that is an awesome setup.....but i am with you on this Andrew....water and electrical components dont mix :)

water cooling is only dangerous when you use water ;P

there are proper coolants available that are non conductive, as well as all-in-one premade units like the corsair cpu cooler found here

which i have used on several of my recent builds - theyre awesome...

otherwise, you can completely immerse your components in an inert solution, such as here :

one of the earliest examples of this they used canola oil - which obviously isnt great to get on components as its thick and a pain to remove off components - the proper coolants evaporate like alcohol once components are removed from the solution bath

its good stuff, but way expensive for the most part

Thats a sexy piece of hardware I reckon... pity about the price.

quite pretty but there is a good reason the cost is so high, and that is the atx connector backplate at the rear of the motherboard - sealing that section off to stop leaks is pretty difficult however these guys make their own gaskets and use a brace to keep the pressure on the case

incidentally some mainframe/datacentre computers are 100% immersion watercooled because of the huge amount of heat distributed from all the cpu cores

gonna buy that very corsair water cooler next fortnight - hopefully this coming summer it'll be sufficient to keep my system totally cool

Firefox is giving me the shits.

Go do add this theme: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/64006/

Tells me i am using 3.0.8, go to help, about firefox, says version 3.6.4. Tried restarting, no good. wtf? do i uninstall and reinstall?

Some help required lads, my sis tried to connect to the net the other day only to have firefox chuck up a message that it was configured to use a proxy server that was not allowing connections or some jazz.

I went into internet options and selected 'auto-detect proxy setting for this network' so i can go on the net, just wondering if I should leave it on that or will it be (more) vulnerable to attacks/people fking with my pc, or could that even be the case as to why the error came up in the first place?

Only tick it if she's running a proxy server... which I highly doubt unless the PC is in a business location.

THat option on or off wont change anything to do with people attacking it.

Excuse me ladies and gents.

It's not so much computer oriented.

Do any of you know how to make my LG BD560 blu ray player region free? I remember doing it for my old LG dvd player years ago. It was some code I had to enter in.

I am having trouble finding anything about unlocking the region code on the net.

Any help would be fantabulous. PM me if ya can.

Saves cluttering up this thread with my useless shiznit

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
