All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

Hey i'm not a fan on those crazy looking boxes with holes and flames in em.

I just have a nice big black box

I built this myself about this time last year.

Athlon 64 Socket 939 3200+

Dual 6600GT's

ASUS SLi-Deluxe MB (was the best board money could buy at the time)

Dual layer DVD burner

And seperate CD burner

17inch LCD 8ms monitor

And my dads old Logitech speakers.

Pretty happy with it but am still using my old 80gig hdd so i really need to get a new one.

I also have too many consoles

Gameboy

Gameboy pocket

Gameboy Advance

Gameboy Advance SP

Nintendo DS

Sony PSP

Atari Lynx

Super Famicom (japanese SNES)

Sony Playstation

Sony Playstation 2

Sega Saturn

Sega Dreamcast

Nintendo Gamecube

And i have hundreds of original games for all of them.

Been playing games since i was 4 years old (21 now) And am picking up my XBOX360 at midnight on the 22nd of this month.

I'll post pictures of it all at some stage maybe if i can be stuffed.

LOL.... Hey there Madaz :D

I just realised you're the only other person ive seen with the same box as me - Thermaltake one!

Btw...did you get the fans working correctly? all four with the control at the front? Mine didnt come with

instructions as it was the display box (got it cheaper)...

Oh..and a few games i noticed you're missing:

1) Need for Speed Most wanted

2) Unreal Tournament

naw i never bothered to hook them up to the controlers i got the 1 on the back working and 1 on the side and that all i can look for manuals for you :D save u tearing ur hair out :kiss:

i played the demo of NFS:MW but didnt think it was worth my money

UT did grab me either as i prefer simulated RL combat not alien or made up beings... saying thast i almost bought UT2004 for the total conversion mod Red Orchestra which i will prolly buy on Steam for the source engine

and i do wanna get COD2

who pays for games?...pfft. :D

:) I think i have a common theme here :P

Madaz: I manage to get all four fans working, but i only have control of a few of them and even that is arguable (i know they all work, just not sure if the actual fans react to my changes on the dials). If you can find a user manual or the likes for the case that would be great :P

Nah not yet, my mate(bowzer) and i both run with S14's and can get some team slide happening quite often, have even made up D1 comps of our own with other mates. You slide on GT?

cool, yeah i used to do it heaps. I'll find some of my vids and post 'em up for ya :)

I wish GT4 had the same physics... it seems to be alot harder to slide like in GT3 :P

yeh do it, Yeh GT4 has heaps of issues with the slide, Thats all we do these days on GT, what track do you slide mostly? Were well into Seatle, thats our fav, but can slide Trial Mountain, Grand Valley, Laguna Seca, Deep forrest and of course SSR5 wet and dry, generally use the sprinters in the wet!

Joolz, just saw your S14a sliding.........Nice work! It's killa when you can get links happening, but we generally go for hell switch backs on entry, Might try and save some, dunno how to transfer onto computer tho! Or we could hook up for some sliding..........and you could do it! Would have to bring my own car tho!!!!

Hey guys..

I can't believe you guys pay retail for the games..lol

my suggestion, go to www.zest.co.th

and buy your games there...

cheaper just to buy cd key and download the game..

e.g.bf2 key--- after money conversion from thailand only $20 bucks...

I bought my bf2 and cod2 there...

and madaz... ur ventrillo server...I log in and half the time ur away..lol...

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      By V35_Paul 路 Posted

      I've been sent a new main board to replace the suspected broken one. I haven't taken the screen out to look but I'm I'm assuming it's all plug and play.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      Yes. It's not aesthetically pleasing. And most turbos sold these days are sold for aesthetic purposes (Insta likes/fame, etc). Also its cheaper to not machine it. The hot side is the pipe with hot air in it from the turbo to the intercooler. The cold side is the pipe with cooled air in it from the IC to the engine. Anywhere after the turbo will do. Certainly before the IC is better than the IC. But there is no massive imperative to get it from the turbo scroll itself, or from no more than an inch downstream. Those are nonsense thoughts. The only thing we want is a pretty honest measurement of the pressure at the turbo outlet, and anywhere from the compressor housing itself to the inlet of the IC will read approximately the same thing. Yeah, I disagree with Tao on that one. It's fine for an engine that only runs on the dyno at full throttle (or, equivalently, a drag car that only really runs at full throttle also). But some turbos that are particularly sensitive to overspeed (ie EFRs) would quite possibly get into a lot of trouble if run that way.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      Whether the brakes will clear the back of the spokes comes down to the specific wheel, as well as its dimensions (ie 18x8 or whatever else size). You can have 2 different wheels of the same size and one will clear and on the other the spoke design will not clear. So your question "Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"?" cannot be answered in a meaningful way. You need that person to be using the same wheel you want to use.
