it's 2-door, it's green, it's a 4.0l with a stick. sounds like a winner. :D

me. :thumbsup:

I was a little worried about the boxes. they just barely fit the roll. but going up in box size almost tripled the cost of the tube, so fingers crossed I guess. :( I imagine I'll be ready to start taking orders early next week. the rest of this week is just packed. I'll start a new thread for them when I'm ready. :thumbsup:

don't worry about mileage. It's going to suck no matter what. pick the trans you prefer to use. :thumbsup:

does she agree that it's fixed?

how on earth can that happen? :eek:

all it does on my computer is flash a little red alert in the upper corner of the forums. nothing more. :thumbsup:

at the bottom of every post (right about in the middle) is a button, "report". by just clicking it you'll let all admin/mods know about it. :thumbsup:

update: It runs fine once going, but I've got a 50-50 chance of it restarting if I turn it off. and to have another shot at it starting, I have to unplug from the wall, then plug it back in. It almost feels like a car with a near-dead battery when it won't start. it just twitches the fans and then nothing. but then unplug it, plug it back in, and then it fires right up like it's no big deal. :dunno:

aren't the cards great! :D I remember back when I was scribbling the old Yahoo group address on a piece of paper. :ack:

alrighty, it has been a couple days now and it's still running fine on PS#3. :dunno: I've left all non-essentials (diskdrives, usb ports, extra HDs, etc) unplugged. I'm thinking If it lasts another week, I might fork over a few bucks on a 500w PS and then start installing the rest of my stuff. this assumes I was overloading the first 2 PSs. the first PS was 350w, the second was 300, the third is completely unknown (no coverplate on it).

hmmm, I wonder how important is it to get C rated if the electrical system only runs on 12 volts DC?

you need to drop that address in the photo pop up window. :thumbsup: click the little greenish "image" square above the text box an the pop up should appear.

sorry. roughly 11x17"

I'll start saving up gas money. :D lots and lots of it...

update: found another random PS in the basement (never throw things away!) and now it boots up as normal with a harddrive installed. too bad there's no cover on said PS so I've got no idea what it's rated for. oops. Am I doing something that's killing power supplies?

party at Ben's house! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: also:

english please? we're more than a step beyond my knowledge base. :(

sounds logical, I guess. does it still hold water if 3 different harddrives do it, but a 4th (really old one) doesn't? :(

nothing looks horrible in it, but what do I know. :dunno: today I swapped PS#2 and the harddrive into my old desktop. fired up as normal, but wouldn't recognize the harddrive. tried both neutral and master jumper locations. then tried that old computer's original harddrive with that same result. but at least the old computer fired up and ran through it's diagnostics. the new one won't stay running for more than a second. unless I unplug the harddrive. then it fires up. and shuts back off the instant I plug the harddrive's power cable back in (data cable is unplugged). same powersupply and harddrive combo gives me two different results in two different computers.

ran all night on PS#2. :D figured I had this licked and pulled out the PS to replace the cooling fan. reassembled and now it won't stay on longer than a second or 2 unless I unplug the hard drive (then it'll stay running). the inconsistency is driving me crazy....
