I know there are 4 other threads about "iz thiz computer good???!!++!!11" but this is a brand new thing i put together myself :P

Well, anywhoo.. Im working alot in 3Ds max 9 and Sony Vegas, so i was wondering if this computer would be any good at rendering scenes and such. But not just rendering, as i still wanna play LFS on it :P

About the GFX-cards, i choose two GTX280 because i have two pretty big monitors, and i also know that the motherboard dont support SLI. But that aint why i choose two GFX-cards

Two CPU's... well... just because i can :P No, im just kidding, but money aint the prob right now, the prob is to know what i need to make things run fluidly.. (yes i mean fluid as in fluid animations too)

The SSD i choose just to see how good they are, if its fast and stable i´ll use it for Win Vista 64-bit.

Oh well, Just watch the attachment and judge urselfs.. at the bottom is the price converted to $ and € for those who dont use SEK

thnx all
Edit: added the pict in PNG cause the BMP screwed up my comp :/

Quote from 91mason91 :

well it happens to me.
Maybe my power outlets are dying

maybe its just ur PSU that is weak? 'cause i have two computers, one amplifier, one lamp, my gf's hairdryer in the same poweroutlet.. nothing happends anywhere in my apartment.. still dont get it how ur TV can freeze when u use ur comp :S

edit: forgot some things. 2 mobilechargers, a wheel, my gf's bass for the comp audio system and more then all that she sometimes plugs in a sewing machine.. IN THE SAME OUTLET.. *brr* scary, happends nothing here... must be ur psu..

Here is three from me..

I for one HOPE thats they change to the REAL dash, no added "features" just because the other cars has it. i want a REAL car to look REAL (may be just me), and i hope it FEELS real too. if not im disappointed :/

btw, am i the only one stupid enough not to understand that the Scirocco is Turbocharged? *lol* just saw it when looking at vw.se :P
so, 200hp, turbo, fwd... is it a competitor to the fxo? No, i dont think so, but i really think it should be in the TBO-class, if not then it'll be a black sheep in a way

Quote from lap traffic nz :

personally i don't care if the cockpits look beautiful, i'm usually looking at the track not the dashboard...

tbch i almost NEVER use the cockpit view :hide:
only time i do use cockpit is when a new patch is out, then i drive cockpit-view for a month or so.. then im back to "user view" with only the wheels

Hell yeah, im in!

I really love the new car, and everything that comes with it!

Quote from wouterke222 :

Hello,

I downloaded LFS STROBE but everything work correct. When i'm in game and i use it, Pressing NUM LOCK then will change the setting of my fieldview. Normally it's on 86% but when i turn on it changes to 30%. No matter of i use Num, Caps, Scroll Lock. It will change. I ask on [TC] server but they couldn't help me.

So someone knows what the problem is?

Thx,

Wouter

Have you checked so that the "button for light" is G and not "5"? :P

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

I think I did have the choice, and I'm not disabled (no, really ). The downside is that a license obtained with an auto box would only allow you to drive cars with, you guessed it, auto boxes

thats what i said.. :P

and also, can someone please explain how a autogearbox behave? as nobody wanted to understand my explanation... as i want the LFs autogearbox to be as a REAL ONE.. not an automatic which changes gear like i do myself :S

and for what i know, an autobox doesn't drop as much in rpm per shift as a manual, if u have it pinned down in kickdown mode..

Quote from wheel4hummer :

Maybe a transmission without a lockup clutch, and a high stall torque converter?

wth? has ANYONE in here driven a auto IRL? then pls tell me how YOU would explain it here, so that everyone knows what type of gearbox u mean.. i did my best and actualy NO ONE understood what i meant :S

Quote from wheel4hummer :

That's a CVT...

huh? no it´s not.. in a REAL auto car, when u step on the throttle it will go to, lets say 5k, then stay at almost the same place even tho it changes gear... everyone that has driven or been driven in a auto trans car must know what im talking about.. i know my explanation aint that good, but i can assure u, im not talking about a freaking CVT :P that a completely diff thing..

