Games machines are a whole different area, I agree they are way overpriced. However if I did have masses of spare money I wouldn't mind an alienware PC. But then to be honest I don't play games much anymore, Last one was Quake 3 (thats how long ago it was) I am just trying to get it running on my raspberry Pi at the moment so I can bring back memories of yesteryear. LOL


Meeee

That's funny I was going to mention alienware in my post as being overpriced, but to be fair, their cases are stunning... I do like them, although I prefer coolermaster.

True the coolmaster cases are impressive as well. I remember about 3 years ago Dell did a liquid cooled alienware case which was stunning.

The main back box as an RJ12 socket and the faceplate an RJ12 plug. You just take out the old faceplate and plug the newone in. The new one has a built in Microfilter and ringing wire isolation. It also has a crone strip for etensions.

see here www.robertos.me.uk/html/ring-bell_wire.html


Meeee

Which is what I said you still need to reconnect the internal extension wiring.

This should explain all womble

But I do understand telecoms wiring, which is why I don't understand it. And I did follow the link and see the reviews.

If you have a modern std BT master socket, doesn't matter what type, the hard wired cabling is fixed to the rear of the master socket.
All of your extension wiring is fixed (should be) to the removable front plate. the plate you are talking about replacing. You cannot just change the front plate with reconnecting the wires.

There are various type of older socket, but none will allow you to change the front plate.

erm... I dunno mate... Like I said, I don't do wiring, so dont really know, All I kno is the sales pitch lol.... if you look at the image of the plate itself, there's a big hole in the middle of it, doesn't look like the actual main telephone socket connects to it at all, although again, I don't know what I'm talking about lol.

I have one in my house, and have swapped the frontplate, if you don't have any extensions then it is just 2 screws, the ones I have seen also come with a plastic crone tool to recrone any extensions that you have.

[alvoram]

You dont need to do anything other than plug it in, with or without extensions watch the video...

[meeee]

Also to be honest it made little if no difference in broadband speed or drops

[meeee]

Mine is slighly different from that one as it has a crone block on it, I got it from a friend who works for BT.

[alvoram]

it only makes a difference if your router is connected into the extension rather than the master socket mee, that was one of the points I was originally trying to make lol...

I must apologise, I didn't think a plate could be fitted to the bt master socket without the wiring being removed.
Even the front plate.
Sorry dude, I guess you learn something every day.

Dont worry womble, not being clued up on these things my explanations were worse than normal, and they're normally quite bad

They look nice, but honestly mate, you could build something much better for much less, compatibility is easy to overcome, most good component stores would be happy to take calls on compatibility if you're unsure. IMO the hardest thing about building a high end PC these days, at least to me is getting the cooling balance right, I like lots of fans, but you have to balance them properly, too much intake, and you've got a vacuum cleaner, dust will build up, too much outwards, and it will be less effective.
