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.

whats the performance like from the 6950 to the 670? can you notice it in actual gameplay?

Looking to upgrade my 5870 but still maxing out games. Buy now or wait one more round of cards?

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 have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
