Hey i'm not a fan on those crazy looking boxes with holes and flames in em.

I just have a nice big black box

I built this myself about this time last year.

Athlon 64 Socket 939 3200+

Dual 6600GT's

ASUS SLi-Deluxe MB (was the best board money could buy at the time)

Dual layer DVD burner

And seperate CD burner

17inch LCD 8ms monitor

And my dads old Logitech speakers.

Pretty happy with it but am still using my old 80gig hdd so i really need to get a new one.

I also have too many consoles

Gameboy

Gameboy pocket

Gameboy Advance

Gameboy Advance SP

Nintendo DS

Sony PSP

Atari Lynx

Super Famicom (japanese SNES)

Sony Playstation

Sony Playstation 2

Sega Saturn

Sega Dreamcast

Nintendo Gamecube

And i have hundreds of original games for all of them.

Been playing games since i was 4 years old (21 now) And am picking up my XBOX360 at midnight on the 22nd of this month.

I'll post pictures of it all at some stage maybe if i can be stuffed.

LOL.... Hey there Madaz :D

I just realised you're the only other person ive seen with the same box as me - Thermaltake one!

Btw...did you get the fans working correctly? all four with the control at the front? Mine didnt come with

instructions as it was the display box (got it cheaper)...

Oh..and a few games i noticed you're missing:

1) Need for Speed Most wanted

2) Unreal Tournament

naw i never bothered to hook them up to the controlers i got the 1 on the back working and 1 on the side and that all i can look for manuals for you :D save u tearing ur hair out :kiss:

i played the demo of NFS:MW but didnt think it was worth my money

UT did grab me either as i prefer simulated RL combat not alien or made up beings... saying thast i almost bought UT2004 for the total conversion mod Red Orchestra which i will prolly buy on Steam for the source engine

and i do wanna get COD2

who pays for games?...pfft. :D

:) I think i have a common theme here :P

Madaz: I manage to get all four fans working, but i only have control of a few of them and even that is arguable (i know they all work, just not sure if the actual fans react to my changes on the dials). If you can find a user manual or the likes for the case that would be great :P

Nah not yet, my mate(bowzer) and i both run with S14's and can get some team slide happening quite often, have even made up D1 comps of our own with other mates. You slide on GT?

cool, yeah i used to do it heaps. I'll find some of my vids and post 'em up for ya :)

I wish GT4 had the same physics... it seems to be alot harder to slide like in GT3 :P

yeh do it, Yeh GT4 has heaps of issues with the slide, Thats all we do these days on GT, what track do you slide mostly? Were well into Seatle, thats our fav, but can slide Trial Mountain, Grand Valley, Laguna Seca, Deep forrest and of course SSR5 wet and dry, generally use the sprinters in the wet!

Joolz, just saw your S14a sliding.........Nice work! It's killa when you can get links happening, but we generally go for hell switch backs on entry, Might try and save some, dunno how to transfer onto computer tho! Or we could hook up for some sliding..........and you could do it! Would have to bring my own car tho!!!!

Hey guys..

I can't believe you guys pay retail for the games..lol

my suggestion, go to www.zest.co.th

and buy your games there...

cheaper just to buy cd key and download the game..

e.g.bf2 key--- after money conversion from thailand only $20 bucks...

I bought my bf2 and cod2 there...

and madaz... ur ventrillo server...I log in and half the time ur away..lol...

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
