4

OKay, well im not at dunkin donuts obvious, at the moment im in Boston ma in this gay ass hotel room… Im away for work

Ima throw a ballparlk out there that says I could build you a comp that can run that game for 600-800 bucks

5

because its in rotterdam, and not many people find it interesting

6

What parts do you have right now?

Under $500 if you do budget.

7

I used to hang out down there all the time, dude.

8

You can buy a bottom of the line computer, slap some RAM and a video card in it and call it a day

9

What game Jesse?
My ALienware can play that no problem ;D

10

haha 20 bucks says Mackenzie will do this and that? and no one has mentioned my name? give me a min to reply to this !

Oh ok i sent you a pm jclark, i built alot of computers so I already have the estimate without looking up the spec prices yet

11

stfu… you brake your shit

12

Oh reallllllylyyyyy? you even came over and agreed mobo was bad so sssssssssssh

13

but it dident go bad till you started fucking with it!

14

well it was my mobo and i knew that so i didnt give a shit about plugging in hard drives while it was running :slight_smile:

5g’s for a pc is puzzy anyways :slight_smile:

and as far as XFX needs to know, it went bad because it was defective from factory, i didnt do nothing to it ! i swear…

anyways i wont be doing that again, waiting a month for a damn mobo isnt the funnest thing to do

15

What racing sim? iRacing? RFactor? LFS? NKP? RACE?

7900 GT = :runaway

16

IMO

LFS S2 FTW

u can ask shady i showed it to him :slight_smile:

U STILL GOT MY G25 BITCH

17

You got the tweak for S2-Z?

:nod

18

You might want to consider a slightly better graphics card than a 7900GT, maybe get a new GTX260, they are like $100 more than the 7900GT, and they are NASTY!

Thanks for the info guys. Thanks Singh for the specs via PM. I’m doing the research part and the price doesnt seem that unreasonable.

Anyone know where I can get a tits monitor for cheap? I have an extra TV here w/ an S-video input, I’d assume that’d work for temporary? Trying to keep this super cheap.

I know zilch about computers so I’ll take your word on the graphics card. I’d rather stick to what the manufacturer says “Runs best with.”

Lew and Rocketpunch- Primarily Rfactor, maybe iRacing once it becomes more popular. I know some racers that do an Rfactor league during the winter, new track every time. I’d also like to “teach” myself next year’s new tracks before I go. Anyone want in?

I have heard rfactor is awesome. I have gtr2 that I used to play, but been awhile and I need to get a wheel.
