Thanks guys, seems there isnt much difference in the prices so I might as well just buy it here.

What was the app you were referring to for remote control? Pi Buddy?

Im pretty sure that on previous occasions there was mention of the 'freont' being down due to a leak or something and it had been topped up, Ive had the engineers out a lot and the last time only a month ago (same guys each time) so Im sure they are checking for that each time.

No one is smoking in the room.

Its a ceiling mounted unit with everything else outside on the balcony, I really know nothing about how it works or what is draining where but everytime I have the guys out to clean it etc they do seem to do a thorough job. I will take a closer look at it tomorrow though and do some of my own reading on it.

I have noticed now that when I turn it on right when I go to sleep at approx midnight the problems start with the air getting warm and the noises about 4-5ish each time, its fine up until then though with the temp on around 22.

My landlord is calling the manufactures Amena on Monday to see if they can shed any light on thsi.

Yeah so I ran some tests yesterday and overall it is quieter but there are some sporadic humming noises at certain times on *some* games but when getting closer it appears that this is coming from one of the main fans on the back of the case, it only does this everyone and then for short bursts I guess when extra strain is being put on.

Anyone else think Balotelli is going to be a huge flop? I'm sure he will score here and there but not much else. A few more bad results or frustrating games and I wouldn't be surprised if he starts with the antics again...

Im thinking about getting a raspberry pi for two reasons, I want to have a new tech toy to play with and because I need a simple media player for the TV in my bedroom.

How much are they here in Bkk? Im going back to the UK next month, would I save more on it there?

How effective are they as media players?

What about controlling it? Ive heard there are remotes you can get, I dont really fancy using a keyboard and mouse with it.

I used to have a 360 which was good but then I switched to PS3 and then 2 yrs ago PC and not touched consoles since, however I do miss Halo and Gears of War which are 2 Xbox only franchises that I loved and after seeing the Halo: Master Chief collection which is Halo 1-4 with the first 2 remastered in HD out for the same price as a normal game Ive decided to get an Xbox one. Halo is one of the greatest game franchises ever and by far one of the best single player FPS games.

yes this is brilliant, at first when I saw the thing about ewallet etc I had a sinking feeling that I might not be able to use Paypal anymore but it works just fine and the prices are a good 20-30% cheaper, AAA titles like Witcher 3, Aliens Isolation and others all priced at around 900 baht which is an insane deal

Yes you were right totally useless with zero power so I just binned it!

So taken the gfx card out, didn't seem to be that dusty at all but given it a blow myself anyway. I don't see how or where I can put this seeing machine oil into the fans though as they appear to be totally sealed...

No compressed air at the IT shops I went to so I got one of these in the image attached, will it do? Not sure if to blows or sucks air, does it matter what I use to power it? I have an external USB battery I could try

Ive been living in a rented condo for over 4 years now, I think it was maybe 2 yrs old when I moved in so everything is new and in good order. Ive always needed to have the air conditioner units cleaned more often that I thought was needed though (I heard once a year is enough) as pretty much every 4 months or so the unit in the bedroom stops pumping out cool air even on the highest settings. My landlord is excellent though and always sends round the engineers and they give it a good clean, its quite a job but she covers the cost, Ive always been confused about why it would need cleaning so much though.

Just recently it seems to have gotten worse, in the last year or so on occasion its made loud crunching noises and chunks of ice have fallen out, I then get it cleaned and its fine and then it starts happening again a few months later. Now this is happening more regularly, I just had it cleaned in August and then this started again the other night with it making loud noises, ice falling out and also it stops blowing out cool air, all of this disrupts my sleep a lot, last 2 nights Ive had to resort to switching on the air in the other room full blast and then leave the bedroom door open to cool the bedroom down as the unit in the bedroom is causing so many problems.

So again had the engineer round but when I switch it on to show him its fine and he cant see any problems. I think Ive figured it out though, Im guessing something is getting blocked and the cold air is condensing, turning into ice which then blocks the cool air from coming out and then falls from the machine as well as creating the crunching noise. The problem is this only happens after 5-6 hrs of use so I havent been able to show this to the engineer yet.

Any tips or solutions here?

I guess this is what Im doing but with the gfx card fan right?

OK so I need to do the following?

Remove gfx card

Clean gfx card with compressed air holding the fan in place while I do this

Squirt a small amount of sewing machine oil into the section where the bearings are

Clean rest of computer with compressed air holding any fans in place.

OK, where can I get sewing machine oil and a can of compressed air?

Just noticed recently that whenever I play a game the PC starts to hum quite loud so Im guessing this is the gfx card fan? What would be the most likely problem? Dust clogged up? I havent opened up the PC to take a look yet but intend to do so this weekend.

Tips on how to clean it would be welcome!

Yeah my gf just read all this 30 mins ago, apparently the guy was raped too and the girl had blonde hair in her hands

I'd like to know about this too, I have a new uk passport and I'm going to CW in a month to do my extension and transfer visa stamp into new passport but I have heard conflicting stories about needing an embassy letter or not...

Anyone else see this on Coconuts?

http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2014/09/11/massive-internet-surveillance-begin-monday-report-claims

so should I break out my tin foil hat or not?

Can any engineers comment on this?

I have applied for a tourist visa to the Hull consulate many years ago by post, can the same be done for an ED visa? This would be to any UK consulate/embassy...

yeah zeichen what do you think this is, a public forum?

yeah I will talk to them about that asap.

I was planning on going back to the UK for a family visit on October 20th which is 6 days after my current extension expires, is it possible to get 7 days extended anyway so I can then get my ED visa while back in the UK?

I have just had my MOE test to extend studying for another year and have paid for a another years course, my next 90 day and end of my current year is Oct 14th so I did all this very early as advised by my school as they said the paperwork would take some time, so whats going to happen for me on Oct 14th and what should I do?

Be sure you get a letter from the embassy before going to CW. They will ask for it.

Really? I never knew that, so I guess Trendy dont give you one of those?

So I got the call from Trendy that my new UK passport is there waiting to be picked up. I will go and get it soon, I then need to have my current visa stamp transferred from my old passport to my new one correct? When do I have to do this? Chang wattana is miles away and I dont fancy a trip there, can I leave it until when I next go to do my 90 days?

I keep having to double check the source link and make sure its not NotTheNation.com......
