The "New Toys" Thread

i'll give you a hint, the picture wasn't taken in the UK or AU

^ Er maybe that hes on the wrong side of the road? :lol:



guys... I think Lilleput is just taking the piss at Solberg's "care to elaborate" reply.

I could be wrong though..... Maybe Lilleput genuinely can't see the epic fail in that picture.
 
I got my new gaming pc up and running, meaning windows is installed, and I'm too tired to carry on installing drivers and stuff.

Specs:
MSI P6N Diamond 680i SLI LGA 775 motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0ghz dual core processor
XFX 8800GT Extreme 512mb gfx
Corsair XMS2 2x1gb DDR2 800
Creative Xf-i sound (came with the mobo, integrated)
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610w EPS 12v PSU
Cooler Master Centurion 590
Seagate 250gb HDD
Sony NEC sata dvd rw

If I can get my hands on a camera, pics will follow.
 
Very nice! :D

Awesome! We need pics! :D
 
^ Dunno, I guess we all know how that kinda stuff looks ;-)
 
Can you play pc games with that? Like what can you run CSS on (if you have it) and what are the fps?


So I haven't tried yet, but: apparently the core is equivalent to one of the geforce 8000 series (not sure which one) but the drivers are more oriented towards cad/cam stuff. But you can get it to perform like a gamer card with driver switch.

I bought it for three reasons:
1. CAD: ProEngineer (for fsae)
2. Lotus Suspension software (for fsae)
3. Compiling linux fast (I want to get into kernel development)
 
Just picked up my 16GB Cowon D2! :dance:

Extremely excited, but copying 15GBs of music over is painfully slow :thumbsdown:
 
Saitek R660 GT

for which to play GRID (and maybe Dirt again) with

(the only other wheel was the logitech which was too old and too expensive)
 
Not exactly a toy, but I finally managed to procure a roll of film for my mum's 30 year old all manual camera. At 1:30 am at a 24/7 petrol station of all places. :mrgreen:
