im looking at getting a desktop comp soonish to replace the laptop. im not an uber l337 gamer so i dont want anything too fancy, just something thats gonna handle online games like runescape in HD.

was thinking something like this with the AMD AM2 Athlon x2 5200+. Thoughts and possible upgrades?

Please tell me you didn't put Runescape and HD in the same sentence.

*Consoles 'HD'* "It's ok... he knows not what he says"

Not the gaming console.. consoles as in , calms, soothes, sympathises. lol

The green drives are 5400RPM and you do get a slight performance hit from them. I use my PC and Mac for mainly audio recording so I kinda need all the performance I can get. I have black AAKS 640Gb drives in both my PC and Mac and they're pretty impressive performers

I wanna to get rid of my 74Gb Raptor which is my XP OS drive and get 2 x 300Gb raptors....... that'll f**kin' dominate in RAID 0.

Steve, I might be interested in your 74gb Raptor if it's in good nick and the price is low......PM if you are

mmmmmmmm 10,000rpm goodness

Hmm.. Something tells me they could have all been in one post. :glare:

I'll let you know when I actually get around to removing it. The WD 'AAKS' black drives are actually just as fast as the 36/74Gb raptors except they just don't seek so fast, but STR's are about on par if not faster than the older raptors

anyone know where I can get a couple of these drives in Adelaide tomorrow?

2x WD640Gb 32mg WD6401AALS (not WD6400AAKS which are 16mg)

I can get them interstate next Tues or Wed but would prefer them tomorrow.

I've checked with the usual, Westan, Todaytech & MSY already but no go in their price lists.

Have you tried Getright, Alneeds or Hypernet?

Have you tried Getright, Alneeds or Hypernet?

Getright have a listing for them on their website (whether in stock is another issue) but when you compare product details between the 16mb & 32mb cache on their site, it says the 16mb has a faster internal transfer rate.....huh??

Is this new 32Mb cache drive a 7.2K RPM model?

these are the price lists i have found Pete now its up to you to let your fingers do the walking

i-Tech: Adelaide: 08 8121 2021 $135.00 inc.GST doesnt say if there in stock from adelaide as i-Tech have stores nation wide

Auswide Computers: Adelaide: 8254 3522 $179.00rrp $136.85ex. $150.54inc. again do not say if there in stock and there out at smithfield

Sled.. Check out the new 500gb platter drives. :laugh:

Increased density = improved performance.

I've had the older WD640AAKS since it was released. Really nice quite fast drive. ;)

Had a little scare almost lost over 500gb of data that cannot be replaced (family, pictures video etc etc), so I'm going to fast track that nas box running raid 1 & gigabit lan with a couple 500gb platter 1tb or 1.5tb drives.

Will make the jump to SSD the moment they sort the fragmentation issues out. :P

Dang that is one kick-ass setup there Tangles .... I am hanging to upgrade my Phenom system, but can't be stuffed doing a fresh reinstall of everything - I have my system set up just how I likes it. Ah well, the Phenom will hang in there for a while yet.♠

    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is juan@bardabe.com   
    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
