WOW msy is getting fancy they have changed there website so you can actually make an account and put stock in a cart no delivery as yet but you choose pickup and i guess select the store you want to pick up from

Its handy to see if they actually have what you want in stock, rather than trying to ring them and have no one answer :rolleyes:

Or ring and have someone you can't understand answer rolleyes.gif

Turned on my desktop for the first time in ages the other day to install NFS, and to my surprise the gtx260 I bought over a year and a half a go can still put out 1920x1080 with everything set to high and a decent frame rate..

Does anyone happen to have a 20-24 pin PC power supply adapter laying around I can buy? I want to fit an older (but awesome) 20 pin Thermaltake PSU into a PC I am making the lad for Xmas, but newer motherboards are of course 24 pin.

What I am looking for is like this : http://cgi.ebay.com....=item2eaf34d7b0

I have ordered a couple off Ebay, but assume they won't get here by Xmas, so if no-one has one locally I will have to go buy a cheap PSU for the PC, which would suck. Anyone got a converter laying about?

I don't know for certain about the latest boards, but the earlier ones (first year or so when 24 pin was used) could run off a normal 20 pin ATX.

Failing that, I bought 2 430w thermal take psus from MSY a year a go for about 40 bucks each, one's been runing a c2d + 6 hdd's fine ever since, and the other is still powering a 2x100wrms car amp.

ordered a few goodies today :)

Fractal Design Define R3 Titanium case

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition CPU

Sapphire Radeon HD6950 2GB Graphics card

Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 Rev2 MoBo

CoolerMaster GX 750W PSU

oh jealous much :D

Great case Carl.

I've got one also.......................very well insulated for sound but it's pretty heavy unfortunately

I have no idea how you guys justify spending that much money on an upgrade to your PC when in a year it is worth nothing. I have built a PC that won't quite look as good, and will only be 90% as fast, but cost a quarter of the bits you are getting Carl.

all the bits i have ordered are actually quite middle of the road apart from the vid card. also by going back to AMD i am saving a good $500 that would have gone towards paying for the word intel.

the fact of the matter is, if im not spending unnecessary money on my car, its going on the PC.... neither are an investment by any stretch of the imagination lol

About $1k

quite decent

I spent around $2k last year on memory (12gb), psu (850w), vidcard (r4890), cpu (i7 920), mobo (p6t deluxe v2) and 2x 1tb hdd's... then another $1.5k this year on ssd (50gb revodrive), case (coolermaster storm sniper black), bluray burner (LG), tape backup unit (Quantumn DLT-V4), keyboard (G19) and another 2tb hdd (WD Green)...

last pc worked for a good 5 years, I'm hoping the current platform I have will last that long (it should provided I upgrade the videocard and cpu when the cpu socket gets to its EOL)

-D

    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
