You could potentially configure a squid proxy to cache it all. There appears to be a pro version of ninite which is designed to allow you to easily cache the install data, $20 per month though so unless youre doing quite a number of installs its a bit of a financial outlay to just save you some data.

yeah squids pretty decent, you just have to make sure you cache all the files and not just the common ones - usually theres a limit of a meg or two which won't help much for software installs... you'd also need a huge cache limit too.... dunno if andrew is that familiar with linux tho ;P otherwise he can install slackware in a vm host and just run it on his server/gateway

-D

At a previous place of employment I had setup smoothwall with a huge squid cache limit for that reason, seeing as it has a pretty gui anyone is able to make changes. Also good for blocking outbound traffic so when you're fixing a virus infected computer you don't get flagged for sending out mass amounts of spam.

so $150 is the going rate for a full system install + software they want done also

$100-150 depending on the complexity is fairly usual, the 150 mark often includes basic backup of my docs etc, if they have restore cds and don't want anything else done $50 is often the norm.

I used to do these sort of jobs on the side and I would charge $150, that also included the call out fee to diagnose in the first place.

1Gb DDR3 HIS IceQ4 Radeon HD 4850 PCI-e Video Card

Any gamers out there want a kick-ass budget-priced video card? I have just upgraded to a 5850 so this baby has to go.

Details here:

http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-30.shtml

This is THE 4850 card - rated as the best of its generation with dual heat pipes, silent fans and very high/stable performance. NEVER overclocked in any variety, and was run in a system full of cooling fans and temperature control - this card ALWAYS ran very cool - even in warm weather under heavy gaming load.

Comes in original box with original manual, unused sticker, Crossfire bridge and power adapter. Does not have driver CD (always used the latest Catalyst drivers off the net anyhow) nor any DVI/VGA/HDMI adapters (big deal). Has 2 DVI ports (and an S-Video) on the back of the card fyi.

$150

yeah 2 4850s would be ace - but 1 5850 is even better :P .... only reason I upgraded is that in huge 8 player battles in StarCraft 2 it would drop to 20 fps, which is needless to say unacceptable. Was fine in all other scenarios in SC2 though - even at 1920x1200 which I run all games in.

I am wanting to upgrade my PS3's hard drive to something larger. So I am looking at buying this, anyone else want me to order them one aswell?

They also have this type too

yeah Abe, I'll grab one as well.......I'm guessing the only differences between the 2 units is the internal HDD (w/- fan) vs external, yeah?

I'm leaning towards the internal w/- fan......which one are you going for?

That's correct Pete, I am going for the internal Hard Drive type, so I don't have another box sitting outside the PS3 (less cables and mess).

I'll buy them this arvo when I get back from Work, in-case anyone else wants one.

wait for as long as you can in case of further interest Abe then let me know via PM what I owe you with bank details if you like

Sure, I am in no big rush for it, in-fact I would rather get a special little development kit to make the 1tb a bit more useful :mad::ninja:

Steve, sadly my 3DMark06 only made 10,800. My CPU is only a Phenom 9500, which despite being not too dissimilar in performance according to the benchmaking websites, falls WAY short of the Q66000 in 3DMark06. I also have a strong feeling that for some reason my Win7 is really not liking the 5850 after I pulled out the 4850. I played SCII last night and went into a big battle and the card came to a crawl at 1fps - this should not happen no matter what with a 5850. Might be time for me to upgrade my system AND do a fresh install. My mobo will take a Phenom 955, which is only $159, so is a great bang for buck upgrade.Or for $213 I could go a 6 core 1055T - but not sure how much (if any software) will utilise all 6 cores correctly.

My brother-in-law has just purchased 2 x hybrid 500Gb drives for around $170 each. He is going to raid them for his system. I might do the same, as my SSD is so small I can't store my Win7 + programs + Steam on it - which is what I really need to do to improve hard drive performance. The fact that my Win7 loads off the SSD in half the time if I disconnect my data drives indicates they are slowing the system down to a point where the SSD is almost redundant.

Anyone want to buy a GSkill Falcon II 64Gb SSD?

    • Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)
    • 4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.
    • Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.
    • Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.
    • Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
