    Unless the OP is violating the CoC, no-one has any place saying this.

    Fox McCloud got a reaction from clayfreeman in Why the Kitchen Set Matters   
    The kitchen set almost makes the show more approachable to the viewer, unlike a streamlined clean set could ever do.

    I built a PC for my younger brother. Worst mistake, he thinks I owe him a lifetimes worth of customer support or something.

    When I fix something for someone they usually blame me for any future problem but only after uninstalling the anti-virus software. I am now beholden forever to fixing that shitty laptop.

    Back in the 9th grade 2 other buddies of mine and myself started our own school project. Our project was to dismantle a computer, make our own case, and assemble the computer inside the case we built ourselves. For the longest time a friend of mine had been saying that he knows pretty much everything about computers. Turns out he didn't know anything, but i'll get back to that.
    I went to a very cheap-ass school, so there were always trouble with the infrastructure there, so as you probably guessed the computers at the school crashed all the time. Also note that all of the computers were "hooked up" for lack of a better term to ONE Server. This was a big school with around 200+ computers all hooked up to this one server. (Recipe for disaster). Since all of the computers were connected to the same server that would mean that if there was one single error on the server, then all of the 200+ computers at my school would simply not work.
    These computers all went down the drain atleast twice a week making them completely and utter useless. And everytime the system went down the teachers always asked this friend of mine that thought he knew everything about computers. Let's call him Bob to make it easier to follow. Anyways, The teachers would always have Bob look at the computers, and tell them what was wrong. Ofcourse he didn't know what he was talking about, so he said the following: "Yeah, mhm, okay. Yes it seems that you have gotten a network system error inside the processor, it will be back up in an hour". Yes, that is ACTUALLY what he said, let that sink in for a moment. Oh, I totally forgot; The time he said that it was a "Network system error inside the processor". the teachers were trying to figure out why there was no sound from the speakers. Turns out the audiojack was not plugged in.
    Anyways I got really off-track here. My friends and I were assembling the computer into the case that we had built ourselves. When suddenly Bob came by. My friends and I were kind of annoyed at Bob, so we asked him "which one of these components is the motherboard"? I bet anyone here on the forum would be able to point out which component in a computer was the motherboard, right? Bob pointed at the HDD, of course we all laughed, because this was proof that he knows nothing about computers, and was just spewing bullshit all the time. After we all calmed ourselves down, I said: "well surely you know this is the graphics card, right? (I pointed at the CPU). Bob said: "Yes ofcourse, how dumb do you think I am? That's when I almost broke out in tears laughing.

    Since that event he stopped claiming he knew everything about computers and was an "IT-Guru". Anyways, my buddies and I delivered in our assignment, and got ourselves an A.
    Cheers! ;)

    Thought it would be fun to make a topic about, all of our experiences with all the people, who doesn't really understand all the tech.
    Note: Don't make this too harsh on them. You need to help them, not yell at them.
    I'll go first:
    So my mom has a daycare. And one day I am sitting on the floor with my laptop. And one of the kids, with real dirty hands come and put his hand on the screen. Guess he thought it was a touch screen. Still haven't gotten it off, and it was 3 months ago.
    My grandmother is scared of getting rid of the computer, because she thinks it will cut the power to her house.

    just an FYI, you are asking a group of people who generally build their own computers if getting an expensive pre built is worth it

    Fox McCloud reacted to Diederik_Gr in Is the Alienware Alpha worth getting, what are your thoughts   
    One of those steam machines i assume. Not really worth it, because you can build something better for the same price at a slightly bigger form factor, unless you really need it to be as small as possible.
     
    And yeah, pre built isn't a popular thing to discuss here. Almost everybody here has a custom rig that they assembled themselves. So everybody will tell you that building it yourself is better, and it actually is.

    Last year there seemed to be a strong emphasis on cyber monday, but this year it seems like they gave up on that. So, I would have to say it's looking like black friday will be your best bet.
