btw Andrew when you stop doing reports and actually read this are you likely to be home around 1:20pm tomorrow you can copy win7 disc or install it what ever

Hehe not quite finished reports yet, but having a bit of a break .....

Nah mate, it is the wife's birthday tomorrow so am taking her and Tyler out to lunch.

Can u burn a copy for me and chuck it in my letterbox? I will be your best friend .... but is cool if u don't, as I won't be upgrading my PC for a few more weeks yet - so is no hurry. I am still running the Beta on my Sempron 3000+ box.

lol Karl that aint big, my missus has the Acer 8920G 18".

I personally prefer the real small stuff for portability.......mine's a 13" Benq and I'm looking for something even smaller that I can chuck under my arm whenever I do reports in the car or have to show a client some video.

lol i know it's not a big one, but carrying it on a plane lots means i need something portable, 13 inch probably wouldn't be big or powerful enough for what kind of work i do.

What model 13inch do you have?

yeah my 13" is pretty long in the tooth now (approx 3 years old) hence why I'm looking for something else.

I mainly use it for reports and capturing video for clients......seems quick enough for that....although it's on 240V when capturing and battery power when presenting the video.

Get an ASUS EEE 901 Go. 9" Screen, 4 hrs practical battery life (more if u run it with power saving) dual 1.6ghz clock, 1 gig of ram (upgradable to 2) and 12 gigs of storage on the XP model (which can be upgraded to a bigger & faster SSD). The GO model has inbuilt Next G modem so you can get a simcard and put it inside the laptop and get broadband that way.

I got a standard 901 which uses my mobile phone for next G data (via bluetooth). It rocks

How many GB do you guys use in a month on your internet?

Im with BigPond ADSL Liberty (25GB) 20000/1000kbps then slowed for $99.95 monthly. Im using 25gb in two weeks sometimes then getting kicked back to dial up. The next plan is (60GB) 20000/1000kbps then Additional usage $0.15 per MB $149.95 monthly. Im worried i might go over the limit and get a big bill(Done before on a old bigpond plan and got a bill just over $1000) My computer is left on most times downloading music,movies,programs and im bit of a youtube freak.

Im not sure if there is a plan that is as fast as the one im on now and has a set price for unlimited downloads?

Also what is a good wireless modem then will let me use my desktop and laptop togather.

40 gigs.

Internode costs us around $60 per month for 40 gigs and thats on adsl2+. we dont pay for uploads like telstra clients do.

Also what is a good wireless modem then will let me use my desktop and laptop togather.

Linksys WRT600, 610, 650. Good hardware

-D

cruzin 33 you are getting absolutely raped by Te$tra - why anyone would ever be with them is beyond me .... like Ben said, comparable plans to yours are less than half the price with anyone else.

I pay $120 per month for 60Gb (which is about to be doubled to 60Gb peak, 60Gb off-peak for no extra charge) with Adam, and that is no crappy ADSL1+, which is more expensive than ADSL2+.

And yes, I bust my download quote every month. Hence my array of 4Tb total storage :)

Furk me I have never seen a lappie with a 20" screen! Look at the screen size compared to the keyboard to get an idea of the lappie's size.

Talk about the least portable laptop ever .... but would be awesome to have one with a screen that size as a desktop replacement.

Yeah well I have nextg wireless, 10GB download (throttled) at around $129 a month (got 12 months half price offer so its around $65 ATM) But I dont really have any other choice (literally). Must say it does move fairly well for wireless though. I downloaded a file without dropping below 340kb/s.

ADSL1 = pair gains, if not on pair gains line is too long

ADSL2 = not in the exchange ATM - but even if it was wouldnt work anyway probably

Cable = apparantly my street physically has it, but its open ended.

Satellite = heard we cant get the government subsidy here (because the area does have broadband)

So yeah I'm a lil stuck lol.

I live in a roughly 5 year old estate amongst new houses, and a house around the corner was up for sale at $1.5m. No wired broadband here lol.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
