    mybeat got a reaction from flibberdipper in Worst Tech mistake you have ever made?   
    Managed to somehow plug the molex connector the other way around on GeForce FX card. 
    It fried in a second after I've powered it on.

    My windows rig is named dosbox, been keeping that name through all the upgrade cycles. 
    Servers are named pinky and brain and their cluster name is world

    mybeat got a reaction from flibberdipper in What ruins the game most for you?   
    - unneeded grind
    - boring gun play (looking at you bioshock infinite) 
    - non/not fully remapable controls (on some I don't even bother past the key config screen)
    - unfinished games/bad console ports
     
    EDIT:
    Oh and how could I forget QTE showed every 5 minutes.

    Don't go with a non reference design if you're planning on watercooling it.

    mybeat got a reaction from Sullivan in Quick question about Corsair H110 Water Cooler!   
    Yes it will come out.
    AIO watercooling kits aren't meant to be disassembled and you'll have trouble assembling the hoses back especially if you don't know what you're doing.

    mybeat reacted to Purple Spy in You may speak English only   
    Is that really a rule? The forums is primarily english speaking anyways, i see no reason to stop people from speaking a different language. I can't see how it has any sort of negative impact on the forum. If you don't want to google translate, then you don't have to read the thread.

    mybeat got a reaction from balint0808 in Why don't you like IE?   
    Because I had to develop web stuff for Opera, Firefox, Chrome, IE (both 6 & 7++). IE always gave me problems with simple CSS stuff.
    Also, it doesn't save previously open pages by default afaik, takes a while to load used to hang from time to time on sites like slashdot.

    What is this TV you speak of? 
     
    Back on topic, I don't own one and the last time I think I watched TV was in 2009 when I was visiting my sisters.

    mybeat got a reaction from joelthezombie15 in Building a custom arcylic case for a school project. what do you want in a case?   
    360 60 mil rad support with push/pull in the top. 
    Removable hard drive cages. 
    Minimal looking front panel.
     
    The more modular it will be the better as it gives more options to the possible end user.

    mybeat got a reaction from joshuamurphy in Using Linux as my main OS?   
    If you've never dealt with Linux, I wouldn't recommend setting it up as a gaming platform. The game choice is quite limited, or involve to much time to make it work (wine) comparing to windows. 
     
    I've been using Linux as a main OS for a while now, but it's work related and I find it more efficient, my gaming rig is running Win8 because I don't have time to bother/fix the issues with gaming on Linux.

    Mount it to the motherboard, boot up, look at tempts in the bios, turn off if it doesn't.

    mybeat got a reaction from Theo in Watercooling, Do you Turn your machine off when you leave for work?   
    I have one pump and never turn off my computer, unless I'm traveling for more than 5 days. 
    One pump failed on me at around 2 am, causing alarm on my fan controller to go berserk, but none of the components were damaged.  
     
    Don't see this as a big issue, since you can set in BIOS max temp after which your PC will shutdown.

    mybeat got a reaction from nokturrduk84 in Metro: Last Light. Charges $5 for 'The way it meant to be played' DLC.   
    Intentionally didn't preorder this one due to past bad experience (A:CM) and now they want extra 5$ for what should really be a part of the game? Thanks I'll pass.
    Now, unless I get it bundled with a graphics card I won't play this legitimately, thanks for saving me 55 euros. 
     
    What I really don't understand is: do they live in a separate universe? how come they don't get that this is definitely a bad PR move and will piss off paying customers, while people who go to TPB will get the same game, for free, with all the features enabled by default.
