Amps = Watts/Volts

Say a pc IS actually using 350w that would be

X = 350 / 240

there for 1 pc @ 350w would = 1.4583....Amps

Which means about 6 pcs (6.8567) per socket would be ok?

Or did i fudge my figures :)

Sounds a tad excessive to me though....

Haven't tripped a circuit yet.

I might be jumping in a little late or not quite on topic, but I normally have about 6 PC's running out of one power point.

If I end up with more than 6, due to space they end up on another power point (witch has a running fish tank plugged into it LOL). I'm not sure if the two power points on the same circuit or not though.

Good luck game hard!

Haven't tripped a circuit yet. :(

Hey Madaz,

this is the stuff that i am doing. At the moment this is only 69000 polys and my computer is starting to struggle with it.

i'm not sure if its only my video card that need up grading or more

I have a gig of ram which helps, The video card is only a 128mb ati radeon 9600.

got a 2.6ghz cpu

any suggestions?

How much actual RAM do you have on the motherboard ? The jerkyness when doing details could be the caused by the the image size making the program/windows write to the page file.

upgrade the ram by adding another 2 sticks and then upgrade the 3d card. if u have AGP start considering the PCI-e systems with DDR2 ram. its the way of the future. for now.

that gfx card only came in AGP my sugestion it start thinking of full upgrade can be done as cheap or as dear as u like to a certain extent

i suggest doing what i did first off... get an E6600 conroe, a 7800GTx, 1 gig of DDR2 800Mhz Kingston HyperX ram, and the motherboard, any ASUS one, will do. but DO NOT BUY ANYTHING NOW ITS JUST GETTING INTO HOLIDAY PERIOD U WILL BE RAPED. wait till after. :wave:

thats where i would go

E6600 x1900gt 2gb OCZ and a gigabyte mobo

nothing wrong with either computers just im on my 2nd pc with all those parts and havnt had any trouble even bought the gigabyte 939 board with a 3700+ for dads pc and that runs great

ive chosen a GT grafix card over XTX to keep the price down whilst still having performance to boot

**EDIT**

the DO NOT BUY LINE

i would say disregard that and change it too

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM ADELAIDE U WILL BE RAPED

shop online and you will be surprised

a quick $2,000 PC no monitor hopefully youve got 1

maybe SAZilla can do the same to show a comparison of a asus system

keep in mind these arnt the skimpiest parts and system could be built cheaper but there not the deaest parts either its a nice comprimise

this attachment is a excel document with hyperlinks to all products there will be cheaper prices in australia but ive found Scorptec to be fair and if u ask for discount you may get something also

i bought most of my gear from scorptec. They had to order stuff in like the motherboard in, but were still quicker and cheaper than buying here in SA.

Large gear like a case, HDD(s), and dvd rom i bought locally. I also bought my gpu locally incase i needed to RMA it - which i did 1 month after purchase and had a quick swap / replacement.

i bought my Gfx card from nintek cause @ that time they were the cheapest in AUS $999 and i priced the same thing in adelaide they wanted $1250 odd

i bought dads PC from the IT warehouse b4 there manager left and got great prices on everything the same manager let me return a 7800GTX after keeping it for almost 2weeks :( gave me full cash refund

EDIT

Any of you guys on OCAU? Im on there as foliage.

i think i am but dont visit there if i am i would be Madaz or Madaz_Rx8

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: [email protected] I'm not on this forum much .
