t128 for christmas?

Hello!. Im obbessed with motorsport, and i wanna get into casual sim racing. Im a teen so, i dont have a lot of cash. T128 is 650 gell( roughly 200 usd) new. Used market, thrustmasters dont exist. Like literally. ( i cant buy from ebay or any international site sadly) G29 is 980 gell (370 usd) so it is a big difference.

on used market g29s and g920s go from about 600 to 650 ish. these past weeks i found listings that went up to 500. this one seller thats reputable has a couple g29s used with its original box for 650.

tho i like the g29 better as you can mod it,i feel like the t128 would get stale. It cant be moded and yeah.

F1 25, forza 5 and probably le mans ultimate( if its on a good sale this christmas) and a ton of ets2

Also, i cant buy them internationally, as the weight bill would be like a lot.

Would the wheel be a great starter?.

Also my desk wobbles a little. Will that be a problem?.

T128 in 2026??

Hello!. Im obbessed with motorsport, and i wanna get into casual sim racing. Im a teen so, i dont have a lot of cash. T128 is 650 gell( roughly 200 usd) new. Used market, thrustmasters dont exist. Like literally. Also g29s are sold at like almost full price used. G29 is 980 gell so it is a big difference.

Although i like the g29 better as you can mod it,i feel like the t128 would get stale. It cant be modded and yeah.

F1 25, forza 5 and probably le mans ultimate( if its on a good sale this christmas) and a month or two of iracing

Also, i cant buy them internationally, as the weight bill would be like a lot.

Could this be why it rattles

Rx 580

R5 5500

Past few months its been goin crazy during gaming

Normal use its quiet

Ignore the background noise lol

Could this be why it turns into a jet during f1 or ghost of tsushima?

The fan isnt fully in and struggles to keep the pace

How to fix fan bearing?

My computer is about to turn 1 years old this july 27th, i bought this case 2e gaming case gb700w new from a retailer.

Didnt have a problem with it at the start, but these past few months its making these machine gun noises.

Thought it was because i didnt have my hard drives mounted, so i bought screws off of temu and it didnt fix it.

When i try to pin point the sound, it feels like its coming near the top fan, but also it appeares to be in the center.

Specs

Asrock a520 hdv

R5 5500

8x2 ddr4 3200mhz

Xfx 580

Zalman 700 wat psu

1 2.5 500gb hdd

1 nvme m.2 256gb ssd

1 1tb hdd 3.5

Should i get a new case?

Luckilly for me i got money as a gift from relatives, about 35 dollars( note im outside the usa, im in georgia so i just converted the amount to dollars)

Noise comes from during games. When im web surfing, watching games or just doing anything besides gaming, its quiet or it may produce a little click sound.

Any help would be apprecciated

Is thrustmaster t98 ferrari 296 gts worth it?

​

Found it for 70 dollars on ebay.

To clarify i live outside of US. Wheels like g25 g27 t128 etc are non existent. And i mean that literally

Also id have to use a freight forwarder so that adds about 26 dollars for shipping.

Anything over 100 dollars gets me to pay customs vat tax 18%+ vat prep cost+ hidden fees

I only play f1 25.

Tho i got ets2 and forza 5

I dont plan on heavy sim games like iracing or assetto corsa( although that could change)

Just wanna play career mode on f1 with max

G29s here cost 900+ gell new (350+)

G923 even more

G920 same as g29

Used its 500 + gell( 190+ usd)

I just dont wanna spend that much money

Plus i am a teen.

I just want to somehow live my motorsport dream lol

Should i get the wheel?

I know it has no FFB

Is the t458 spider worth it as a new sim racer?

Found one for 150 gell( 56usd) on facebook

I just want it for formula 1 25 and euro truck sim2

Is it that bad?

Im not in the US so i cant buy a driving force gt for like 20 dollars more.

Only wheels in the used market here are: g29s, g923s, g920, t80 ferrari 488 GTB-E, , logitech momo , t458 spider and t128p

G29-923 can be found for up to 550( 200 usd with everything)

T80 is 350 ( 131 usd)

Momo is 250 (94 usd)

T128 is 450( 180 usd)

Ive only used the g29 at an internet cafe for like 10 minutes 2 years ago. So i got no experience

Yes force feedback is necesary but idk. Im like 15, i got enough for the 458, im not poor but i just dont wanna spend that much.

Ive been playing f1 25 with my ps4 controller and im getting more and more bored.

Will the gameplay be bad on the 458?

Sorry if its a bad post!

Should i switch from s25fe to s25/iph17/s26 exynos??

​

Hi. Been using the FE since october. Upgraded from the 12 mini. Been a blast using it, sideloading , emulating. The battery oh my is it good. Cameras are decent and the performance is amazingg.

But lately its been feeling " off"?. Yes its dumb but its like too " big" now.

If the FE was a bit smaller like 6.3 id keep it.

Do i switch? Its a trade in and id have to pay less than half

( im probably gonna get downvoted)

Could also do the same trade in and get the s25 ultra for half the price but thats like wayyy to big

Is my hard drive cooked?

Only does it in games and sometimes on ' itself' if im phrasing it right.

I got windows on an m.2 so i dont get why it does that

Maybe after 7 years its finally dying but i got about 300gb worth of important family stuff so do i replace it??
