    TechDookie got a reaction from BuckGup in Stock Market   
    Nope, I invested when I was 13.
     
    If you invest wisely and have a diverse portfolio the risks are still there but you make it sound like it will kill you. Yes, people have lost everything on the stock market. Yes, people have won everything on the stock market. But, at the end of the day for the past 90 years the stock market has been growing at an average of 11% a year.
     
    Yeah, I currently only have one investment and that's in Southwest Airlines. I bought it when it was at $20 now it's at $45. I recommend reading a book about investments (The Motley Fool has some good books). I'm looking into AMD as well, funnily enough. It's in a terrible financial situation making it a very risky buy. But, if Zen and Greenland succeed you'll be raking in cash. It's either boom or bust. So, yeah. I had to put in my opinion because from the other posts it made it sound that investing was worse than getting the plague.

    TechDookie got a reaction from Deletive in AMD Zen   
    Yeah, I've only invested once and it was a very small portion compared to the commission fee. I put $160 in LUV (southwest airlines) when it was at $20 a share. Now its $40 a share. I think a small investment in AMD has huge potential. Even if it does get bought that typically means a lot of money for investors.

    I advise you not to. I've done a bit on CS GO lounge and basically got even. Don't put anything that means something to you in gambling. If you're not prepared to lose money don't do it. Treat gambling like giving away money.

    TechDookie got a reaction from Castdeath97 in That "clock" that Mohamed Ahmed made is a 1980's Digital Alarm Clock   
    So now we're bashing Ahmed because he didn't build a clock, he only reassembled it. Who gives a shit? Because he got a ton of Microsoft gear? Because of all the attention? Because of all the college acceptances? Now, I don't know if his parents told him to build it because they wanted to stir up trouble, BUT I can definitely see him bringing it in to show off. All I see right now is the media riding on the attention, a bunch of people and organizations wanting to be politically correct, and a bunch of jealous kids complaining how its unfair.

    TechDookie reacted to Thorium19 in WHITE HOUSE PRESS BRIEFING LIVE   
    Americans give Obama so much hate, yet to outsiders like myself he's likely the best president for a long time. Obama-care for example is something that should hopefully develop to a full national health service if it's given time. Also, it was very likely he would be hated because he came into power at the start of the economic downturn and will get all the slack for it, even when it was Bush and co before him. He may not have had to deal with a major war, but he did bring an end to the Afghanistan campaign which was a pointless exercise, no one can control the Afghans, us the British as well as the Russians found that out the hard way.

    Haha, Obama is the best thing that has happened to that country, would you prefer Donald Trump? And how did Obama play in their favor? The US and a bunch of other countries held their money "hostage" and forced them into the deal. And do you actually know why they arent very fond of the US? Did you actually consider its the US's fault they dont like you? And Iran isnt shouting "death to america". You are a typical example of narrow minded ignorant republicans...

    PLEASE, do not post any more gtx 970 sli vs 980 ti threads, this has been answered millions of times in favor of the 980 ti. PLEASE do not make anymore threads asking whether the 970 vs 390 is better as this was answered millions of times and nowadays you only get fanboys. PLEASE refrain from getting over a 970/390 for 1080p. This futureproof bs for 1080p is driving me crazy. PLEASE do not post anymore threads about the "3.5 gb of ram" on the 970 whereas the last 500mb is slower. Also people who respond to people getting a regular gtx 980, stop fucking saying to save up for a 980 ti.There is a search bar in the forums. There are videos.

    TechDookie got a reaction from PiGHamM3R in could i get into MIT if i am homeschooled?   
    You're so young man. Unless you feel threatened or you're starting to get depressed, I don't think home schooling is the best bet. I know three kids who are homeschooled, and they say they have two hours of school work a day. And, if they really wanted to they could finish their schoolwork in one month for the entire year. To some, that may seem awesome, but I'm pretty sure from what I've heard that it would get a bit boring. 
     
    I'm heading to 9th grade and I've been bullied I guess. But, then again, I do a lot of stupid stuff. Unless you've been physically attacked, I wouldn't recommend becoming home schooled.

    Here is one long overdue update.. bodywork is taking much longer than i anticipated 
     
    I ended up saving me the trouble with doors that open like this.. so the original idea --- to the water
     





     
    Made my life allot easier when it came to cooling fans can now be securely mounted to the side pannel
     



     
    Also, now everything seems to fit perfectly >.> 
     

     
    And some finishing bodywork, tiny air bubbles gave me allot of problems after sanding... 
     


     
    In the end it was worth it... Just perfect
     



     
    Also, one more idea that took me, Idiot, almost entire day and it was complete bust!
     



     
    Also, i figured that if i paint over the dry body kit, it will give it a bit of strength so i ended up doing that and it made my life easier, I paint it when i am done, and than, when i am back from work tomorrow its nice and solid, doing this saved me from allot of scratches
     

     
    The back fan mounted ( the one that cools the back of the socket ), i must add that when i did measurements for the cuts, i wanted to make it octagonal, i kind of dig the lines.. i think i will pinstripe them on it... Also the fan is mounted to the plate, that is than mounted to the case... 
     







     
    Checking if the cables fit the hole i made, it will be awesome when i put the sleeved cables there with cable combs there
     




     
    There, I hope you guys like the progress i made, i will take liberty to say that it the case as a case should be done in a week, and the water cooling components and components should be fixed inside few weeks after that total...
