All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

Macs own pc at graphic application, rendering, virus free and spyware free OS.

Oh and big + is not Microsoft run :P

Wrong, A Mac is an overpriced PC with a Mac Os, the hardware these days is exactly/similarly the same as normal PC Hardware, only difference is Software.

Wrong again. Yes they are less prone to that stuff, but during my time in computer repair & servicing, I had countless Macs to remove infections from.

Meh, I would rather my money go to them, then to the ass that is Steve Jobs.

Oh, and your only Bi, as you also have a PC.

spot on Abe, the misconception that they are more virus resistant comes primarily from the fact that Mac has such a small market share, and not many ppl bother to make viruses.

once upon a time Mac was teh way to go for graphics heavy uses, however since mac started using intel for processors its a level playing field in taht regard

my major gripe with Macs is the fact that they have a tendancy not to relase patches for updates... u have to wait for the next version and download the whole damn thing. sure it makes new updates potentially less buggy, but it makes a mac a more bandwidth heavy computer to run.

Here is a story about a Mac customer I had at work once.

A customer comes into the store with a relatively brand new Mac iBook from JB HIFI. He asks us how much to install Windows 7, I quote him up and he goes ahead with it. He asks me to back up some files/documents on the desktop, I back it up from him, install Windows 7, and copy his data across. While copying the data I noticed he had AVG (I don't suggest this), and a few other antivirus/spyware program installers. I hand him back his iBook after paying for it.

The next day or day after he comes back in saying he has got a virus, accusing us for not telling him he need protection, where I said "you had those installers, I thought you were going to use them", his reply "you should have told me anyway", went on like this for awhile, till we finally come to an agreement. I removed the virus, customer picked up his iBook, I then proceeded to tell him about activating Windows - he demanded I do it then and there for him, this was against company policy as it is an agreement between them and Mircosoft, Still did it anyway.

My major gripe with Macs is that 1). for the hardware you listed in your build Carl you wouldn't get any change out of $3k for an IMac with the same specs, and 2) the parts are OEM, so when you want to add more ram or change anything you have to send the whole box back to Mac.

Hope the pcie slot can hold it up lol

its not meant to lol, make sure you use screws to fasten the rear, even if you have an instant clip type gaming case - always use screws as screws are load bearing

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
