit: Check out their repair photos before and after!
Edit2: They also do the repairs themselves. So you can have them do it.

Very cool, although I could never own them. My kids would steal them from me!
Oh, and for the record, my kids ALL know who Judas Priest is.(cheeky grin)

One of my kids are already stealing them, one of them was wearing my favourite Ulcerate shirt the other day. The other one isn’t big enough to fit my shirts, anyway he has a massive collection already so he doesn’t need to steal Dad’s 
Your children are obviously cultured human beings.
My boys LOVE Priest.
As are yours. My second-youngest son even has “The Hellion” as the ringtone on his phone.
As I grew up in the 60s and 70s, you can, I’m certain, easily imagine the music they grew up with.

Probably the same music that I grew up with. I am a product of Zep, Purp, Sabbath, Tull, Queen and Floyd. My sons are a product of Metallica, Slayer, Death, Carcass and Darkthrone
Thank you, I like to think that we are men of culture in the Dobbie household.
That’s a great song. Oh man, I want to play it now, right after Painkiller.

How did you know so much of my playlist yesterday (grins)? Today’s will be quieter: Cab Calloway, Aretha, Count Basie and can’t forget Ella or Duke!
An educated guess? 
NEW KEYCAPS (ordered over a month ago…just arrived).
The new sets on the keyboard that was getting switched first.
My sister voted Purple for that keyboard, so purple it was…

It’s amazing how long it takes to get keycaps delivered - in these days of same or next day shipping! Looks nifty - and EnOS worthy too! 
Just got in a new monitor. Z-Edge U29IA, 29" ultrawide (2560x1080) 100Hz. replaced the 16x10 aspect (1920x1200) that I had connected to my docking station. I had considered a 34" instead, but could only find 1 (an MSI) that the specs showed it was small enough to fit in my desk’s area for the monitor.
Got it factory refurbished from Amazon so very good price, although they did forget the screws to connect the stand to the monitor, luckily I live ~2.5 miles from an Ace hardware. M4x16mm x4 for ~$2 and it was good to go.

Three weeks ago I made a terrible mistake.
I bought Assetto Corsa (with all DLC) on Steam for £6. Which, obviously, led to this:
It’s old technology, but it works pretty well. I also “had” to add a magnetic paddle shifter mod (eBay £6), and a spacer to the H-shifter spring (bit of cable) to increase resistance, and a progressive spring (£13 custom) to the brake pedal (which meant I could move the old brake spring to the clutch, and clutch to accelerator) which massively improved control over the pedal input.
But yeah, £6 well spent.

If it is supposed to be old school - why is the shifter not gated? I didn’t expect a mannetino either…
Oh - and where’s the driver’s seat? 
(you know you want it) - especially with accelerometers and…
I bought a pair of LG 32GN600-B monitors. They arrived today, and so far, I’m quite happy with them, especially given that I paid ~$700 for both.
The 32" size is very comfy, and the 2560x1440 resolution is just right for me. The border around the screen is reasonably thin and not distracting for a two monitor configuration. They do take a lot of space, though.
When viewed at the perpendicular angle, the picture looks great, at an angle it’s a bit washed out, but nothing too terrible.The contrast is very nice, the grey is uniform and the black is not too bright, even in a completely dark room (default for me). The terminal looks especially nice on such a big screen.
The stand that comes with the monitor is very basic (no rotation, no up-down movement) and quite ugly (it’s red, yuck), but that’s not a problem for me since I won’t be using it.
Here is a random photo of the monitor from the internet:
