Where can I buy strength equipment for home gym?

Zmir — Sun, 18 Mar 2018 14:52:09 +0800

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am looking to buy a cable pulldown machine.
I checked online and most shops mostly just give the whole big station with all the other equipment and not a single cable pulldown machine like those you see at the gym.

An example of what I am looking for : https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Mult...0532525662.html

Anyone knows where I can buy this in Malaysia?

Is it illegal to buy online and send to malaysia?
Some are quite legit websites, but not sure if Malaysia has any ban on test kits.

Do we even sell any local drug test kits, for like all the hard drugs?

Broadband provider
ISP/package: unifi
Location: subang jaya ss19
Have you called your ISP's helpline?: no

Personal equipment
Modem: -
Router: dir 615
Firewall used: -

Problem details
help!
my router (dir 615) suddenly hard reset by itself after a blackout!
I know it hard reset because the password changed to default (blank)

I tried to enter the unifi username and password in the internet connection setup wizard but it didn't work...

what should I do?

[addedon]December 28, 2010, 11:13 pm[/addedon]FIXED & CLOSED

fixed... the problem was they changed the password, it wasnt the same pass as provided in the paper.
quite frustrated as they changed it without the owners consent, but glad the customer service was good and efficient

Case Recommendation help!

Zmir — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 18:28:57 +0800

Hey guys, i need help choosing a new case!
I was thinking of getting the CM Storm Sniper, CM HAF922 or CM Cosmos S (All have side ventalation, and i dont think i want HAF 932 because theres no air filters and my room is quite dusty)
cost and looks is not an issue, and i just want a new case to help out with the cooling of my system!

I currently have the CM ATCS840 and is not happy with it, its just too hot! The cooling is not very good, while playing games over a long period, my system overheats then BSOD or hangs. this happens EVERYTIME, unless i open the left side of my case to let some air in.
This is probably due to the fact that the gtx295 blows really hot air in the case and the atcs has no side panels to help out with extracting that air.

Hope u guys can help me out with this decision! Thanks!

2008/12/13 Final Update! ~RM10k xtreme gaming rig

Zmir — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 00:36:29 +0800

Hey guys just like the title, i need help building an extreme gaming rig, budget 10k.
DONT NEED to use all 10k, i want to get the best bang for the buck! For example i dont need to spend extra RM2k on corei7 965 for a tiny performance increase! Spending around 8k is fine, dont need to use up the entire budget
This is my first rig im building on my own though, before this all com shop helped me make. Here are the list of things i need to state :
Budget: ~RM10,000
System: Intel
Things NOT required: Monitor, Speakers, Hard disk, Optical Drive
MUST have: Intel Core i7, 4+GB RAM
Usage: EXTREME gaming(all high settings max reso), plenty of compressing/uncompressing, 24/7 non-stop usage (can tahan heavy duty usage), little bit of overclocking
Shops: Will be buying this pc in lowyat, items SHOULD be available to buy in lowyat!

Updated 08/12/08!
Proc: Intel Core i7 920 - RM1060 (Plenty of people recommended 920 over 940!)
Mobo: ASUS Rampage II Extreme - RM1699 / DFI LANPARTY UT X58-T3eH8 - Less thanRM1699
RAM: Corsair XMS3-1333 DDR3 6GB - RM1050 (Chose 1333 since 920/940 can only support up to 1066!)
GC: ZOTAC NVIDIA 260(216) AMP2 SLI x2 - RM2340 (Plenty of people recommended ZOTAC!)
Case: CoolerMaster ATCS 840 - RM829
PSU: Corsair 1000HXUK HX - RM965
Mouse: Razer Lachesis - RM259
Keyboard: Logitech G15v2 - RM265
Cooler: Thermal Right ULTRA 120 Extreme - RM269

TOTAL : RM8736!

This should be the full pc i will be buying! Except for the mobo, will wait for DFI to release their board
Will be buying all these items at PC Fair! Hopefully can get a good deal, so last changes will be on 14Dec!

Any suggestions or recommendations to replace my current list is fine! just tell me why u would think its better
I hope u guys can help me build one hell of a pc! Thanks in advance!

EDIT:UPDATED list Again! Price taken from (16Nov)Cycom and (5Dec)C-Zone pricelist!
QUESTION ::
Does DFI make their own soundcard? Cause the ASUS Xonar in p6t/R2E had some good reviews, wondering if DFI uses some good soundcards
