So a friend tells me Aldi sell PC's, and i'm like yeah shit ones, but i dunno, this looks pretty good??

Most you forums geeks :D probably remember my other thread, bout building a Monster 3D PC, within a budget, what about this one?

Could i build this PC for less? Would it be good for 3D? You think i should buy it?

Obviously no monitor, and only 512mb RAM, but you think with a bit more RAM could have a go-er?

cheers y'all

I've seen that in the paper.

It would be a rocket ship, but without a screen it's pretty high priced.

I guess you could take the add down to CPL and get them to make up something similar and probably faster for less money.

one thing... they normally get their electronics in and on sale on thursday... theyre normally sold out within half an hour of opening if ur lucky.

so if they arent already sold out... u had better hurry ur arse up and get in there :D

well dude from what i can see looks to F***** good lol.. only thing i am unsure about is that the P4processor 550. 800 MHz Front side Bus... stands for.... other than that good deal.... but dont appear to come with a monitor. :D

im building a P4 3.6 with 2GB of RAM and dual 250GB drives with a 256MB raedon with dual 19inch monitors... so far the whole thing comes to a little over 3k.

im sure if u cut down on other bits u could build an entire PC to same specs if not better for little over 2k

so i could build one cheaper??? If i could build the above cheaper, then i wouldn't worry about it... i just thought that this might one of those ones which you COULDN't build cheaper.

Also has everything i wanted. 16x DVD-RW, TV Card, Dual monitor gfx card, and really good CPU. Oh and looks like good audio too. I might give CPL a call, and see what they can do. Cos i still want a couple of monitors, and DON'T need things like fax modems, etc

cheers.

inark, why would you choose a p4 over a amd 64? especially considering 64 bit windows will be out early next year, and the p4's over 2.8ghz run hotter than hell ?

you seem to want to spend bucketloads of money, so,

if you wait about a month, you can get a nforce4 chipset socket 939 m/board that has SLI on it that can have two of those fancy video cards you want. ( you can start with one then get another later if money is a constraint )

how would dual vid cards with your nice (and expensive :)) dual 19" displays !!

eventually you could add two more 19" diplays to the mix and have 4 monitors running off your machine. !!

YOU COULD READ 4 SAU THREADS AT ONCE, FULLSCREEN :)

I'm not saying the AMD isn't a great CPU it's just at this stage there is no support for it. Yes Longhorn is set to be released "early" next year but so was the V35 GTR if you get my drift?

AMD and Intel both make very good popducts. I'm also looking for a new PC but waiting for the release of the new version of Windows.

the 64 bit windows beta that is already available will be properly released early next year afaik, this isnt longhorn, its just xp with 64bit support.

isnt longhorn still slated for 2006?

if your looking to upgrade or buy in the next 3 months and you plan on playing games at all i would recommend athlon 64's atm especially nforce 3 chipset boards, and nforce 4's if they are out when you buy.

lol 4 monitors.... then i could play flight sims with a monitor for almost each window haha

nah i'll stick to me P4... had AMDs before and they just didnt cut it for me... nicely priced but thats about all they really had going for em... its like jap vs euro where jap is AMD which is way better bang for buck but euro is always just that little better in build quality :)

chinny... go to www.msy.com.au and get a comparitive price from there... generally found them cheaper than CPL.

ok... u can build one with better parts for less but without all the gimicky crap u probably wont need...

do u need a:

-56k modem

-Wireless

-Bluetooth

-TV Tuner

-Card Reader

Motherboard

G-B 81925X-G $245

CPU

P4 3.4Ghz 800FSB $385

RAM

2 x 512MB PC3200 DDR400 $188

HDD

WD 250GB 8MB IDE $159

GFX Card

Winfast PCX6600GT DVI Express PCI $345

DVD ROMs

LG 16x DVD ROM $35

LG 16x DVD-R $92

Case

Coolermaster CAV-T01 with Silent P/S $175

Thats 1545 so far...

Just add in a decent sound card and a nice wireless keyboard and mouse and wireless network card and its about the same but with more RAM and a better GFX card and way better case.

    • 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).
