I thought rhinos were best on the market??? Or u need a bigger one?? Yeh Rimmer buy a ton of virgin carbon and well send em your way every year lol

Yeah those and the Mountain Air ones but they don't last forever, I've had my 5" since I've been on here and now it's not quite doing the job properly in late flower.

I get a whiff of something on the back end if I sniff hard at the exhaust, not good enough for me I need a new one.

1.2 x 2.4 tent, 8 inch intake, 2 x 6 inch outtakes each with its own 60cm 6 inch filter, so that's 2 x 60 cm rhino 6 " carbon filters...more than enough

 

[imcjayt]

herd those mountin air ones are good yorky betta than the rhinos.....

See what fucks me off is that the nice people in the R+D department at AMD design graphics chips with a mirror finish for a very good reason.

And then the company's like XFX that actually make the boards up from the reference designs to sell to us retail go and overclock it and strap a big cooler to it with poorly finished metal and bluetack shite instead of proper thermal paste.

Good job I pay for the proper stuff.

At least its set up so you have access to the chip. Unlike cpu's generally rubbish CPU heatspreaders. Mine was so bad I grabbed the mirror off the wall and some suitable grade sandpapers and lapped mine. No point buying an expensive water block if there's just going to be poor contact.

I only run my 8 " fan and filter at half speed most of the time and it still does the job even with a room full of psycho, 2 and a half grows out of it so far so should last a while yet, with it hardly ever running on full speed that should help it last too

Thats what I was told too, funny enough that's all the guy sold lol, them and budget ones. In sayin that tho the shop I use usually only stocks quality gear

 

[imcjayt]

well bloke in shop uses himself sed twice as good as his rhino and ruff same price......

yeah man my 8 inch filter lasted four years and is still pob ok but I jus changed the set up, but it makes sense and is way cheaper in the long run to run a fat 8 inch........fukin none of this 9 month shit ive got from th 6...and when I changed the filter the smell went so I was happy

Still not true.
PC's were doing ALL game genre's including platformer's long before consoles existed.
(Check the back catalog)

And if you're bothered about console exclusives there's an emulator for every console in history barring the PS3, 360 and Wii U.
I can even have a a script so that windows recognises the Wii controller instead of the mouse, job done all round.


Mario Kart a racer? Have a word TT, lol.
I've just finished Grid 2.

So in what aaspect are we talking better? I am considering it fROM plain Jane consumers points of view. Not emulators and scripts, the average consumer does not what that, they just want to play their game. We will just have to disagree.

And by racer I mean anything racing, not a car sim, or grid, I also said ssx, I wouldput that in the same category. What did you think of grid 2 btw? I didnget on that well with it, went back to the first one. That was one game I did play online, then everyone started using cheats, then the servers get axed. Such a shame. Is it impossible for them to release a patch offering local hosting without theonline ranking etc.

Thers no way ther twice as good, rhino have a good rep for a reason, I'd say ther both probly as good as each other

Over kill in that space and inefficient, like I said it's all about the contact time.

More and bigger filters with shitloads of air gushing through them is not what you want for proper odor removal, the slower the air passes over the carbon the better.
Then this has to be weighed up against having enough airflow to grow healthy productive plants.

 

[imcjayt]

anyone alse looked at the gavita pro 600?.....was hoping they drop a bit in price......http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amazing-G...arden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item27cfbd3469

that's never going to smell, i like all the air exchange.

how many lights in the 8x4?

Mines is the spare room m8 with another wall in front of the door, full of acoustic insulation and plasterboard all sealed up, I needed as much stealth as I could get so the big silent (supposed to be anyway) fan and filter was money well spent, can hardly hear a hum from outside the room

there is a breeze in my tent, thanks, replacing the used filter killed the smell...QED yman

I have a naked 600w Philips son t vert, a 1000w osram xxl aircooled (3 fan) hood coupled to a 600 w aircooled Philips sont , 2 x 250w cfl and 300w intermittent uvb...on superlumens it about 90w ft in old money

Better as in factually a better piece of equipment with subjective opinion as to preference left aside, this was the point all along.


Grid 2 has slightly tweaked graphics and it runs smoother than the first but the driving physics are not a patch on the first one.

The transition feedback from tarmac, gravel, mud and water don't feel as precise and it takes away from the experience.
Racing is my genre of choice and I can't drive in 2 as good as 1 because the feeling is just not there so I can't push it to the limits.

I can't get the car's within mm's of the apex wall on turns by counting frames as the feedback is just not there to go with it.

It's still a good game but not what it should have been.

thats a lot in a 8x4!, it must be decent tent to hold all that weight.

any pics of your setup?
