Macs usually aren't as cheap as most other lappy's but JB HiFi usually do pretty good deals

there's probably other places around, theres an apple shop in the carillion arcade in perth above Hungry Jacks next to Game Traders, but they wouldnt be as cheap as some other third party retailers.

i got mine from Graham's said store above ^ 'DigiLife' but i went there the other day and they had closed down or something?

there is another store somewhere else but i'm not sure, Subiaco or something of the like

great prices anyway man, a Mac isn't cheap but you get what you pay for

my advice is to try the Apple Online store and i think if you're a student at certain Uni's you get certain discounts? don't quote me on that one though

went to nextbyte today (apple store) and they want $2000 for a imac with the mid-level screen (i need a decent sized screen for the application im using it for). tis a bit expensive, i remember my mate saying he got his imac for $1500 (this was about 3 years ago).

as hoony^ said, buy through Apple themselves as you can get a Student Discount

I got mine a year and a half ago now for around 2.2k down from 2.5k

In the end when they delivered it they didnt even care if I was a student or not, no ID required or anything.

Artref in Jollimont.

They are the oldest Apple dealer in Perth and you actually get support as opposed to just an invoice. Price isn't the lowest.

yeah rang my mate today and he mentioned the same place, looks like i will be checkin this joint out and get this show on the road. yyeeewwww :blink:

    • 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.
    • 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.
