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

    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
    • This seems to be a very popular swap since all the turbo skyline prices went through the roof! I'll let someone more familiar chime in, but I understand that yes you probably want to swap the loom in to swap out the auto TCM stuff. You should not assume everything just plugs in either, you need to check at least the ECU wiring diagram for any differences at the plug at the left headlight and probably the ones near the ECU that join the dash loom too  
    • hows it fellas, my first post here which seems crazy cos half the forums i read are like the same age as me haha. to make a long story short ive got an r34 sedan (rb25de neo auto) which im swapping to a s0/s1? rb25det, r33 big box and nismo gt pro lsd. i have the motor and gearbox all bolted up outside the car, old motor and trans out. i bought the motor with stock ecu and loom, do i switch over to that? or will it be easier to get a r34 manual ecu and keep the loom if thats even possible.  also engine mounts look different, anything else thats different or incompatible? cheers, hope this all makes sense Paddy
