  1. For some reason I cant upload my images, It says "file larger than available space". The file is 75K and is 640X480.
  2. NICE rig. My desk is not as clean (as I have kids and a wife, so that throws out cleanliness). I like how neat your waterlines look. I would deffinitely recommend a new G card, but money is always an issue. The G card I sent back, just came back. They replaced it with a new one, so I cant wait to get it in the machine. I do like your desk set up, it is nice. I am very picky about my desk's and I havent found one I like yet. I may have to make a new one, (I do wood working also), But that is for another day. I took the pics, Just have to re size them. see ya
  3. Actually the tubing I got is really good stuff see part number at mcmaster ( 9336T3). The only problem is that it is rigid, but it will not stain. The tygon I had before was too thin in the wall, that was the major problem. Actuall we use a lot of this type at work for robotic air lines, and it holds up pretty well under stress. Of course we put it through more stress at work then it will go through on my PC. I do have the worm gear hose clamps, I dont like the look but I prefer a crappy look to a leaky hose. Besides I get them for free from work. As far as the memory goes, Yes I was running vista 64 at the time, I was dissapointed, but in a few threads I read, that Mobo at the time was the problem. I will upgrade my RAM on the new PC in a while (funds need to recover). Yea, I need to figure out what Im going to do with this RAID setup, I havent figured it out yet. I like the idea of getting a TB drive and copying it over, but I will have to see the price . I dont feel much pressure at the moment because, 1. the PC is running smooth and Im taking a break from pissing with it for now. 2. I travel on the road soon and will be gone for a month, so I need to leave the wife with a reliable PC while I am gone. SO far she runs great. I havent begun to overclock yet because I want to get the drive issue worked out. Right now If I were to back up the entire OS drive I would need 80Gig. So maybe I will back it up that way on a portable drive and then change the drive configuration, and then re- install... What do you think? Yea the pumps intake needs to be comming off the res, otherwise it is hard to feed coolant to the pump, And then it would airate the coolant if it was hooked up wrong. OK bro, gotta go. :biggrin:
  4. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: WOW, a wealth of info... Actuall when I first was setting everything up, I used tye wraps (why,? I cant remember), I did have the hose clamps, just didnt used them at the time. Plus the Hose I was initially using was very soft and easy to kink. Well once I decided that the tygon was not thick enough, I went to lowes and bought some of the re-inforced food grade tubing. It is a little stiff, but it is hard to kink. Yes I am running a GPU block on my Radeon. It is an Tyee brand block, and seems to work well. My Mother board temps seem to be much higher than my CPU, I believe it is running about 92F, Which I think is pretty cool (literally). My mobo was running about 102F, which still isnt that bad. I did get rid of the Acrylic reservoir I origionally had, due to a crack in the frame (caused a small leak). I have a bay reservoir now, And I feel I need one, so that it is easier to fill the system, and it is easier to bleed out the air, and monitor the fluid level. I only bought 2 Gigs of RAm because I almost shit when I saw the price, I paid 400+$ for 2 gigs. Now I have to say I am running Vista 64 Ultimate, and when I had my previous version computer I had 4 gigs for Coursair (2 sets of matched pairs), the system would only recognize 3.3 gigs Like you said. I do believe it was the Mobo that caused that, But I cant remember. But I know Vista 64 had nothing to do with it, because That is what I was running when I had 4 gigs on the MOBO. Now you talk about that I will need to Change my RAID, what you say makes sense, but How can I remedy this without having to do a fresh install? I have no problem buying another HD, But will I be able to transfer my OS to the new configuration without messing it all up? As far as the old pump, I am not quite sure what happened with it except the fact that it burned up. Maybe from Too Many start ups or shut downs? Maybe the coolant got in there too. What I have noticed with this coolant is, 1. yes it is non conductive 2. it is sticky 3. it is difficult to clean off. I probably wont buy it again. Once it got onto my mobo, it ran into every crevice it could find. That sucked sooo bad. I had to hose off that new board the first day (when I was bleeding the air out of the hoses), I went through 6 cans of contact cleaner, But she works now. Thansk for the info. :thumbsup:
