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

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
