| 333292 | 2005-03-12 06:52:00 | Soon maybe the PC gets it... I admit I did see the Ps2 version today at the store. Gran Turismo is owned by a division of Sony, It will never be released in any shape or form on a non-sony device. never. No Chance. If you want to see what is available then http://www.rscnet.org/ |

| 333293 | 2005-03-12 12:45:00 | Also check out bigger HD options. I never use 80Gb anymore, for another 20-30 you can get 120Gb, you can never have too much storage. | Rob99 (151) | ||
| 333294 | 2005-03-13 01:13:00 | Thanks for the mobo suggestion, yup that one is $380 just gotta decide between the $200 ones and that .. What is there to achieve from a $380 mobo? Do I need SLI or two PCI-E? Firewire is not needed for myself. Both are FSB 800 with inbuilt sounds, PCI Express, Gigalan, same Nvidia nForce 4. Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 Socket 939 Motherboard? How much power supply do I need and what about the case with the fan's? I am not looking to overclock. Would the provided CPU fan and the provided video card fan be sufficient with a typical case and PSU? |

| 333295 | 2005-03-13 03:18:00 | I had a look at the prices of HDDs. My P3 laptop only has 20GB and I'm doing v well. So, I am sort of thinking of a Western Digital Raptor Hard drive (Serial ATA)? | Nomad (952) | ||
| 333296 | 2005-03-13 03:52:00 | Thanks for the mobo suggestion, yup that one is $380 just gotta decide between the $200 ones and that .. What is there to achieve from a $380 mobo? 3 year warranty on it Do I need SLI or two PCI-E? Not really Firewire is not needed for myself. Both are FSB 800 with inbuilt sounds, PCI Express, Gigalan, same Nvidia nForce 4. Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 Socket 939 Motherboard? Yes quite nice How much power supply do I need www.silentpcreview.com Just make sure its a good quality one and what about the case with the fan's? Same, quality I am not looking to overclock. Would the provided CPU fan and the provided video card fan be sufficient with a typical case and PSU? Depends. Case can affect it too, I chnaged my CPU cooler after trying the stock one. The stock one was also noisy. |

| 333297 | 2005-03-13 11:16:00 | I only buy Seagate HD's now for the 5 year warenty, but nothing wrong with WD. I fitted a Enermax Noisetaker PSU to my machine and was totally amaized how much quieter it was, it was 3 or 4 times heaver as well; hopefully that means better quality. |

| 333298 | 2005-03-13 11:40:00 | Thanks for that, Time will tell re: noise control. The 400W should be enof, monitor gets plugged to the wall. Not getting WD Raptor anymore for now, but who knows :D That RPM and seek time :) The real hard thing is the mobo, those high end MSI and ASUS are nice but those price tags... |

| 333299 | 2005-03-13 11:54:00 | Hi Nomad , everyone has their favourites , I have had nothing but good experiences with Gigabyte boards , and haven't felt the need to spend over $200 to get all the features I need [ once spent bulk $$ on an intel board for a mate who wanted nothing but the best , and only would look at a Pentium...] - ASUS , MSI = bloody good also I believe from reviews etc , Gigabyte are quite inexpensive comparatively tho . Not to get into the AMD vs Intel thing , just my thoughts on chipsets for the mobo ; if you go AMD get n-force , if you go Pentium get an intel chipset - they just work well together . Happy system building !!! | KatiMike (242) | ||