Quote from BigPeBe :

+Why to have automatic gearbox in LFS? Automatic gearbox is slower and way more stupid than using proper manual.

if u take ur drivers test using a auto boxed car, u wont be allowed to drive stick. and i dont think ur allowed to race with a manual car either if ur not even allowed to drive stick on the road.. if u get my point?

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

oh...my bad but didn´t saw that anywhere, only general talk about gearboxes

i would like the auto gearbox to be a REAL one.. which has a slip clutch or whatever it is the real ones use :P i mean, so when u step on the throttle the revs go up and stay there as long as u acc... also there should be a kickdown feature...

soo.. +100 from me

Quote from [UKR] Race King :

Yeah 7600GT is much better than 6200.

Yeah, sure it is. But why not try and get a 8xxx or an 7800GTX? its better and aint that expensive either

Quote from asbjoern :

SERIOUSLY!!

read the f***ing post date

Dont get it.. if u are so bothered that he replyed in an old thread, why the hell did YOU reply after him? moron..

Quote from grog :

I have 2 monitors, left one being the main and right one a secondary, i might get another at some stage aswell in the future.

with two displays it should be some what wierd to extend the view i guess..

doesnt it only involve changing to "extend windows to this monitor" in the display tab in windows?

Quote from jonny dank :

you can add a turbo in tweak....doesn't mean he's cracking...but anyway just press shift+a and load a sound where it says dump valve. If you add a turbo to a non-turbo car it automatically adds a bov to your sounds list in shift+a.

If hes using a Tweak version w/o Licence Protection hes in mho cracking, as he is a DEMO user.. + talking about it aint so smart

First of; Stop assuming people are CRACKING their LFS just because they have a recent join-date, not everyone do that, and say they use the XRT. And as far as i know, what someone do on their own computer is their buisness not ours.

Second; Stop all that talk about nationality, when the topic is about an XRT. If someone sees themselfes as a Latvian, cause they live there, but dont speek the language, let them! If i move to another country, sure as he** i would consider myself as being one of them when i have lived there for awhile.

Third: Knowing thing about the countrys history has NOTHING todo with if ur a Latvian/American/Sweede or whatever. Im born in sweden, talks swedish, but sure as he** i know almost NOTHING about our history.. feels like i know more about American history, does that make me an American? No it doesn't.

Conclusion #1: Someone is of the nationality that HE/SHE feels like being. I KNOW that im swedish, even tho i know Swedish, English, some Norweigan, Danish and Finnish.. But NO ONE can tell me im NOT Swedish because of that.

Conclusion #2: Be ontopic. i know this AINT but i couldn't hold it in anymore as i saw all of these personal attacks.

He wanted an BMW-design for the XRT, if u know where to get it, just tell him. If not, dont take up the nationality as it has nothing to do with nothing!

I dont know, I cant drift in GT4.. Because that game is pure SHIT. You cant make a donut nothing. THERE IS NO LSD. FAKE game. game engine sux.

hehe... turn off antispinn/tcs "whatever", and u really, REALLY have wheelspin.. zero traction :P

sure in that way it´s shit... but i love the 240

Quote from 91mason91 :

yes the DFP uses alot of power for it to work and so does the G25.
With 4 things plugged in all the power is going to ther places, so the DFP tryes to suck more power therefore causes PC to lag or Tv to freeze (is in same socket as PC)

Hope this helped

Most new computers have more then ONE usb-controller.. i for one have 2 separate controllers to my front usb's.. so that shouldn't be the reason.

Haha.. excuse me, have to laugh again. HAHA! How the h*** should the pc be able to draw so much juice from the poweroutlet, to make ur TV freeze?! plls explain that to me.. ur comp can NEVER use more power then ur PSU can provide..

im not gonna stand on any1's side here... but i find this topic very interesting questions will come l8r

Quote from harjun :

thanks mate, nice one.

So this should do the trick?
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI ... e=VIP:Watchlink:middle:uk
Its pretty expensive though, are there any cheaper? I saw the VGA to Composite were £1, so why is this like £20 more

Yes that COULD do the trick.. i was looking at some sites here in sweden and all i found was a thing called "VGA to PS2/3".. and all it does is to take the yellow (video) cable and converts it into a VGA signal
