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?

    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers
