    Sybre got a reaction from Roll_Like_Rollo in Experiences with non-techies   
    Oooh I got another story, this one will make you facedesk SO hard. I have had a friend who's a complete console fanboy, specifically ps3. He thought that ps3 was more powerful than any gaming computer and ps3 games had better graphics. I told him how that's impossible because the games were made on a PC originally and they can't make a better looking game on a console because of obvious limitations. He then got upset and claimed that the ps3 "downloaded newer graphics cards" to improve the system. Then I rebutted using his logic and said, why don't they just do that with PC? He got really mad at this point, then I showed him my version of over modded oblivion that pushed the limits of graphics back then, comparing his ps3's graphics. He got so upset over it, knowing I cornered him and that I knew more than him in general, he "accidentally" spilled coke all over my laptop. Normally I would of taken legal action in a heartbeat but he was poor, his mom was dead, his oldest brother was in jail, and got beaten up by his second older brother all the time. So I let it slide. One day he came to my house to apologize and I accepted it, skeptical as always. We got into another argument about resolution and how my 4k tv was nicer looking than his larger 1080p TV. Remembering what he did last time, I agreed with him and let it be. When he left he stole my about $400 since he wanted "buy" them off me (he said he would give me a "swat"knife) and I declined. I was on my deck while he was taking off and forgot his hoody in my room, he filled the games in his hoody and took off before I even knew what happened. People are shit.

    Sybre got a reaction from kol in blue yeti   
    Don't bother with a full setup. If you use the mic to talk to your buddies on a VoIP then just get a simple desktop mic. Ignore what the other guy's saying. The blue yeti is a great cardioid mic for a decent price that all you need to do is plug in to work. No drivers, no pain. There's even the cheaper alternative of the blue snowball which would probably even better suit you price wise. I mean there's a reason why many people use Blue products, specifically the yeti. Not to mention I guarantee you'll probably get the same sound from using a yeti or snowball than an oversized wanna-be professional setup. This is coming from someone who does have that oversized wanna-be professional setup for work.

    Yeah, I think this is the route I'm going to take. I considered it, but I figured my hands can descend from glorious chery mx greens to a cheap wireless keyboard for a few mins to type in a new show or something.

    Sybre got a reaction from Smitty07314 in Help with pricing for my 360   
    Okay these random calculations are outrageous. I've done a bit of game and console trading for about 10 years now. First off, the games on the hard drive aren't worth anything as the licences is linked to your xbox account, even though they're playable. As for the discs, I would say roughly >$15 in total. As none of the game's are collector's favorites, I doubt anyone would even care to buy them.
     
     So currently, buying that 360 new is about $150 and that's with the controller. If you are trying to sell it to a store like an LGS, you would probably get $45-50 for the 360, $10 for the kinect and under $15 for the games (if they even buy them).  They might haggle with the price considering it is scratched up bad. If you are going to put it up on craigslist you might be able to get 70-80 for the 360 and kinect in total. Like I said those games aren't going to be sold on their own, might as well use them to sweeten the pot. Many people don't realize that when they do a hasty google search on the price of stuff, it's showing prices from business that are selling the console, not a random joe shmoe. So when people try to sell stuff to others for business price, they get upset when people tell them to fuck off.

    Sybre reacted to W-L in Evaporation in custom loop?   
    It's very possible there was small amount of trapped air in rads and it made it's way out over time, evaporation does occur but usually takes much longer than 5 months say >12 months, but it's usually recommended to change the fluid however at around a max of 12 months before that.

    Try pulling half your memory, if one crashes try the other. Also try resetting CMOS. If you can (Don't know that chip) try without graphics card. Might also try a different PCIe slot. Clean the contacts on your graphics card with a pencil eraser (A fresh one, don't cover it with graphite- it's conductive...)
