i ran suse once looked nice but im too noob to know how to run linux pity it isn't made more like some other broken piece of software some of us embrace

i double dare you to use slackware or FreeBSD :P

-D

finally got round to installing the lanparty x48 mobo

only board Ive ever run that installed everything, running with drivers, 1st go off the bat.

had to update bios (as you should) to recognise an updated-bios 3870X2 card due to the -2on1- display setup

(run the 3870x2 with the 'asus top' bios setup 851/954mhz setup ~ 6% stable gain in performance just from bios update)

very very nice board.

LanParty LT x48-TR2

Intel QX6850 quadcore 3.0ghz CPU

Asus Lion Square cpu cooler

Asus 3870x2 1gb Video Card

3gb Patriot 1066mhz ddr2 Ram

Thermaltake ram cooler

Dell PhysX pci card

3x 320gb Sata HD in Raid0

1x 500gb Sata HD backup

Dvd burner, Fdd, Fan & Temp controller, Vista Ulitame 64-bit

Lian Li PC-V2010 huge-m0f0 tower

G5 mouse, G15 key, Logitech X-530 surround sound, Sonar 5.1 usb headset, 22" proview 2ms Lcd

"spare" kids & wife pc with my other board, also have a p5w dh deluxe sitting here, and 2x dead s900XT's that died whilst on water cooling system.

so my choice water system is sitting idle atm. another day.

Asus P5E

Intel Q6600 quadcore 2.4ghz CPU

Thermaltake VX typhoon cpu cooler

MSI o/c Ati 2600xt

4gb OCZ Bronze 667mhz ddr2 Ram

2 x 200gb Sata HD's

Dvd burner, Fdd, Vista, basic case,

Wolf keyboard, Cyber Snipa mouse, Soloman 5.1 sound, Zalman headset, 19" Cmv 5ms Lcd

grrr too much ebay'ing.

moral to the story, keep on upgrading, buy for cheap and sell when upgrading, keeping what you dont flog off over the years as a 2nd good pc.

better do some benchmarks now. had a 3rd 3870 Ati card, new, but onsold that to my brother when he grabbed a 24" screen.

might grab a cheap $80 3850x2 1b tho :happy: just like the Stagea cant stop :)

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
