The computer and electronics super geek thread
Dax415 replied to Dante74's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
thanks for pointing me in the right direction.... i found the cable i'll need to run it to my cheapie surround sound RCA speakers!!! wasn't sure if anyone else would be looking but this is what i found and only $7 !!! http://www.monoprice.com/products/product....=1&format=2 If I wanted a high quality picture as well, i'm assuming this would be another solution? http://www.monoprice.com/products/product....at=1#largeimage -

thanks guys! the monitor i have does have built in speakers.....there's a little plug that is the same as as headphone jack. To get the best quality picture i use a DVI connection to the computer and the headphone jack for the sound. didn't know VGA was available for the xbox 360,..... oh and i do have a cheapie surround sound system from walmart not sure whether the connections would work but i'll dig up the instructions and check. -
The computer and electronics super geek thread

Hey guys was hoping if someone would be able to answer a question for me. I tried on a different site but got blasted for it, so I'm hoping for a kinder answer here cause I'm NOT teck savy but do my best to try and educate myself in spite of it. Was wondering if it were possible to hook up my xbox 360 to a computer monitor? Now before anyone blasts me, yes I did not expect this to be easy and I have tried using a HDMI/DVI cable to attempt this with my current monitor. The result is a very clear and crisp screen on a 19" monitor, but NO SOUND!!! Is there a way to compensate for this? Perhaps a connector I do not know of? Or is this something best left alone and not bothered with? Since I don't watch alot of TV, I was going to trade with my dad....unfortunately the xbox360 looks like crap on his older tv as I told him it would. The old guy deserves a digital tv, but being broke there's not much I can do to get him a set but try this. Thanks for the help guys.... dax415 -
California Macross Launch Celebration?
Dax415 replied to Ginrai's topic in Conventions and Local Gatherings
I think Fortress_Maximus, grapetang, Grayson72, and a few others are in NorCal as well..... I'll PM them this thread to see if anyone else would like to hang out. -
California Macross Launch Celebration?
Dax415 replied to Ginrai's topic in Conventions and Local Gatherings
if its on the 22nd, ill likely be able to make it... right now i'm sick and wouldn't want to infect anybody. would be nice to meet other norcal MWer's -
Nice...the contrast between the clean armor and combat abused armor starts to show up already. I could never tell if sev had blood markings or if the idea behind it was more like a clan marking of some type. As far as I know the commando squads were quickly reformed from already ravaged units and had to adapt quickly to one another to form a team. The ARC troopers and Commandos were "free thinkers" true individuals from what i've read and although taught to be loyal to the republic, were not "programed" like regular clone troopers. keep up the good work, can't wait to see how scorch turns out.

this is a sweet build up, looking forward to more! if you do a run on the caopies i'd like to purchase 2 , it really brings out the fighter better than the original.
-
coming along nicely! amazing how a good paint job brings out details in a action figure you wouldn't normally see with the factory paint.
-
wow, that's incredible! i can't believe the detail you got out of it using cardboard.... if you decide to build again out of cardboard would you be willing to document it and share it with the rest of us?
-
man, i'm glad i got the kit.... its impressive even in pieces, but incredibly cool finished up!
-
hate to ask again.... i was just curious when they reissue snake eyes and timber, will there be a variant black timber in the mix? or was that a one shot thing? was just curious cause i saw on ebay a listing with a black variant timber but the card was white bordered and even weirder their was yellow variant stalker on a white bordered card....i thought that was a factory screw up? I know the yellow variant stalker ended up with the newer battle packs (mass device if i remember correctly)..... just wondering cause it didn't seem right, i was thinking it was repacked or something

Just saw this and had to do a double check, figured others here would get a kick out of it... even though it does look fugly... mospeada gun Gallant H-90?

I've ordered with hlj for about six years now....i've requested SAL all the time and have usually received them in about 10 days to 2 weeks. So far the shipments show up a little later than normal, so its not that bad for me......though i've got a different "gripe" with them, nothing to get the pitch fork and torches out, but irritating nonetheless.

Hey guys, came across a variant that I have not seen before....package does not looked tampered with. In the new Iron Grenadiers Comic 2 pack, instead of destro's head being gold or silver....its black with red eyes. All the other packs were with gold heads except this one. Was wondering if anyone found something similiar?
-
they're hard to get around here too.....i'm in nor cal and its hard to tell how much is replenished cause its mostly scalpers that get them, ESPECIALLY in the san francisco bay area.

Need a few more orders: Hobbyfan (YellowSub) 1/100 GBP-1S
Dax415 replied to cowie165's topic in Model kits
i'm already in line and hope others want this kit too! -
hey guys, wasn't sure if this was brought up before but i'm up in Northern California and the prices for Joes just shot up!! Walmart is now $6.89 a figure and several Target's in my area are now pulling the prices from the shelves.....not sure what they are going to do. Anyone else see such a price hike?
-
any updates on this project?....thanks!
-
I'm in for 1 for sure......maybe 2 depending on how my work week goes!

The Xbox 360 Thread Elite Edition
Dax415 replied to Apollo Leader's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
hey guys, i accidentally came across a site that offers software to copy games for backup purposes..... was just wondering is this a legit sight and if anyone has tried it. seems too good to be true... www.gamecopypro.com -
was looking at the front page of the models section and was wondering if the 1/144 Konig Monster was ever produced?
-
wow, that's cool....want's it!!!
-
Other than a variety of 1/100 macross stuff, they dont seem to reissue the 1/72 stuff other than valks....
-
thanks, guys.... fortunately for me i have a friend who's finishing up his degree in video game design, so if i took some classes and started to do this from scratch or hack it, i'd have some help!! not at all worried about it taking a year or two, what i'd like to do is keep intact the hex movement and being able to pilot the robot in the one on one battle scenes and make it macross of course! was just curious if anyone out there did a command and conquer style macross game? i've seen the homeworld mod (which is why i bought a copy awhile back) but haven't spent much time with it.
