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

good stuff kralster nice little system ... would love to see a 3dmark05 ORB heres mine

My 3dMark05 ORB

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...

    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
    • And now the bloody flapper is jammed slightly open. Lazy as all f**k in 3rd-5th (very hard to convince it to make much boost before you run out of revs), but will make 12 psi in 1st, which shouldb't be possible with a 5 psi spring and controller set to <10 psi. Methinks I'm lucky it jammed where it did, rather than fully closed. It's actually a well weird situation. Careful examination of what's happening in the back of that housing when the gearbox comes out and all the other stuff (injectors, AFM retune) is supposed to be done, next week.
