Amps = Watts/Volts

Say a pc IS actually using 350w that would be

X = 350 / 240

there for 1 pc @ 350w would = 1.4583....Amps

Which means about 6 pcs (6.8567) per socket would be ok?

Or did i fudge my figures :)

Sounds a tad excessive to me though....

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

Haven't tripped a circuit yet.

I might be jumping in a little late or not quite on topic, but I normally have about 6 PC's running out of one power point.

If I end up with more than 6, due to space they end up on another power point (witch has a running fish tank plugged into it LOL). I'm not sure if the two power points on the same circuit or not though.

Good luck game hard!

Hey Madaz,

this is the stuff that i am doing. At the moment this is only 69000 polys and my computer is starting to struggle with it.

i'm not sure if its only my video card that need up grading or more

I have a gig of ram which helps, The video card is only a 128mb ati radeon 9600.

got a 2.6ghz cpu

any suggestions?

How much actual RAM do you have on the motherboard ? The jerkyness when doing details could be the caused by the the image size making the program/windows write to the page file.

upgrade the ram by adding another 2 sticks and then upgrade the 3d card. if u have AGP start considering the PCI-e systems with DDR2 ram. its the way of the future. for now.

that gfx card only came in AGP my sugestion it start thinking of full upgrade can be done as cheap or as dear as u like to a certain extent

thats where i would go

E6600 x1900gt 2gb OCZ and a gigabyte mobo

nothing wrong with either computers just im on my 2nd pc with all those parts and havnt had any trouble even bought the gigabyte 939 board with a 3700+ for dads pc and that runs great

ive chosen a GT grafix card over XTX to keep the price down whilst still having performance to boot

**EDIT**

the DO NOT BUY LINE

i would say disregard that and change it too

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM ADELAIDE U WILL BE RAPED

shop online and you will be surprised

a quick $2,000 PC no monitor hopefully youve got 1

maybe SAZilla can do the same to show a comparison of a asus system

keep in mind these arnt the skimpiest parts and system could be built cheaper but there not the deaest parts either its a nice comprimise

this attachment is a excel document with hyperlinks to all products there will be cheaper prices in australia but ive found Scorptec to be fair and if u ask for discount you may get something also

i bought most of my gear from scorptec. They had to order stuff in like the motherboard in, but were still quicker and cheaper than buying here in SA.

Large gear like a case, HDD(s), and dvd rom i bought locally. I also bought my gpu locally incase i needed to RMA it - which i did 1 month after purchase and had a quick swap / replacement.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
