I thought that was about regular HDD's or something...

Still, graph

That being said most of the 240gb drives are more than double the price of a 120gb drive, so its a non choice anyway

Yeah but my motherboard is only SATA2 so by RAIDing I can push past the ~250Mb/s limit that imposes.

why run just standard drive setup.

I bought bf3 on the ps3 cause i wanted to play it without having to upgrade my computer just yet, now my computer is starting to die looks like i'll have to upgrade anyway

Do it. PC gets fullsize maps and 64 player games, not to mention the graphics (with decent hardware) will be worlds better. OH, and a keyboard and mouse ;).

P.S. Go to work, you slacker.

also since you lot are talking PCs

got a dell poweredge sitting here (1750 dual processor) want to buy decent sized SCSI drives and more memory for it - WHERE?

also want a set of clients to tie to it. I am trying to centralize a few things on to one machine.

I'm liking boz's idea, which is here, there's supposedly a nandos and a subway, and parking is right out front.

I'm willing to give it a go. Callvote?

Umart sell SCSI HDDs, but dang are they expensive. An option if you don't need the super fast HDD speed would be to get a SATA controller card and some SATA drives. I did that when I got a second hand server a while ago.

What do you mean by client? Just a PC that can communicate with the server, or a dumb terminal eg WYSE?

Ha! I've heard that line before.

I'll believe it when I see it :P

Any time I have said I WOULD come I have been there...My might record is not as good lol

PS when the hell is our next cricket game, I have totally lost track.

DDR ECC ram and SCSI disks? ebay :) might work out cheaper and better to get new server as Xeon cpu in 1750 are not 64bit I think, so you are stuck with either linux or old windows server.

wyse or similar. somthing with enough to start up a screen and basic computing but reliant on external services.

I have 2 of them. both freebies, both run. the SCSI drives already have 2003 R2 on them.

Bonnet pins arrived today.

Not very confident about fitting them due to the cutting required.

Anybody volunteering their skills? Will supply alcohol.....after the cutting is complete :P

Cutting or just drilling? It's not to bad

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
