  1. why get 2 500 gb SSD's and not a 1tb? Edit: just saw someone else brought this up.
  2. There should be something on this forum like r/microcenterproxy.
  3. go to reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap for windows, eh idk about a mini itx mobo/case but do what you please.
  4. only when i realize how long i have to wait for new games like GTA V
  5. http://www.asus.com/us/Monitors_Projectors/PB287Q/IMO
  6. people will always come to you with issues then when you tell them what's wrong they insist they are right and know more than you, still doesn't work, try your idea, it works and they still do not credit you for knowing what was wrong in the first place.
  7. Who else here is into RC things? I have a ton of planes, my favorites being my p-47 and my horizon hobby carbon cub. Also I have a few cheap quads, however my favorite so far has to be my blade nano qx. Even though it's really small it's so agile and it's a lot of fun. I am also ordering a dji phantom 2 vision plus tomorrow and am pumped for that. My transmitter is the spektrum dx8 What about you guys, what do you have/like?
  8. Most people imo would want to do it themselves, but to really gain a leg up on the competition you should make your own cases either with Plexiglas or acrylic of something of the sort.
  9. Looks to me like it has trouble loading. Most likely imo the graphics card probably being overworked if all the load is being put on it.
  10. Came here to say one of my best friends is colorblind. He can still see colors they just look different and more dull and kinda all the same.
  11. Mine is like that only during peak hours though so it could just be our areas of just because youtube is recieving a much higher load at those times.
  12. Not necessarily because you're having to search and go through and wear out more of the cells thus not good for longevity because they will degrade and become slower faster.
  13. First assemble all of your parts on your case box. So cpu and ram and video card and plug it all into the psu and fire it up. If it works then fine if not you have to do some trouble shooting. Pretty much in my experience everything has a unique characteristic or sound if that part is broken and you will find that out as you work with computers more, but for now just google whatever seems off or go on here and somebody will help you.
  14. I agree with TheKDub, also by the way, you may already know this but for better longevity and slightly better performance it's better to have one large SSD versus raiding multiple.
  15. Asus all the way. Have dealt with both and Asus is the clear winner. Everyone else already explained what vram is for, however I would also add that the reason more is better is because you can produce and store textures much faster putting out a better overall performance.
  16. I turn my desktop on in the morning and leave it on until I go to bed at 2 or so on weekends. I turn it on at 3pm after school until 12 or if I have work then only 10 to 12. I only shut my server down once a week and keep my mac on almost all the time because I hate the thing and am trying to kill it
  17. 4 years ago when I knew nothing about computers except for basic knowledge, I let my friend build my computer who had never done it before but still kinda knew what he was doing. After we plugged everything in (or so we thought) The computer wouldn't turn on. We called multiple friends and after 2 hours I realized a 4 pin molex was unplugged on the mobo. GG
  18. I reuse most of the parts that I can. I actually use a really cool old square heatsink as a letter holder. I sell all my other parts that are still valuable and the things that are not I either donate, or do things like overclock my moms old pentium processor without any fans in the case, open, in direct sunlight, and wait for the thing to explode. Have fun
  19. I saw a video on something like this. They said the best way is to put the gpu in the box seprately but then put packing peanuts in the case and put the case in it's original box with the original hard packing foam to keep everything the safest for transport. it'd probably be easier to ship it.
  20. There is more stuff like this on reddit.com/r/talesfromtechsupport. however, now to my story. I work for a IT company at mulitple locations and one of these we have to deal with patrons, the most dreaded job. It's at a library and we have to make tickets with pin numbers to sign in, and they always ask for help with really simple things and it requires a lot of patience. However, some make me realize why there's directions on poptarts. Here it is: Lady at the library for my job, asks me to go over and help her so I oblige. "Why do you guys have this bing thing? this is illegal according to the freedom of choice act of 1972" me: "It's just a search engine, you can use google if you want, just type google" her: "It's Illegal for you guys to do this" me: "Uh no it's not, you have the choice to use google, just search for it...." her: "Yeah but it searches through bing" me: "Until you click on google and search through google" her: "This is illegal and your job sucks, I feel sorry for you and this illegal business" me: "If you have no further questions I have to leave. Thanks, have a good day." I just posted it to facebook on thursday haha. I have a ton of stories like this.

  22. Title pretty much says it all. Whenever I try to upload my photos of my product or of my proof, it keeps giving me these error codes. most of them are 524 but some are also 522. Please and thanks for the help
