showing my ignorace but whats OCAU?

Overclockers Australia

www.overclockers.com.au

It was primarily an overclocking website but now its a very big forum with a wide variety of areas, motoring, science, sports, current events and of course all the computer related stuff. If your into geeky stuff or endless arguments you'll probably find something to interest yourself there.

hey yeh 2 grande to build just a system is plenty for the average gamer (not in retail) i never look at retail prices nowadays so maybe 2 gs isnt that much for a box (no mon), i spent 3 gs whole sale on my comp and its running a treat, but dont future proof urself when buying a computer... theres no such thing, young kids just tell it to their parents to try and buy better equipment. :(

lol i spent about 4g on this rig over time got rid (not by choice) of my x850XT PE for a x1900xtx

but yeah HDTV and all the good bits when brand new

CPU+Ram was $1000

Mobo+PSU was $650

LCD was $700 3 years ago

and the list goes on ...

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

Have a look at www.umart.com.au

System looks nice only problem might be the power supply most prob need a 400watt min.

You can get the ga-965p-ds3 which is the same motherboard as the one u listed but without the intergrated graphics which you dont need so its cheaper.

i like to build them with intergrated just in case you have to RMA the gfx card your not left without a basic PC

and yeah would probably get @ least a 350w PSU but you wouldnt have to as my dads case has a 350 generic and it runs my xtx fine so a 300w would be ok for a PRO card

alot of these website arnt good for ppls that dont know what there looking @ its a bunch of pages with prices and pictures if Nick doesnt know which motherboard goes with which CPU then thats why hes here asking for help

if anyone wants 20-22 inch widescreen monitors... talk to me. under 600 dollars, great for alot of things including u fellas with xbox 360s needing something cheap and moderately big to play games using 1080dpi Hi Definition.

Actually thats the going price these days. Check out www.staticice.com.au

The viewsonic 2025 is one I picked up and its fantastic (21" widescreen). Got it for $550 delivered a few months ago.

yeah im thinking 22" 1080i for 600 very hard to find that since you dont get 1920x1200 until you hit the 24" screen

EDIT

OMG OMG

22

FP222W 22"WIDE,5ms,300nits,700:1,D-SUB,DVI-D,1680x1050,SILVER/BLACK BenQ

$239.00

not the reso i wanted but its a good brand and its cheap ... must be off the back of a truck

or far more amazing

FP241W 24"WIDESCREEN,500nits,1000:1,6ms,DSUB,DVI-D,HDMI,SVID,BLACK BenQ

$259.00

I just rang them and both of those prices were entered incorrectly (no big surprise).

But I have been looking at these (OCAU did a group buy on these recently, but this price beats even that) :

Chimei 22" WS

lol tell em its in black and white i want 10 of each monitors

EDIT

Chimei 221A 22" WS

You want to look at the 221D as it has dvi. If you want to have a look at the chimei monitors in action jb hifi in marion has one setup.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • 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.
