Toshiba make their own chassis's just like Asus do. There was a time when Asus made chassis, then sent them to local retailers to assemble. I had built quite a number of Asus laptops, and found them better than your run of the mill non-branded chassis, but the top shelf stuff has always been IBM/Toshiba who do all their building in-house. It's only recently that prices of IBM (Lenova) and Toshiba laptops have come down. Up until this year, sub-1000 dollar Toshiba laptops were unheard of. I'd go for Toshiba personally, but i'm not a huge fan of their design. Recently i've been purchasing Dell laptops for our workplace, who has slowly migrated from Toshiba laptops. I've had no problems with Dell so far, and their top end lightweight gear is actually pretty bloody awesome, so much so i'm considering buying one for myself. All the best with that mate.

I've just gone halves in a webserver that we're building for co-located hosting... check it out 8x3ghz and about 16gb of memory.

Asus more reliable than Toshiba? Care to elaborate on that comment?

LOL what happened?

No worries buddy, also see if George at Adelaide Pro Sound can be of any help to you. He's a regular on Car Audio Australia, and he's always more than happy to help skylinesaustralia members.

Decided to call up Tonkins 08 82122550... and they reckon they can get spare parts for the AVN Eclipse. They said however that they need serial numbers and/or proof of purchase, because of the eclipse security network. I'd give them a shot again if you haven't already.

Great price... we bought a rack mount x225 for around $6-7k maxed out with ram and hardies about 18months ago.

Looks like it's the blue one. Just doing a search on cardomain and the scion site.

damn looks more complicated than i thought.

Any chance you can take a shot of the back part? Is it a proprietory plug? Perhaps it's possible to make one up, couldn't imagine it'd be more that 4 wires per pair of pre-outs.

bummer.. sorry i didn't read properly. spent the last ten minutes researching this, and couldn't find anything on google or caraudioaustralia. How about a line-level out? http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/sisloc80.html

Go here mate wiked cabs on http://www.aussiearcade.com.au Good to here your rig's back up and running.

Hell nice!!! Nice collection there!!!! *wipes drool from keyboard*

It's like riding a bike... forward quarter circle heavy punch!

contact wrxhoon, he has a set which i believe he might still want to get rid of. I've just put a deposit on a set myself.

Wiked. i better practice up hey? haha. esp with that sf comp coming up you told me about.

Yeah i'm not too sure either. I haven't done any backing up since Civ 4.

Can't you just run safedisk?

I might do. I'd be happy with either a 42" LCD or spend a bit more and get a 42" Panasonic HD Plasma (i prefer the dark dark blacks of a plassie). I'm not going to be too choosey.. whatever's priced right at the time. Might be another year before we see something decent from laser tv, but i'd be happy to wait if it lives up to it's on paper performance.

Nice one ! Specs are wicked on that Nightcrawler. Mine's just a single core 3500, and X800 (softmodded), 1gb of corsair DDR. But it's got about a terabyte of storage and a raptor drive (love my movies).

I've got it in a vectorised Adobe Illustrator file, I think photoshop should be able to rasterise and import that. http://www.howiefied.net/sau/sticker/final/ Lol... i got in with the group buy on dell 24's.. i think we ordered about 500 of them on overclockers australia. When i'm done with my other rig, i'll take pics of that too... it's a home theatre pc, with onkyo amp, accusound 5.1 with sub, and in not too long a 42" hd plasma.

SF2 is like my all time favourite game! Should drop by one time if you ever have the urge. I run mame, so all the versions of SF are there (hyper fight, alpha, alpha2, super, etc). I've also spent a bucket load on quality happ joysticks, so it's authentic. Oh yeah, daemon tools is an awesome freeware iso busting program. Wanna see my other rig?

Btw, wanna see my rig

I hear you madaz, i do it with my legit copy of games. I buy all my games, so i can network play it. There are lots of freeware iso program making software (e.g. isobuster) and alot of low cost ones (like 30 bucks for winiso).
