Andrew, unfrotunately no I can't get you a key :D I was one of the first 2000 to activate my beta key when Kane's Wrath was released, hence how I got in. You are welcome to come round for a gander if you wish... Might even be able to hook you up with my key for you to play, so long as you aren't on when I want to get on :worship:

Managed to become part of the Red Alert 3 beta for anyone who cares. Pretty fun and the whole naval base building adds a whole new twist to things, pretty good so far IMO

ey mate yea i got in to, havnt started playin yet have been busy building some computers for people. Hopefully get onto it on the weekend. How is it any good??

parts are fine , only thing id change is the PSU , get a corsair HX620 , better quality and it is modular

Nice setup apart from the PSU.

Corsair or Seasonic PSU. They are the same thing.

The 640AAKS is a very quick drive. :blink:

Hmm went and bought it all on Saturday along with a 21.6 inch samsung monitor.

Awesome setup love it.

Also decided to get two of the hdd and am running them in RAID0 muhhaahaha so fast.

On the case of the power supply it is modular, and it seems to have more than enough juice for everything so far.

Crysis at 1650x1080 everything set to "High" and i get a constant framerate of 45-50.

^^^ That's an awesome rig you've put together, it's near identical to mine :)

GA-EP45-DS3R

Intel C2D E8400

Seagate 7200.11 500GB+750GB

OCZ Platinum 8500 (1066Mhz) 4GB

Seasonic S12+ 650W PSU

Nvidia GB 8800GS -> soon to be HD4870 of some sort

im running this on my desktop... got a couple others about but this one is slightly moar interesting

GA-M56S-S3

AMD X2 6000+

Kingston 1G 800 (four of em)

Gigabyte 8800gt (512)

WD 1TB 7200 (got three of em)

WD Raptor 150G (bootdrive)

Antec Neo Power 550W

also have two LG W2252TQ's (22" widescreen 2ms)

gonna get better ram next

any suggestions?

Sticking with the stock frequencies for your mobo - kralster's Corsair TWIN2x4096-6400C5 PRO 4GB would be an obvious choice or OCZ Platinum-PC2 6400 4GB (2x2GB). Also, both should have reasonable potential if you plan to OC.

cheers, i'm leaning towards corsair... probably not gonna OC it, just gonna leave it stock and stable

hey everyone, im going to upgrade my ram in the next couple of days and im after some advice. currently it has 2 512MB PC3200 sticks in it. im debating whether or not to just put another 2 in there to get 2 gig of total RAM or swap them all out for single 1gig sticks so i have a total of 4 gig of RAM.

now my FSB is 800Mhz so what are the advantages of upgrading to a higher speed ram as well?

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
