Kai suggested this video card. It's not that much more. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131374 PowerColor AX6850 1GBD5-DH Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity

Ah, cool. Yeah, I doubt I'll run SLI. Especially with what I do with my PC.

I don't plan on running dual monitors, so that's not an issue for me. Ummm, what's SLI?

That sounds fine to me. The $800 budget isn't set in stone, it's a rough number. If I'm over $50 I'll be fine. And yeah, I'm just going to be playing a few games. The biggest thing I'll do is play something like DiRT 2 on the max settings (which it looks like this PC should be able to handle...

I'm switching to the Corsair 750w PSU. The Rosewill isn't making me comfortable with it's tendancy to fail thing.

I only have the desktop and the laptop PC's in my house. Once I get this new computer I'll be selling my old Dell XPS slimline tower. I'm one who likes things very fast when it comes to my PC, so when I play DiRT 2 or any other game or video I'd really like my PC not to struggle or take...

LOL at the velvet bag.

Looks like the Rosewill PSU has issues and are prone to failure, and I don't like that idea. The question right now is, how big of a PSU do I really need with this setup with it being OC'd at 3.7-3.8 GHz. I'm willing to spend a little more for peace of mind. Dealing with my PC being down for...

So my buddy Trevor (northwestsupra) is a PC geek and has built a couple custom PC's. I'm in the market for a new computer since mine was built April 11, 2006 and is on it's way out. He's done some shopping online for the components given an $800 price ceiling and this is what he came up with...

Might I recommend painting the rotors where the rust is with some black caliper paint? I did that to my Wilwood rotors and they look 10x better.

Me too man. If I'm lucky Gord will ship my much needed parts very soon and things will go as planned for once this month.

I coated my crank with a thin layer of anti-seize.

Around Thanksgiving. I don't get paid 'til then.

Well as a select few of you know, I got my ATI crank pulley hub stuck on my crank (thanks to ATI making the hub too tight to fit). In the process of trying to get the hub off I broke a brand new $90 caged 5-ton puller, and got the cap that goes on the end of the puller jammed inside the crank...

LOL! Poor Eclipse. It looked better stock

One of these days...

Glad my brake lines went to a good home. They've been collecting dust in the bag for a year now.

Ok, so I just now realized that I replaced the lower timing cover this year with a brand new 2J cover and had to trim the top half about 1/2" to get it to fit. So that's the answer, it will fit if you trim the top of the cover :)

I know the 2J block is about 1/2" taller, but I also know that the upper timing cover from the 2J will fit a 1J if you trim off 1/2" off the bottom. I'm thinking it will fit, but I just need confirmation (mainly for the bolt pattern since I can trim it if it's too tall).

Anyone????
