there's my try at showin ya my chart
who can help?
-smurf

you actually went to the trouble of copying all that out???

yeh i did
now u have to help :D

Makes sense...

NOT

exactly my problem :D
i told you it was ghey

yeah, cept i dont know how to decipher that crap

heheh yeh and u r smarter than me
we are in trouble if j00 can't decipher it
where's skullshot when ya need him?
-smurf

Just ask the person u got the computer from....

u r smarter than me

that's not hard


if j00 can't decipher

i'm not jewish


where's skullshot

he was here for about an hour then he went home cos he had a DoD war to play in...

i can't get onto him coz he went to fiji yesterday

oh, thats helpful isn't it...

as far as i can tell that equates to a rated "235W" PSU

do u just add up the numbers?

thats how companies rate the PSU they get max readings for each individual voltage line (ie. +5 can hack 4A) power (Watts) is determined by multiplying the Voltage (V) by the current (I)
P = VI

so for a +5 rail with 4Amps max its
P = 5x4
P = 20W

then they continue to test the next individual line (which might be another 5v line which they add alltogether to get the total W for 5v line)each line is tested with no other load on the other lines and so the max ratings equate to a rating much higher than the devices true capacity

so basically, a PSU rated at 235W is really only capable of outputting somefin like 150W max or somefin like that (cbf workin that out)

the thing is it all depends on the manufacturer, and how well they manipulate their numbers

ok thanks guys
235w is just enuff but dangerously
so i'm buyin a new case /w a 300w PSU
heheh it is sweet see it here

btw pardon the japanese :D
-smurf

that case looks pretty sweet... mine still wins tho :P

yeh but how much did you pay for yours?
-smurf

~$170, less 15% discount

AND mine came with 4 50cfm 80mm sunon fans, and 10 thumbscrews

yay

even without modding my case draws a lot of attention... i mean just cos its black and looks sweet and all, you'd think it wouldnt get too much attention until modded regardless.. but it still gets more attention than my old box did when fully modded out...

but if we painted your old case...

the tables would turn :P
i wanna paint mine already :(

It's black.....that's it??? So are Aptivas. Whoopdy doo.

mines gonna be modded by morb
i just ordered my window kit and i priced neons today
wot color should i go?
blue or purple?
-smurf

go purple, thats one things neons have that CC's dont, purple...


and its not jst black, its black, cool and serverish lookin...

Oh, serverish lookin....why didn't you say. That makes all the difference.

(Please note sarcasm)

Is there going to be some sort of case mod award at Morb 3??? I reckon it would be a cool idea. But the winner should be judged not only on how cool it looks, but more importantly on the originality of their mod. Everyone does the window with a fluro thing. Bring on something cool and new.

heheh yeh someone chrome dip there case

like the skull? that am roxor :P


and serverish does count - u get comp. illiterate peeps come up goin woah is that a server, it must be really powerful....

I haven't seen anyone else with something like my skulls, so by definition that does make it original. And what the hell does "that am roxor" mean you illiterate space bum.

ok I'm buyin purple

it means "that rocks"

Oh, in that case....thanks.

yeah, speaking of which, at some point we should get some write up and fotos done for the article I intend on publishing regarding that :)

I was just thinking (yes it does hurt), how about a thread where people show off their case mods. You know, give a short description and a pic......and maybe a link to a more detailed description.

Is this an article on case modding?? The thread I suggested could be like a reference for you or sumthin

its an article on just your mod.... i'm thinking "feature mod, by JT"

Really!!! Keewwl. Sweet. I feel so special :D

ack....the damn case didn't come today
ack again.....didn't get around to payin for my window
ack.....damn mum wouldn't take me to buy a neon
WOT A SHIT OF A NIGHT!!!

case didnt come - i told u they wouldnt post on a saturday....
didnt pay for window - thats laziness....
wouldt take to buy a neon - on your pushy!

fark me pushy
and i couldn't pay for the window coz mum decided to not tell me where my birth certificate was in time for me to sign up for net banking

OMG! It didn't come....
point and laugh!

