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:

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
