Been a while, but I am currently restoring the case of an Original Xbox. Going for a different colour scheme though. Hopefully turns out nice!

Cool!

I nabbed an i5-750 with and EVGA FTW 200 motherboard for $144 shipped that comes in tomorrow, I think I'll end up liquid cooling it and clocking the crap out of it. I miss liquid cooling.

Thats pretty good!


I managed to pickup an I7 3770 with an Intel mobo for $110.
The mobo had a questionable pin so I sold it for $20 untested and bought a $50 mobo.


Total cost $130 and I already had RAM, SSD, HDD, PSU and case laying around. I sold it to my gf for $400. I could of sold it for double that to a stranger but she needed a PC and wanted to buy it haha.

I love my i5-750, I have it overclocked to 4 GHz

Greetings, everyone. The names DICE, my Celica has been with me and the family for nearly six years now and over the years, it has evolved. But I'll make a thread explaining the rest of the story of my car in the near future. Anyway, now that that's out of the way. I see some of you fellas like electronics. Well, luckily for you guys, I'm a big video game enthusiast, I collect and play games most of the time whenever I am not driving my Celica. Today, I've been playing my FAT Playstation with a custom disc spindle that I gave it just a week ago. It has better quality compared to the original one as those are easy to crack over time.

Long long story short, I never got it but I got a refund.

Current project, figure out why these XM-L2 LED's seem so under driven and see if I can crank them up a little bit. It's probably because they're under driven, I'd like to see 1500 Lumen out of the light instead of the 800-1000 it feels like it has now.

Anybody else into speedcubing / rubik's cubes in general lol? I just picked up a V-Cube 3 the other day and so far I'm liking it.

[Box]

I have a Rubik's cube, made of mundane plastic and stickers though.

[PegGTS]

I'm slowly collecting more and more lol...

[Box]

2x2 cube?

[PegGTS]

Yup, it's not as easy as you might think

[Box]

Statistically it must be easier.

I've spent some time learning how to set up a PS2 emulator on my desktop. As long as you've got a decent video card you can crank up the settings and run games in real time and graphics that are good enough to run games like Gran Turismo. (which is all i really want to play)

The one I'm running is called PCSX2, it's just a small program that's easy to find. Then you need to acquire a BIOS file by searching forums and webpages until someone will nonchalantly point you toward one. It is also even easier to find a copy of the game disk, Gran Turismo 4 in my case, and then find a copy of somebodys save data. I found a save for Gran Turismo that has all of the licenses and a Trillion Credits. (not exaggerating)

This way I can just buy whatever I want and go play the game for a little while and not have to sacrifice every hour of the next several months to build up the game.
It all took me about a half a day or so of searching internet forum posts to figure out the whole thing.
Then you get an Xbox controller with the USB adapter and it will just plug-n-play for Windows then you're rolling.

Check out all the cool Cars I has

Of Course I have a GT4












How about a RWD 7th gen with 590hp?





2nd Gen MR2




Audi TT




and a Bad Ass Lotus

2ZZ-GE Elise has no torque listed, I'm dieing over here!

[rentaspace]

Speaking of emulators, I have set a Raspberry Pi 2 Up with RetroPi to emulate some NES, N64 and older DOS games.
This will eventually be connected to the HDMI port on my headunit and I'll try get a USB NES controller to work with it so I have retro Gaming in my dash

[PegGTS]

Just finished custom painting one of my N64 controllers, it's Lexus Molten Pearl. Pretty pumped with how it came out, the pictures don't do it justice.

I'm not usually big on the the red, yellow, and orange colour spectrum but I like that. I feel like playing Pokemon Snap or Stadium now for some reason.
