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...

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