  5. Heres an Update on my PC status. Well,,,,,,,The liquid cooling seemed to be more of a hassle than I expected, but I got it done.. (Git R Done). I had a few leaks initially and ended up gumming up the RAM slots. Only 2 work on the forst motherboard I was using. Pissed me off. So I tried to clean thewhole works with contact cleaner you can buy at advance auto. It helped but didnt fix everything. So I decided to Get a new MOBO with an Intel quad processor (2.4 GHz X 4) SWEET. But I had to buy the new type of RAM DDR 3 which cost 400$ for 2 gigs.. OUCH!!!. I had to replace the Water pump I had beacuse that burned out, I had to get another reservoir because that one (acrylic) cracked some how. Long story short It is all working and now this is my system: Asus P5K3- Deluxe 2 Gigs corsair RAM DDr3 Intel 775 Quad core 2.4GHz ATI 1900XT Video card (512Mb RAM) 1-320G HD 1-500G HD (both HD running in RAID0 together) 1000W power supply (a good one) forgot the name. Lights and pretty things And of course the liquid cooling. I will post some pics soon. Also, I will install the other PCIX ATI graphics card (1900XT) as soon as it comes back from repair. So Back to the dual G cards. :biggrin: Peace out
  6. use loctite on the new one!!! :biggrin:
  7. Has anyone used the copperhead CDI from Velocity devices? I read some good reviews on it, so I went for it. Since I am poutting 27" tires on my grizzly (increase 2"), I heard you loose some low end, since I am putting on Mudzillas and they are a heavy tire, I think I will need all of the horsepower I can muster. http://www.rmstator.com/index.php/ATV/Yama...rizzly_660/1789 I did get the programming kit, so I can update the firmware and change the mapping when needed. Anyway, has anyone had good luck with this? I am suprised that I didnt see one for the banshee by the same company.
  8. his ass looks like a plastic bag with 10 pounds of ricotta cheese in it.
  9. I just came out of the grocery store yesterday and low and behold, there is a byclist dude in his gay bike wear. Yellow/ green stretchy shit advertising for something bicycle related. Standing there with his crotch all buldging in his stretchy shorts, drinking a gatorade, and talking on his cell phone. What a tool. He kept looking around, like he was expecting someone to say "hey will you be my friend, can I join your dumb ass biker club too?" Its funny because most of them look like they are sponsored to run some race, and are training for a marathon. Some probably are, but fuck em if they get in my way.
  10. What do you mean spend more on hardware?, I have 2 ATI 1900 Xt Video Cards (900$ for both) running in crossfire. I have an AMD 64 X2(2.2 GHZ on each core) processor. I have the best mobo I can get, Asus A8n32-mvp deluxe. 4 Gigs of ram (2 sets of matched pairs (400$). I have 900 GB of internal HD storage. I have a 22" widescreen monitor, and a 17" flat screen. I dont see where I could spend more money, I bought all of this 1 year ago, so It was top of the line at that time. The coolant equipment Was rated pretty good, and most of it was recommended by danger den and other sites. The only thing I would change about the cooling equipment I purchased is the size of the radiator, I want to go bigger, But am usure if it will fit in the case, So I will wait till I assemble it to see if I can squeeze in a larger radiator. As far as the coolant goes, I didnt know about seperation, hopefully the stuff I got is good, it cost 35$ a bottle, and is supposed to be good shit. We will see. I have had this system up and running for about a year and have had no hardware issues, except for one of my video cards, I need to send it in for repair, since its under warrenty, it shouldnt be a big deal. I am still waiting on the case and a few other items. I will take heed on your crap building up and pre clean everything, hopefully that will help prevent crap build up. Thanks
  11. I have ordered the Danger Den Water box plus. http://www.dangerden.com/store/product.php...at=1&page=1 I have bought a bunch of water cooling crap to put in the box, tons of lights and shiznizzle bling bling. :cool: Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has seen these before. I am getting a couple of images laser etched into the Acrylic, on the top I am having a scary dragon put in the center, on the full side I am having eschers staircase. I hope it comes out sweet. For the pump I have an acrylic see through pump, with red blood looking coolant, and a light in the pump to light up the coolant through the system. of course all of the hoses will be clear. I also have some green glow wire to spiral around the coolant lines. Then I have 6 Flourescent tubes of various colors (ultravilot, blue, red and green) I will have to see what looks best. The guts to my computer are an AMD athalon 64 X2, Asusu Mobo 8R32-MVP Deluxe, ATI Radon 1900XT (512 Mb), 4 Gigs ram, 2 SATA HD (1 320Gig, 1 500 Gig). Running Vista 64 Ultimate on a 22" widescreen monitor, and a 17" above it all. If anyone has done this before let me know any pointers you have on assembly. I will post pics once she is done.. I hope to put it together this weekend if my case ships in time.
