    "I personally have two GT 640's in Crossfire" - A Futureshop Employee my friend was talking to. 
     
    We both laughed for a straight hour when he told me. Now everytime we talk tech I tell him to get GT 640's in crossfire lol.

    I have a non-techie friend who boasts of his "upgraded" computer. He said it's very fast now because he added 3TB of storage.

    Some guy called my office, trying to sell me computers. I just said "oh you mean those little box's with the tv on top? Yeah, our accountant has some". He promptly gave up and hung up the phone lol

    To my good friends, I am God of computing.
    My friend's mom actually paid me 50 bucks to fix their loose cable, thrice.
    Many don't believe me when I told them I built a PC.
    I should never have mentioned the term 'hardware porn' among them.
    Some think I have no life and no future.
    To most adults, I am a spoilt brat.

    I don't really have an example except that when I go to the apple store with my gf, because her phone broke again, I would look around for the noobie and mess with him/her. I would also like to add that I do not think some of the employees should be called geniuses lol. Anyone else enjoy doing this?

    so this one time I was hanging out with my friend who is the manager at a tech shop by where I live and a girl comes in and buys a 2tb hard drive. we let her know that we install hard drives for $1 (the cost of the sata cable we use) and she says "just because I am a woman does not mean I cant work on computers" and leaves in a huff. two days later she comes back in saying that the HDD is not working so we take the computer in to look at it, we open it and the HDD is nowhere to be seen, so we ask her where it is. and it turns out that she scanned it and put the scanned image on her desktop to install the drive. and to top that off she threw away the drive she paid almost $200 for and she wanted us to give her a new one.

    So, here's my experiences, that I can come to think of now:
     
    - After I've fixed a computer for a friend or relative, they always blame me for every future problem.
    - Two guys were talking in an MMORPG I used to play, and one of them said that he overclocked his hard drive and his computer is now more than twice as fast.
    - Whenever I tell someone that I like computers and technology, they always assume I just post stuff on Facebook and play Farmville all day long.
    - My mom freak out every time an email from someone she doesn't know, slips through the spam filter and end up in her inbox. Something worth mentioning is that she use hotmail, so she freaks out a lot.
     
    Edit: fixed the formatting.

    what are the prices you would pay for each of these?
     
    oh and what are the rest of your specs?, because this will determine if you can run games that need more than 2 gb of vram...

    It should perform similarly to a Hyper 212: http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=2221&page=4
    It's called the CNPS9700NT. ZF1125BTH is just the fan's name.

    You're doing something wrong. The stock cooler thing is irrelevant. It should not run that hot. You probably messed up the mounting on the cooler.
