    Technically, yes the tower was originally known as the CPU. For the most part it still is as most of the reason companies like HP and Dell put the processor name in the specs is to take advantage of the placebo effect.

    Maybe buying just the cable?  Guy has high seller rating, so I doubt you get that with deceptive page, and this could just be a copy paste of a spec flyer or such. but...
    Edit to add that positive feedback is apparently 24.. not that huge, and the profile says he/she is in Germany.

    The one time I had to invoke paypal on someone it went fine. I ordered too before I realized that could be taken to mean you get _just_ the cable.  I figure if it was a typo listing it will get taken down.  Probably be more than 5 days for me since it's shipping from Germany.  Lets meet back here and discuss how it turned out?

    Ya.
    Yes, I am technically wrong.
    However, this is an image that explains what most schools I've been to teach. It is not technically correct, but most common folk don't know that.

    My friend was bragging about his Alienware computer with:
    -Intel i7-4790(non-k)
    -proprietary mobo.
    -proprietary 1tb storage
    -reference gtx 970
    -intel stock CPU cooler
    And you know whats the best part? It costed him (not including any monitors or peripherals) over $2300!!!
    So yeah he's praising the gods over at Alienware and I'm just sitting there cracking up over how much he got ripped off.

    I'm sure whatever they do there will be 10 million butthurt people and 300 million watching the movie.
     
    That 300 mil includes the butthurt people, after all they might want to watch it before they complain to their Tumblr blog.

    how? 
    I'm not even much of a fan, but 
    the prequels are so bad they're fun to watch, and the OT is pretty cool, even if it's not your thing. 
    My opinion at least.
    I mean the whole star wars craze is cool in itself. The amount of people dressed up and all that when I saw the premier was crazy

    "So I heard Nvidia came out with their $1000 Titan X.
    But it only has 12gb of memory
    And my PS4 has 500gb
    I don't understand
    Wouldn't that make the PS4 more powerful?"

    I was assembling my friend's Z170, 6700k build. I was opening the CPU box to install the CPU into the socket when my friend comes around the corner with greasy pizza fingers while holding a slice. He then proceeds to walk to the motherboard sitting on the table, point, and touch the CPU socket. Then asks, "What does this thing do?!"
     
    At that point I got very wide eyed and ushered him out of the room. He could not figure out why I started to freak out, and then said, "You can have a slice of pizza too! I saved you some!"
     
    /facepalm.