  12. a "hari" dryer may not get hot enough. I would try a good heat gun. I havent used the propane torch before, but if you do,, be careful not to melt the plastic.
  13. Nice!!!!!!
  14. I went through that crap. I Bought my ATV in ILLinois, it came with a certificate of origin, I moved to NY and registed it, I turned in my Cert of origin, and got this stupid card. No Title. Then I moved to PA and went to register it, and went through a little crap to get that done because i didnt have a title. If you can, KEEP your Cert of origin, that way you have some form of documentation, that card is easy to loose, it doesnt even look like much. NY registration sucks.
  15. I like it. Thats good
  16. I really hate those guys. Im driving down a tight twisty turning road with my jet skis behind my truck, and those Fuckers always are in my way at the worst possible moment. I thought there are bike trails for those assholes. It wouldnt be so bad if they were doing 50-60 MPH, but noooo their doing 15-25, with all kinds of traffic behind and comming the other way. I just wanna hit them. My wife says I need to calm down, I say fuck em.

    Little Johnny

    Little Johnny kept getting into trouble for disrupting his third grade class, seems he was regularly busting out obnoxiouysly loud farts. His teacher kept him after school to have a talk with him and, maybe, resolve the problem. When she insisted on knowing why he exhibited such offensive behavior, Little Johnny said,
  18. You can use a few sites to save videos from you tube. My favorite is http://keepvid.com/ You put the URL into the line at the top of the Web site and it will allow you to save the file. Not sure what format it is in, but it works. There are many sites out there that will do it.
  19. I havent tried to use DIVXtoDVD, does it work for multiple formats or just DIVX? I use 2 other programs to convert formats, they are ALLOK and IMtoo. Both work well to convert a DVD to any format I need (MP4, AVI, MP3,Xvid). I like it for my Archos portable video player. I was able to convert my South Park episodes for my PVP, and other crap I have. I have not tried to convert those files to DVD though, I would assume it would work both ways. Both of those programs cost if you want the full version, or if you find a crack it would be free.
  20. Thats cool, I like denzel. He has put out some cool movies.
  21. Best way IMO: Decript the disc with DVD Fab decripter Shrink with DVD Shrink DVD shrink will use nero to burn it, once it has been shrunk. If you ave a fast computer, you should be able to get it all done in about 1/2 hour.
  22. could it be that after replacing the valve, that it needs to be adjusted. Mybe there is too much water pressure going to that valve, and that is why it is making ice all of the time.
  23. Well, when Im am not doing maintence on my bike or vehicles, I am working on my RC airplanes, and my REVO. But I also have a Nice woodwoking shop, and am currently working on a few projects. Besides I have to save some time for the kids, and since the wife doesnt put out anymore, I dont have to worry about spending time with her. F'n non givin it up Biatch.
