Manage to swap my 4 month old 1/2 dying WD green drive for a new one at MSY.

Whole process went much smoother than I originally thought, after all the "MSY refund horror stories" I kept on hearing, got me all prepared for the possibility of a lengthy argument for nothing.

Just walked in with the drive, told them the problem & they just offered to replace it on the spot without even bother to test it or anything.

Now I just need to buy some external drives to back up my 1.5 TB anime collection.

i have found that the windforce cards aren't much chop for SLI, was awesome when I had 1x GTX 460 though.

Might go MSI for the 670, only because they always seem to clock a bit harder than the Gigabyte for much the same price, but time will tell.

CORRECT!

Start from a fresh install, clean it up, install all the apps you want and configure it all - Then image that. I always remove a bucket load of stuff from Windows that I don't want, different for other users perhaps.

Then it'll always be clean every time you ship it over (do it once every 6 months, you'd be surprised how much improvement it can make).

I guess i was more interested if that was a good price and quality SDD and big enough size?

sorry - could have worded it better.

But yes, idea was to copy data off that I want to keep - download all of the apps I need to a external drive, reinstall errytinks then use all of the 1tb OS drive for storage.

Jas I thought it was ok and bought 1 as well Intel have a very good reputation for fast SSD and for that they put a premium on their drives

I will be coming from a 64gb patriot pyro as my is drive I'm sure I paid about $125 for it

But due to the install size of windows 7 64bit and few other programs I couldn't keep bf3 on it, this will cure what ails me ;)

I've higlighted sustained in the intel stats, the Kingston says 535 but that is proberly burst either was both would be good upgrade options over a platter HDD

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
