You need a dual head video card, but from what I remember those optiplexes only take half size video cards so you may not be able to easily find something cheap that will do it.

well my mate at work is scrapping his old computer, so we are gonna try hooking that up somehow. dunno how that affects works warranty on the comp, oh well :)

As long as you don't obviously damage anything or cause it to break due to something you have done they still have to honour their warranty. The warranty void if removed stickers don't mean shit.

i love it when people call the case a hard drive.. this split cable is good for presentation purposes but not for desk work.

I apologise, next time i will post it in the wasteland so i dont offend anybody with my incorrect lingo.

its all good. i used to be the same.... now i look after eCommunications for Wester Melbourne Division General Practice... i once was the same

Yeah i do alot of the software/systems stuff at my work, but haven't ever touched any hardware. Should be starting my CERT III in IT, network admin soon

    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
    • Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.
    • Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them? 
    • I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.
    • Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
