The "s-peen" Theory

Ok, first some context. Today was the award and diploma ceremony at my school. You know, the day where all the smart kids get some recognition. It also means that parents have what I like to call the equivalent of "e-peen" contests, "s-peen" contests (school peen). Parents just gather around in little groups and start rubbing in each other's faces what their kid did. "Oh, my kid had the best grade in Math of the school!" "Mine had the best Sciences one!", what are you even trying to do? We all

The Pains of Being a Good Student

Hello! Ok, I'm a good student, I have good grades (>90% normally), behave well, etc. I'm the best student of my class, and that leads some of my classmates/teacher having wrong ideas about me. Yes, I'm a good student, but that doesn't mean that I'm freaking Wikipedia, ok? Please don't call me 20 times the day before a test, I'll help you, but when you start calling me 20 times along with other people it get's hard, I also have to study, remember that. If I'm a good student it doesn't mean

Do I cherish to be excellent? To ((be)tter)

Though I know many of the forum member's whom I've know for the past 15 months are young individuals with likewise minds that favour PC Gaming & whatnot. You guy's are either still in education, whether it's middle school to high school and from that point onward to potentially college/university. Studying to achieve a greater deal of appraisal in your hobbies, interests and future careers. I hadn't created myself a great opportunity to succeed in my higher level education, I got carried aw

The many stories of my 5 phones

So the first phone I ever got was when I was about 12, it was a Samsung Intensity, and my god was this phone awesome. It's slide out keyboard made it so I could text like a freak and the battery would easily last 2 days if I forgot to charge overnight it as I often did. To go with it was my first plan. Originally my mom was going to go with a texting based plan that came with 100 texts and 30 or so minutes but I convinced my mom to spend a few more bucks to get the unlimited texting plan. Boy wa

Planning 750D watercooling.

So I have been using my Corsair 750D with just a Swiftech H320 CPU watercooler for a while now but I bought the 750D with custom watercooling in mind so I think it is time to start planning what I will be doing. Mods: As of now, the only real mod I plan on doing is removing the 5.25" bay. Once that is gone I want to get a custom metal plate for the front and transform the entire front into a triple 120mm radiator (140mm if it fits.) Things to buy: One, maybe two GPU blocks, CPU block, massive

The reason I will not be buying any more products from Corsair

It's been only four months after parting with my hard earned money for a 32gb kit of Corsairs finest Dominator Platinum, although rather should I say they turned out not to be their finest as one of the modules broke which meant returning the whole kit, I didn't think this would be a problem as the product in question is only a few months old, and I had heard a lot of good feedback like "Corsair customer care is the best" and whilst I agree with that to some extent at the same time I feel it cou

My list of projects (a work in progress itself):

I just felt like listing everything I intend to do at some point both at work and at home so I could have a list. And I figured I would share that list with people because why not? I'll probably check them off as I go or something and update when I get a major one done. If I have time, forums threads will accompany them if they are cool and I think people will care. Note that what stops me for many of the home ones is money. Also ETC = Estimated Time of Completion, ETA = Estimated Time of Arri
