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:

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
