It all, depends on where you live and what type of road your on and how lazy the cops are, here in San Diego you just about get run of the road if your not going 130 kmh, though I have been known to do 100+ mph (160.9344 kph) in the fast lane/ commuter lane depending on the time of day and traffic, at 1 in the morning I've drove by cops at 110 mph ( 177.02784 kph ) and had the cops not even bat an eye, because I'm one of the slower cars on the road.

here in germany, the police is very rigorous, and they mostly use hidden cameras to catch drivers that are too fast, so there is sadly mostly never a way out (if youre under 220 kph, over that speed you will pass the camera far enough to conceil your cars ID tablet and your face;))

what really differs is the way drugs are handled by german cops.... from south to north it gets from nazi police to acceptable repression,nearly unnoticeable for people able to behave ;)

Yeah it's the same here, it all depends on where you get caught and by which cops, as we have local cops, a Sherif's office and a Highway patrol, and also how many times you have been caught and what for, I have only been caught 2 times once at 90 mph (144.84096 kph) 25 mph (40.2336 kph) over the speed limit, and once at 87 mph (140.012928 kph), went to traffic school both times, and ended up with no points on my license.
 
If it wasn't so dull here, i'd get a better picture. I can't use the lighting in here as it makes everything a horrid yellow.

Just adjust the white balance in Photoshop (or Gimp or Paint.NET) after the fact.

if we drive too fast, we mostly have to pay. the law is so, that you could be theoretically 3 times be busted with drugs/alcohol, until your maximum points are reached, and then you have to make your license again, after a 6 month long license lockdown. it takes qute a bit of dumbness to reach the 18 maximum points, when using a cellphone while driving is 1 point, and ignoring a red traffic light is 3-4 points ;)

You need a better lawyer. Money makes a lot of that stuff go away. Had a friend in high school (end of 90s) who did collections and so made quite a bit while being in high school. There were several times he got busted for 20-25mph over, took his lawyer, paid double the ticket and no more. Not saying it was cheap but better then driving school, imo.

The traffic school I go to is held in the rec room of a VFW, and before it starts (11 AM), I take a cab there and I'm at the bar of the VFW (opens at 9 am) I load up and watch sports on the TV, then show up at the class ( all you have to do is register show up and pay your money and sign some paper work, and be present for the full 4 hours) and watch the same lame ass movies they showed me 11 years ago in drivers ed in high school. I go back to the bar and wait for my cab home. To be honest it's not much different from spending a day off at home getting drunk and watching Jerry Springer.

Yeah I like how the fines for traffic infractions is based on how much you make, because here how much you pay is all based on how nice the cop that catches you is. Here in California getting busted for a DUI (driving under the influance) is an automatic $3,000 dollar in fines and if your convicted it's an additional 6-10k more, and if you choose to fight it in court it's roughly 10-15k in lawyer fees and court fines, and even if you win it's 6 out of the max 8 points on your license, and if you loose you loose your license for a year.

Yeah easy.

Though do you really need a crosshair 4 ?

You could go with a gigabyte or MSI board that's just as good for 50-80 dollars less, and grab a bigger processor, or a better video card, as unless your going for a 4.5 + ghz overclock your money would be likely better spent elsewhere.

american law is horrible, sorry if i have to state that, but its deeply inhuman, and would be perfect for machines without errors.;)

the fuck are you going to do with all those?
 
look at the big rad under the table :p
 
hope he has a good fancontroller lol, i imagine they are like deltas or similar

coolin a big ass ass rad,after planning that a looooong loooong time ;)

What he said :rockout:
Crazy!!!!!
Crazy GOOD!:D

they are easy to regulate over the 5v,7v and 12v rails, it are 24v ones, which are specced between 18-28v and work flawlessly on 12v so far. here are the specs,from the manual:
4414 N
- DC fan with electronically commutated external rotor motor. Commutation
fully integrated.
- Innovative impeller design with winglets.
- With electronic protection against reverse polarity, blocking and overload protection.
- Fan of fiberglass reinforced plastic. PBT housing. PBT impeller.
- Electrical connection via 2 leads AWG 24, TR 64 Stripped and tinned.
- Mass 250 g.

205m3/h; 24v 18...28 vdc; 46dba; 5,2w; 3650RPM; -20...+70c OT; 55000/27500h LT
i bet they will still work at 7v too, they seem to have a very high pressure, in addition to that. ;)

I maybe have the possibility to get 50 more, for free... im not pushin it but i give it at least a 50% chance that it will work out ;)

I wouldn't I guess!

Can you recommend a AM3 motherboard (preferably gigabyte), that would suit all my needs. Probably will not overclock CPU too much. Will not overlock GPU. Will use Crossfire.

Basically I just thought I'd get that in-case I get a x6 core from AMD and decide to get the 1055t to something crazy, perhaps.

Nice clock on the Xeon :)
 
i am extremely confused as to how that works.

It addresses 2x1GB over dual-channel and the leftover 1GB in single-channel mode.

ah ok... i was imagining a 3 stick system where it would separate the modules into 6x512 and then interleave those lol. wait... o.O hmmm...

I would recommend the GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H, or the ASUS M4A89GTD PRO, either will support a 6 core easy and roughly 100+ dollars cheaper than the crosshair.

I've been upto 250Kmh here in NZ but our roads absolutely suck for high speed to many potholes and incase your wondering it an Kawasaki Ninja 750:eek:
