I am looking to build a desktop system to get away from racing on my laptop. Its just not fast enough to run iRacing and struggles to run LFS.

I found this bundle which i think is descent but i need some feed back. Would this be a worth while purchase to run iRacing and LFS at a efficient level with lots of FPS at descent graphics?

• OCZ (OCZ3G1333LV4GK) DDR3 PC3-10666 1333MHz Gold Edition Low Voltage 4GB (2x2048MB) Dual Channel
  
• Intel Core i3 540 Dual-Core Socket LGA1156, 3.06Ghz, 4MB L3 Cache, 32nm (Retail Boxed) (BX80616I3540)
  
• Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2 Socket 1156 Intel H55 Chipset Dual-Channel DDR3 1666/1333/1066/800Mhz 7.1-Ch HD Audio GigaLAN 6x SATA 3Gb/s 12x USB 2.0 Micro ATX
  

Thanks for the help. If its a good set up for the price what should i couple it with. tower, PS, HD and Video Card? The price is $274 CAD

Here is the link http://www.canadacomputers.com ... info.php?bundle_id=034040

Lap/Time/Location on track: 2nd Lap /3:11/ T2 (second apex)
Session: Sprint
Cars involved: 47, 26, 30
Description of the incident: Car #47 took the grass on the inside of #26 at the second apex in T2. He came back on track hitting #26. #26 was knocked into #30's right rear bumper spinning #30.

JRD, that is killer dude! Thanks so much!

One question for you tho. Is it possible for you to change up the #30 to a Number plate with a #30 on it? something kinda just back behind the front wheels on both sides like in touring cars? Here is an example ( http://api.ning.com/files/tJrP ... tEkE_/volvo_850_btcc1.jpg )


Im not trying to be picky just wondering... Thanks so much.

(EAR TO EAR)

If you can pm the skin file to me that would be great.

I need a skin for the Scrappy Standards league! Im running the XFG and was hoping someone could throw me together a skin with the Australian V8 Supercar #39 Russell Ingalls Supercheap Auto Holden's paint scheme. None of the decalling just the colour scheming. I need the #30 on a number plate on either side of the car. Preferably on the car door and then jsut the design with the black,white,yellow and orange colours.


PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

Thanks very much

could some one shoot me the link for the sign up page? Also what is the time for the race? Sunday correct?

How and where do you sign up for these grand prix? Do you need to sign up or just show up?

Cool, i bet that is nice feeling!

Im gonna try and get some work done on this shifter while i wait for the controller to get here! Hopefully i;ll get some pics and post them..... cant wait!

Thanks again for your help

Ok awesome I followed along there with yea... You explained it very well.

I went to college for electronic engineering Well i attended lol. Oh if i could have those days back. Thanks very much for your help. I am gonna order that and get to work!

Thanks again Cobra

Cobra..... I am somewhat new at this. I didnt realize that pots were the Analog input and switches or buttons were the Digital inputs. Could you explain to me how I would get 32 digital outputs from this unit!

Ok I am in the middle of building a Sequential shifter, and was going to use a gamepad for the hotkeys. I have found that the traces on the gamepad PCB are just so brittle that I cant solder anything to them with out it braking the trace right off of the board.

I was looking at this http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836/ and thought that it might be worth it just to put out the money for it? Also am I right to say that you can run pots right off of this unit? Could I use this also to contol a set of pedals if I were to build them too?

I am wanting to build pedals, switch board and shifter for my cockpit in the future! Will this device be able to control all of that?

Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks

Im looking to use a game pad because they are usually cheaper and it is solely a sequential shifter so all i need is two buttons (hotkeys) rather than axis'

Hey everyone. I need some help here. Im building a seq shifter and decided i was going to use a gamepad internals for the button (hotkey) control. I have seen alot of gamepads replicating ps2 controllers but when i took my old ps2 controls aparts i see that the wiring harness is connected to a pcb seperate from the pcb that the buttons are attached to. The connection between the two boards is just the film that has the contacts printed on it and is layed on the board to make the connection.

I want a gamepad that has the wiring harness running into the same board as the buttons are on. Could anyone recommend a gamepad like this cause i dont want to mess around with trying to keep the connection between the two boards when it is mounted in the shifter. Please help

thanks

That is the second person who has told me that! ok awesome thanks very much.

Does that sound like a good package? I stopped in at a shop and they told me they had just installed the first one and were going to test it. but the specs were supposively really great.

Keep in mind that tigerdirect.com is the American website and the prices are in USD. Check tigerdirect.ca for Canadian prices. Or better yet use canadacomputers.com because they have much lower prices than tiger. Tiger is known to have the highest prices.

How about getting a new i3 combo? They're really cheap. Then a 5750 card. And there you have a future gaming PC.

Beem3r, I can get this locally and i am looking to build a new boat to play mainly LFS on. What do you guys think about this CPU and MOBO?

I will be there! Im in Canada! anyone know wat the time conversion would be?

We have websites to upload our car setups but what about our wheel setups? Why dont we start posting our setups for our wheels. Im sure there are alot of ppl out there struggling (me for instance), because they dont know or dont experiment with alot of the options for the new wheels. Could anyone help me out with posting some of their knowledge or setups for their racing wheels?

I run a G27 and have not done much with the profiler, so I am sure it could be much better than it is. But I do not want to completely mess things up so I havent experimented much.....

Some help would be appreciated.

Sorry if this has been done already.

That is killer BOZZA! Cant wait to show it off on the track!

Z-RO 8,

Thanks very much everyone for explaining that. I am practicing to hopefully come out and race with you guys in the GTAL and in Radical Sundays in the future. Just gotta work on those PB's.

Is there a server schedule for the RSR GTAL server or just keep check when it is online?

Thanks again everyone for helping me out. I have only been racing LFS for a month or so now but its nice to have a great natured racing community like this with a bunch of great people and racers.

I just bought my self a G27 upgrading from my Logi formula GP FFB (not working cause i run vista and FFB drivers only work up to XP. LOL) Cant wait by the sounds of it most of you like it and I havent owned a G25 so not missing anything in my eyes.

If anyone knows how to get the shift lights workin in LFS please shoot me a pm.

Thanks alot for everyones feedback.

I am looking to register and join this league but i am not sure what is meant by "Server will be open to all, provided you have previously set a server PB at RSR GTAL".

Can I still join this league for the 2009/2010. How do I signing up for this league and how do I go about doing what I need to do to set a PB at the RSR GTAL server.

Also what are the GT2 specs for the FZR.

Thanks very much for your help. I hope I can get set up in this season cause it looks like great set up.

Thanks
