heres an updated pic of my rig i got my new fanatec csr elite wheel package today and dam its awesome ill be playing gt5 and forza 4 most of the weekend out in my loungeroom on my samsung 55" 3d led tv i think

you have an actual nvidia case? You win some comp?

And please for the love of god get a better sound system from that thing - you look like you invest a lot on your PC what with the car addons and such. You sound like you enjoy an imersive experience again with the driving thing but your speaker system looks like your running of a logitek 300 buck cheap 5.1 out of a really really bad included sub with power supply and speaker terminations.

How can you justify such bad sound/ audio/ music to yourself?? its madness!

lol i know my speakers suck it is on my to do list

im getting a racing simulator next, then ill do speakers if you can suggest some good ones for me please?

is this 1 any good?

Pff BF3 desktop. Worst game out right now.

Hey smokin_mitch i have somhttp://www.netplus.com.au/product/CN ... er_Pedalse cash to blow this arvo is it worth getting a g27 setup for $299? i don't mind paying the extra to get it asap..

dont waste your money on a g27 they suck, save and get a fanatec package they are way better

check this online store out the only place to get fanatec gear in aus

http://www.pagnianimports.com.au/

if you want a really good wheel setup get the csr package if you want the best get the elite package

I don't have that much to blow lol. To late anyway.

you should have waited till you could get the basic csr package much better bit of gear the wheel itself is way better, the shifter is better and most important the pedals are in another league with the load cell for the brake and full adjustability


i suppose the g27 is ok to start off with and when you get hooked on racing with a wheel you will want a better setup, my 1st wheel was a fanatec 911 turbo wheel iv still got it laying around but the power supply is dead waiting on a new one to be delivered from hong kong then im offloading it to a mate

S_Mitch that fanatec looks pretty dam cool, But the G27 isn't bad at all...Audi if you already went ahead and bought the G27 don't worry you won't be dissapointed. Here is a pic of my driving sim, all I really play is GT5.



btw S_Mitch whats your nick on PS3 ill add ya, maybe once Audi gets his setup we can all have a race on GT5. Be awesome fun...I'm sure Audi would have GT5.

is gt5 worth getting iv heard mixed reviews on it?

I love it, best racing game to date imo...although I have played for quite some time im in need of something else. Whats another really good driving sim for the PS3?

dont know bro, i fad forza 3 and 4 on xbox and i think that might ruin gt5 for me cus iv heard its alot better

Well i just had a few drives of manual with clutch of dirt 3, in 3d to and its **** great for 300.

Good to know, but do you have GT5?

nothing they make should be considered "good" in terms of quality audio reproduction - its a computer brand that make ok keyboards better mouse and terrible (but yes very affordable) speakers. Some companies should stick to what they know.

I had it but I thought it was terrible. It seemed so dated by the time it got released and don't get me started about trying to buy used cars.

Here is my pride and joy, these pics don't really do her justice.

removed cuz of the gayness of external site.
u jelly

What of your Apple IIe?
Just hit up some f1 2011 **** it's awesome with a wheel. Feels like second nature with the paddle shift rather than the gearbox. Already busting out good times.
Nice case majic, is that a pci ssd I see?

look how neat it is, no wires all over the place and so clean!

nice playseat im looking at getting a simulator as using my office chair is lame and gives me a sore back after a few hours of racing im leaning towards this

http://www.pagnianimports.com.au/racing ... ckpit.html

ill prob buy it in a week or 2

very nice pc Majic

SSD IN DA HEEZY AND LIAN LI IN DA HEEZY

FFFFFUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuu

lol

Loving the wheel, why did I never get one before??

im to scared to get a wheel haha, i have a glass desktop and im afraid ill get to aggresive changing gears and crack the **** thing

thats why you get a wheel stand or sim ****

Majic, what Lian Li case is that? Also, do you fine Lian Li cases any louder than other cases because of their lighter frame?

Lian-Li PC-V2120B, so glad i spent the extra cash to get something decent. Love this case, won’t be changing it for a while.

Actually I’ve found it to be more soundless than anything else I’ve owned in the past. It has a **** load of insulation though, noise reduction foam, anti-vibration screws etc.

Lian Li's are legit. But I want a SilverStone SG07B soooo bad.

The g27 has been returned. Was having dramas with it..

GASP

What was wrong with it?

get a csr elite package they are the bomb....

I had to reboot my pc and when it came back on it didn't function and I had a flashing green light on the shifter. Was an easy fix thou, by changing USB port. But after this incident the wheel seemed to have a mind of its own, as well as weaker force feedback.
When I first got the wheel it was working great with f1 2010. But when I installed f1 2011 there was no feed back. I found this is a comman issue and a fix is to run in 60hz mode and use vsync.
This issue happens when the frames per second are to high. Wtf right?.
Whilst I got feed back with this fix I wasn't happy about it. Also driving down a straight the wheel would yank hard right on it's own. Another case of it having its own mind.
I'd had enough.. Got my money back.

Thats a shame audi, mine is still working perfectly fine considering I opened up the thing entirely to fix the internal brackets on the steering wheel. I've been pretty rough with it to, must of just got a dud i guess...you can try the fanatec but I wouldn't spend that much on something thats heaps of fun when you first get it then the novelty kinda wears off. But if you are right into it, then I'd invest in a sim/fanatec setup...

I bought a Losi 1/16 brushless rc to get me through the weekend.
But yeah getting another wheel is on the cards for sure. They are great fun.

sif not get a 1:10

Nah 1:5 petrol is where it's at. GPUjoe crashed mine, bent the chassis so I sold it... Ain't that right joe..

oh dear..

It was about $200 just for the chassis and I cbf as it was getting long in the tooth. The thing had a good life thou. Loads of use, each tank of fuel was over 30mins.
Will get another one one day. They are beasts.

Check this video of me cutting up.

I've got one of these Audi, STR 8 MB brushless R.T.R 1/18 last year but I stacked it really hard into the gutter showing it off to mates. It's caused a little internal damage but nothing that can't be fixed, engine rattles and the battery bracket snapped off. I'll get around to fixing it some day...these **** at hobby shops must make a killing on parts.

They are bloody quick for their size. Although I don't have lipo's for mine yet.
These are the kits i've had over the years, plus part and a lot of these needed a separate controller. They have made a killing off me...

Only costs $500 though.

Only*

Did some fiddling around inside the case today so took a pic. Note that in this pic the graphics card shroud is removed but I have since put it back on. The fan attached to the HDD cage is in place via velcrotape and a cable tie. I'm going to disable it soon to see whether the temp improvements on the top GPU were due to a new application of thermal paste or if it's the additional feeding air straight into it.

Indeed, its expensive as. But look at that thing! id sexually violate it if it was physically possible.

It is possible.

Look at this ****

Wait, what are we looking at?
