shane: nexus has gone.. but yeah.. 12 months only generally on hardware. Time to buy a new one unfortunately. Luckily you can get a very good card for pretty cheaply these days.

Bugger! Thought as much.

I hadnt even OC'd this thing, just used for general desktop work and its karked it *mutters under breathe*.

Oh well, just an excuse for a newy

Yeah we just had 7 motherboards die, all within 2 to 3 weeks of each other, all bought at the same time, all the same brand and model, all just out of warrentee, not happy jan!

Yeah they can do that

They don't make boards to the same quality anymore but I guess you don't have to pay the same amount for them anymore either, so I guess build quality is the compromise made

Mornin all

Problem is with the newer boards they are using smaller and smaller micron-processes in the main graphics GPU's and things. Much more complicated than the old days, and the technology in your average graphics board is so much advanced -- in a way they're almost mini-motherboards.

They're probably so busy churning the latest architecture to market to keep up with the "other guys" and the lifespan is so much shorter, probably not as much time for comprehensive R&D over longterm reliability.

Least it translates into cheaper cost which is the main thing. I'd rather have 2x $300 boards that give me 24 months use and stay up to date, than one $600 which is so out of date in 24 months it doesn't matter

Also I'm going to try to get the Skyline letters on the back of the car to illuminate red. Might be more hassle than its worth though.

Makes it easier if you have a UBD my work is selling last years UBD for $5 they are well used, no pages missing, but just well used, the sit in the trucks and every year we buy new ones, so I'll find out if there are any left, I got a 1997 brisbane UBD if anyone wants it, for free!

[Charly]

Kudos on the organisation of this one Ska. Sounds good.

[predator]

hows the repairs on your car going anyhow? any progress or just sitting waiting?

[Ska]

Well got it towed to Gav's today, so now I guess it is just a matter of waiting for Gav to fix it, reminds me I'd better ring them up and see if it got there fine
