this is a bit diff to what i thought, but easier to manage whilst vehicle is in motion i would believe

Can you get an external HDD for these, or am i missing the link between HDD and SSD

it has usb ports so you can get external hdd's but you dont want a hdd in the car due to g-forces and shock. ssd = solid state (no moving parts) and can tolerate a lot of shock. They also draw about 1 watt as opposed to the 12-20 watts of a laptop (2.5") hdd - thats one of the reasons the netbooks can get 4 hours of use. Some of them use standard hdd's on the 1.8" scale but these too still draw a lot of power.

That link is for putting the perspect touch sensor inside an existing 901 laptop screen - loads of people have been doing this but I think this is the first one I've seen which doesn't require soldering. SO very tempting, tho it would void my warranty....

OK all you 4 eyed geeks out there ;)

I need to get serious about another build using decent gear without going over the top with price.

Input would be needed and appreciated.....here's a start:

Gigabyte EP45-UD3P M/Board...................$220

Intel Q9550 2.83Mhz CPU........................$413

Corsair Dominator DDR II 1066Mhz 4Gb.......$170

ATi Radeon HD 4850 1Gb.........................$280

Thermaltake 650W 'Q' Fan PSU.................$175

Samsung 2333 SW 23" LCD......................$290

Don't pay tax so these are all EX prices.......anyone do any better or suggest different setup?

Used for office work & video editing.........hence I normally run a Stripe Raid setup.

G-B EX58 DS4....................................$339

i& 920...............................................$469

4GB Kit(2x2G)DDR2 1066 Kingston.......$95

1GB 4850 Gigabyte.............................$287

Thermaltake ToughPower 600W...........$140

monitor personally im looking at this

21.5 “ 2ms HD WS Benq E2200HD Full HD.....$238

i was pretty sure not 100% sure just pretty that i7 uses either

all prices Inc. tax

this is what my mate gets at work

317986132.png

he gets to have a server on a 100Mb link to it too that he can just use to whore on torrents

/jealous

Weird - maximum I've gotten at Hostworks was about 70mbps on speedtest.net ;) .. That said, it does seem to depend on the time of day which suggests it may be a limitation of the testing server rather than Hostworks' connectivity though ...

I would be also be very careful of your friend advertising he 'whores torrents' on this server :)

sorry your right but for a little more than the dominator ram get some Gskill

4G Kit(2x2G) DDR3 1333 G.Skill NQ..............$215

you not going to overclock so you dont need heaps fancy ram Gskill will be quite fine

Steve, just checked out that GB EX58, it's 3 way, so would need 3 x 2Gb which may get expensive to go the i7 route.

Curious to know what the 1600mhz would cost?

Does your supplier issue proper tax invoices?.......otherwise no point if I can't claim the tax back.

Also the 600W ToughPower is noisy compared to the 650W 'Q' I think.

Hi Pete

almost the same as my setup except i run a 4870 vid card and asus m/board

i've had the 9550 running 3.0 ghz on air cooler for 6 months and it is magic!

I would go for a coolermaster tru power psu that has 5 year warranty

G.Skill NQ 3x2Gb DDR3 1600mhz = ~$377(excl gst) and yes his supplier does issue non-dodgy tax invoices :huh:

that's good to know Adrian......because of work files & video work I won't be overclocking as I need it to run very cool & rock stable.

I know Antec also offer 5 yr warranty but apparently Thermaltake have just gone Life-Time?!

Haha, thanks for that Patrick.....problem with DDR3 is that it's still too dear compared to DDR2 so I have to decide whether to spend the extra $$ although the i7 over the Q9550 would be very nice.

Unless you're running games, databases or doing hardcore rendering, its a waste. Stick with a quad core system and dual core ddr2, you'll get better value for that.

Incidentally re: EEE pc's, theres a new one coming out from Nvidia which replaces the i945 graphics chip with a 9300gm 3d accelerated northbridge.

Meaning the gfx card wont be neutered and will actually render HD properly. Interesting to note that they will keep the intel atom processor as the CPU, and that the 9300GM has integrated Phys-x capability (tho I cant see many games that use phys-x running nicely on the 9300, even tho it IS a step up).

I'll be keeping an eye out. Any excuse to put World of Warcraft on a netbook and run it across nextG is a good one. :huh:

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
