this machine work has a 40g drive in it. Hard core, and onboard gfx and all :lol:

home media machine has a 300g and an 80g

home games machine has one 80g

hard drive is the thing on the back end of the computer with taht big fan in it Dasblitz

LoL..

I made this thread to get an idea of what the average Joe has for storage.

My range of PC's come out with 160 ~ 200GB hard drives at the moment and that seems the accepatble storage size for most new PC's.

However having said that 250GB drives are getting extreemly cheap now, probably due to the new wave of 600 + GB Hard drives hitting the market soon.

Sizes have been pushed higher and higher due to the Digital Video Storage requirments of HD TV and SD Digital TV recording.

For example My Media Center Records HD TV at around ~3GB per 30minuets.

Its a killer!

:laugh:

600gb in my pc 250gb in my portable, 80gb in my laptop for perth side.

At home in Singapore 4 pcs 200gb, 160, 120, 120. 2 laptops 40 and 60gb shared among my family.

Total of ... ermm... *math*... 1630.

Just got my pc so the 600 came with it. =)

Alpha, i heard that using SLI for graphic cards are at only about 80% efficiency ? So that means u get about 1.6x performance gain? Currently using a ASUS p5n32 SLI with the nforce4 chipset.Got an Asus 7900GT top edition in it. Thinkin of gettin another for the SLI but was thinking if it was more worth it to change the 7900GTX instead.

Honestly.. Id push the 7900GT that you have and wait untill the next wave of SLI cards.. I have a feeling we are about to see a leap in vga technology.. * Vista will be pushing that leap..

Sounds like a good plan :D Thanks !

3x 80 gig SATA drives in a raid 0 array

120meg/s goodness ;)

EDIT: Forgot I have a 40gb 2.5 inch in a USB 2 caddy, good for sharing movies and whatnot with mates

Also got a dual core opteron running @ 2.2Ghz and a 6600 GT.

Don't have any jobs going do you alpha? I make for cheap labour :whistling:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