Maybe she doesn't have your birth certificate coz you were adopted from Afghanistan or something.
There's got to be a reason for eveything...

heheh
maybe i was adopted from afghanistan
but then how do you explain my complete and utter hating of all dune coons?

its cos ur heads as fucked up as theirs... or just becos u dont know...

heheh...i dunno dune coons have pretty fucked up heads....

well, u just answered your own question then.

muhahaha damn i did too :D
btw i am a bleeding member :D
-smurf

you are one, or you have one?

um...both

lol... that must be painful...

god damnit!
no case today :(
it better be here tomorrow
payed for me case window
bought my purple neon and my cool switch that light up blue
-smurf

how u think I feel? it's been a week since I ordered my stuff...

i usually come in here and give the "buy local" speel...but i wont


scorptec was it?

Cause it's overpriced crap! I like to get my crap cheap.

yes, but there are reasons or why these arent here - a) the case -> the fool ordered via COD, and we ALL know what AustPost is like.... expect arrival around 1 week from postage, may be anywhere up to 2 weeks, or may get lost

b) my order - no OEM duron 1.3ghz in stock, so i'm waiting on that (although they haven't responded to my emails or icq messages to let me know if the proccys are in yet or not)

Stuff I've got from scorptec, been there winthin 2-3 days at the most.
last time they even sent it before charging my credit card.

well my case came today
it is sweet
just waitin on the neon now
i haven't had any probs with C.o.D
i ordered my speakers from U-mart in sydney C.O.D and got them in 3 days over the christmas weekend which was good
anyway hopin the window will be here tomorrow
:D
too bad bout your stuff silencer
i hate waitin especially when ya r real pumped bout the stuff u r gettin
-smurf

Ok, reason would appear to be that AMD are no longer selling OEM cpus - u can see more about this on the front page of OCM - http://www.ocmelbourne.com

so u r waiting so that u can save $10 and get it will less warranty and without a free crappy HS Fan combo...

odd, i woulda just said, send me a fukn retail u mofo

no, they didn't know until today, so i'm getting a retail for the same price less the heatsink, so i get all the extras bar the heatsink, FREE :)_

"all the extras"

which include a pretty box, case badge, 3 yr warranty, and HSF, wtf is wrong wif gettin em to send the frikn OEM hsf anyhoo

I wasn't the one who said I was going to take the HSF out and give it to me for the OEM price; they were...

window still aint here
damnit!
it should be here tomorrow
and with me home i won't have to go and pick the thing up from the post office in this shitty weather :D
-smurf

Got all our stuff, finally got it all going with some stuffing around... now when doom3 comes out both beav and i will be able to run it.... 3 player ofp will become the norm @ this household I am predicting :)

nah make that 4 player silencer
u house is now my second home :D
(when my sys is finished)

haha, thats good, there's a spare spot here too... and about 5 empty 10/100 ports :P

just remember - don't complain every time I frag you, and you can't use my internet... for anything other than chat.

heheh suits me mate
ah...but....u frag me?!? its not gonna happen :D
ne wasy my window came
I'll prolly be takin my box round to jarrods some time today if he wants me too
o yeh....It's my mum's b'day today
say happy b'day to her!
-smurf

well jarrod has said he might not have time to do the window yet... he would have done ur computer the other day except for some reason u think it wont work at all without the window installed, even when all u need to have to put the window in is the case side..

every other time i've played you you've been target practice, so what is going to be different now?

you should wait till after 6 to go round to sKs place so I can go help mod (if he ends up modding at all)

yeh i know is was jokin
yeh i'm waitin till he comes online so i can find out wots goin on
why haven't u been on icq today?
-smurf

LOL, he admits to being target practice.... riighteo then

I've been at work since 2... so

heheh only for the 1337 few that can hit me i am target practice
now to name those 1337 few....
nah list is too long
yeh well atleast u have someone to practice with
i mean i have my sis that can't even look with her mouse coz then she can't move ;)
-smurf

for clarification -

1337 few = anyone who isn't a bot, or a n00b like ur sister.

heheh nah put the bots to the 4th level and they kill me
(quake 3)

It's my mum's b'day today
say happy b'day to her!
-smurf
