edit: be careful on the the chart, when it says SLI or Crossfire, it means its running 2 video cards

Hey and while I'm tripping on Graphics cards, why is their a few, like this one > http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814102837
......that have no cover on them, and look uglier than shit ? Nobody seems to care I guess, as this one gets great reviews, and it's only $125 too !
Come on guys...... I can see myself being up till' 2am again, beating myself to death over Graphics cards......
Freaking AADD

that one is a 4850, and for about the cover, it depends on the brand of the video card(example, sapphire, powercolor, evga), its their decision on what cover/heatsink/fan to put on on their video cards.
take at look at this article, tomshardware is very reliable.

should guide you well.
edit: changed the link

kent, send me link to those plz? and 8k is too white??? damn lol
^above post, idk maybe they sent me a wrong bulb, but its not as blue as i though. its white with a hint of blue. as white as meade's f150 hid, i was expecting it to be a bit bluer, but its all good i really like it, very easy installation. maybe about half an hour(the high/low comes with a relay, so it takes longer compared to the hid w/ only low beam, which doesn't have a relay)
-
-
i just installed a 8000k hid bought from ebay for $79 which has HI/LOW. I really love it, perfect brightness, but its a bit too white for me, i was looking for more of a bluish tone(maybe because i only had the HID for a couple of days?)
if it breaks, oh well it has a year warranty or if not i can just get a replacement for not that much
-
that video card is overkill IMO, you can get a way with a 9600gt for your application.
-
good choice on the parts mayne specially the PSU. listen to newls1, he knows his shit.
may i add a recommendation? did you already get the hard drive? cause if not just go with a 1TB, you can get one for $79 now a days. cuz when i built my pc i always thought i will not need a lot of space, so i only got a 320gb at that time(very tight budget build) and now im regretting it. well you can easily add another one, but for a minimal price difference you can just go with the 1 TB.
Will all that good components that you have, you may want to try overclocking(just a lil bit for now, then go big later when you upgrade the cooling) and doing a raid setup in the future.
which case did you get? (just curious)
-
i don't know if this helps but on my ford explorer 2000 it has 1 belt for all the accessories. you loosen it by loosening the tensioner using a 3/8 socket
-
IMO don't get one big amp and run it @ 1ohm because it will have a high imp rise(well i really can't tell but most likely it will).
i suggest getting another 3500d and running it @.5ohm each, you'll see major major difference.

Thanks guys!
As for the filter page, it's fixed now... I did all this debugging and digging and I found out that all it was missing is to output the damn rendered html page... I wonder how that got deleted :\
Best thing about programming though is that some problems are so simple that you overlook and find yourself fixing shit that doesn't need to be fixed. haha.
And start getting some stories up people!
Also, what does everyone think of the layout on the eyes and such?
good to see a fellow programmer here, the fucked up thing in programming is when the error on the code is just a 1 character typo and it takes you a whole day to figure what it is.
nice concept, hope your site booms!
like tejcurrent im also taking my degree in computer science.

have you guys tried using CA glue + saw dust on your boxes?
when i was in the Philippines for a vacation couple of months ago, i talked to a famous box builder there and he said he uses CA glue + saw dust, he also said it dries quicker and the best thing is you can use it soon after you finish the box.
-
this is how i build my boxes.
Glue, Clamp, Predrill, Screw, take off clamp, then move on to the next side.
the screws basically clamps the pieces together until the glue dries.

ouch, i have that same model 300.. its gonna be hard to get loud bass into the cab. the rear seats have a thick honey-comb layer of plastic behind the foam padding.
i removed the plastic. (but now the rear seats kind of 'sag' when you sit down on them, i never have rear passengers so i could care less).... the trunk rattles like crazy! (even when i was running off 600rms)
good luck on the build man.
if you find any tips or tricks be sure to let us know
*Here's some stuff i found useful to deaden the rattle (copied from a 300 forum, *Replace the edead with any other material*)
After 5 layers of dynamat+fatmat on the lid, and 3 laters of fatmat on the actual trunk i have close to ZERO trunk rattle.
thanks for the tip ill forward him this topic so he can read this.
i'm sure he'll just pull down the seats when he's bumping though. we'll see what happens, i can't wait to hear it in his car.

nice work.
what year 300?
it looks like this
, the one on the pic is a 300c, not sure if he has a 300c.

i met up with a local guy and gave him a demo, well with my 2 10" fi SSD and sundown 1500d it got him interested in getting 2 10's for his ride.
in short he wanted to do 2 10's but with double the power.
his setup:
2 10" Fi Q w/ BP power + extra spider(i think), scott said he'll beef it up so it can handle 1.5k rms better.
sundown 3000d which will be ran @ 1ohm
1.9 cu. ft box after displacements tuned to 30 hz right now(stock port length, no cutting yet), but will be changed to 35 or 38hz.
using a 4" aeroport. I was worried at this at first because the port might be too small, but i hooked it up to my 1500d and there is no port noise at all(should be because of the circular design plus the flares.
more pics tomorrow

Im sure it would be a louder score if you did a burp (prob the freq that made the whipers move) instead of that sine wave. Youll be saving a little on battery power for 1, and for 2 the freq change in the wave is so fast that the wave doesnt play long enough for the meter to record a full score. Usually about 3-5 seconds long.
Just an idea for nextime you meter.
x2, you shouldve asked them what your peak freq was and next time just burp the frequencies around it.
then ask them again where you are the loudest and next time just do that freq+ some other if you want.

now thats some excursion!

derrick has always had very good results with subs up port to the driver's side. and right now i have my 2 10's facing up and port on the driver's side, so far haven't tested it for numbers but it does sound loud.
-
obviously computer enhanced, but great effects though!

pm sent
and what camera did you use to take those pictures?
i didn't receive the pm, i used a canon rebel xsi with 50mm f1.8 lens

Infinity 6820CS 5 x 7 perfect for ford and mazda vehicles.
SOLD

that looks really loud! you should try and put 12k watts on them for a burp and see if the windshield breaks! lol
