Could be the lcd settings you have.
Make sure all the xtras are turned off, no motionflow, etc....
Run in game mode if your lcd has it.

Hasnt affinity been updated? so now VP can run on all cores or at least 2 or 3,
and set others to separate cores.

I did that with glow rope once, in the light it seemed ok but when it was dark in the room it looked pretty bad try some double sided tape or some of these was more impressed with look of these but wouldn't stick to my wall for some reason so i ended up with a spot of super glue on the back to get to stick

got my speakers mounted and working they sound and look fantastic!

the computer speakers are a plug input i just cut the wires and than stripped and tied them together into the speaker wire that plugs into the back of the computer sub

back

front i'm leaving the covers off so you can see the green tongue.gif


with the speakers done i can now move all the hardware into the inside of the cab i'll be doing that shortly.

got all my gear mounted to a spare door i had that came with my cab and ready to go inside the cab.

1st the cpu cooler i used to C brackets to lock it into place it's very secure and there's even a place to stash the wires inside the C bracket.


next the psu i cut 2 bendable brackets and screwed them into the fan holes and screwed them to the bottom of the board. than i jammed a L bracket up against it's back it ain't going anywhere!


and finally the hard drive i cut another bendable bracket and screwed it into 1 of the holes on the bottom of the hdd and than screwed the remaining 2 holes into the bottom of the board. it's also flush up against that L bracket on the back of the psu it's in very tight and secure!


mounting done!


once i figure out how to i'll attach some slides to the bottom or sides so i can pull it out of the back of the cab as a drawer. at the moment it's tricky since there's no where to attach the slides that attach to the cab to out of the back door?

and everything is finally inside the cab...anyone order a snake pit?!! wacko.gif

Are those the LED strips you got from eBay? Mine arrived last week, but I stupidly sent them to my old address (old crap laying around in my PayPal account that I didn't spot until I'd hit ok on the order), and I need to run over there to grab them.

They look pretty bright - very cool!

yep that's them their super bright and easy to mount since their in a plastic tube you just get some clamps and lock them into place.

yeah one 200mm fan in the back of the cab is all i have was gonna get a green one but they sold out and said wouldn't get more for months. maybe i'll add a green one later.
