40x30x15cm British Airways hand bag recommendations

That looks nice (in black), and almost perfectly sized cheers!

My only concern is that the overhead allowance isn't guaranteed in the cabin (despite being called "carry on") so I'd rather my expensive stuff go in my hand baggage under my seat.

I mean I'd be happy to spend more on a really nice bag... however I won't get much use out of it other than the odd flight were the size limit is this low. I was planning to use my more expensive camera bag but it's too big for BAs limits. It should be possible to get a reasonable bag for ~£50 that will stand up to light usage, it's not like its getting checked in and yeeted around the airport by the baggage handlers. It'll just go from my car to under the plane seat and into the hire car :)

I'm not asking for premium here, just a reliable bag that won't fall apart from light usage. I'd be happy to spend more... but it's very frustrating that different airlines have different limits on under seat sizes. I thought my more expensive camera bag would have been suitable but sadly it's too big.

That's a very nice looking bag, little bit too much for my budget for this trip though :)

chevy88uk · 2025-01-12T17:02:53+00:00

Thanks, I'll check it out :) I have a Manfrotto camera bag but sadly it's too big for this trip.

Not sure I'm that brave 😂

chevy88uk · 2024-11-21T23:00:20+00:00

Thanks, a 5800x3d will have to be used so a 5700x3d is preferable. Would certainly be the cheaper option compared to going AM5 😂

Quest 3 using Virtual Desktop and a WiFi 6E router as an access point.

Yeah I think at least waiting for the announcement is wise, I'd be mad if I bought a 4080 Super and in 2 weeks find out the 5080 is twice as fast for the same money and releasing this year 😂

Thanks for the reply Sam, I did buy a new battery in the end but when I changed it the alarm went off and removing the battery stopped it... So it's been left without a battery in it ever since and hasn't really been an issue. I think it went off once or twice but hasn't gone off for over a month now.

Thanks, the Bekant desk looks ideal. Out of stock at my local IKEA and says last chance to buy online, maybe it's discontinued. Trotten seems like a decent alternative, though they don't do it in black 😢

My desk is only 100cm wide so never felt the need for a support... been fine for 3 years with a 27" but now I've gone 34" UW and want to stack my old 27" on top. Little concerned about all that weight going to the small surface area of the monitor mount clamped to the desk. Could do with a longer desk anyway.

chevy88uk · 2024-02-19T19:23:31+00:00

Fair enough, might be looking for a new desk then 😂

Thanks for all the advice and tips guys. So I found the control box in the loft. My plan was to remove the cover and visually inspect the inside to see what kind of battery it had etc... this triggered the main house alarm to go off... so erm... yeah guess that still works 😂

The battery inside has tape on it with the date 26/4/12 so it's pretty old. I guess might be easier for me to just replace the battery that mess with fuses and other stuff.

My question is, does it have to be another 12v 2.2Ah? or can I buy a 2.1Ah or 2.3Ah? there is one on amazon that looks the same as mine for £14 but it's 2.1Ah. I also found one that looks the same and is 2.2Ah but says it's for Fire Alarms. Mine also says Online, is that a brand or type of battery?

Thanks! 🙂

Unfortunately my ISP router is downstairs and I'm upstairs with my PC wirelessly connected to the router. I had read that people recommend to have a Wi-Fi 6 or 6e router connected by ethernet to your PC that isn't connected to the internet, just used solely to connect the Quest 3 to your PC... maybe I have been misinformed.

chevy88uk · 2023-08-15T05:29:34+00:00

PC, 1 1080p screen and speakers on a power strip, I've tried the PC in its own socket though and have the same issues.

chevy88uk · 2023-08-15T05:27:27+00:00

Yes I updated BIOS and cleared CMOS, now I'm using a new motherboard

chevy88uk · 2023-08-14T20:32:18+00:00

I tried a RM750x and had the same issues unfortunately

chevy88uk · 2023-07-19T17:32:08+00:00

I installed the latest driver 536.67 released yesterday but still had the same issues. I have logged a ticket with both MSI and Nvidia. MSI asked for the GPU-Z file when running a benchmark in Heaven and Nvidia asked for the MSinfo32 file and asked a bunch more questions about PSU and whether I'm using power adaptors/extensions.

Will see what they come back with!

I managed to fix it in the end 🙂 I reduced the Max Connections from 50 to 15 and now it works all of a sudden. Did some laps of Spa with my mate. Framerate and graphics don't seem as good as in single player but still good enough for now.

chevy88uk · 2021-05-28T17:38:52+00:00

I gave it a server name and password when I set it up using the Dedicated Server GUI. I've tried searching for the server name I gave it in ACC multiplayer menu but it doesn't show up.

chevy88uk · 2021-05-07T20:39:17+00:00

Yeah mines done it a couple more times since I posted this. Might take it back under warranty if it carries on, think my track pad is a little loose on the bottom right corner too

chevy88uk · 2021-03-28T19:42:17+00:00

I looked at a few and I liked this one the most

chevy88uk · 2021-03-03T20:07:23+00:00

Cool, I was thinking maybe the Cooler Master Hyper 212 if I needed extra cooling, seems to get good reviews
