    purplepenguin202 got a reaction from da na in Experiences with non-techies   
    My grandmother asked me why she couldn't use Outlook Express on her new Windows 7 computer I built her.  She also called me while I was on a date to ask if the search in windows 7 is the same as run from xp.

    Your title is a bit of an oxymoron, bang for buck means you save money by taking a performance hit, but no compromises means you spend extra to get every last bit of performance

    purplepenguin202 got a reaction from GDRRiley in Can I build my pc on carpet?   
    I would recommend building on the glass table because it will prevent your components from being shocked.  The wooden floor would also be acceptable, but building up static charge on the carpet is likely, and that could damage components (so I would personally avoid the carpet).

    It would appear that the cooler sticks out more than the gpu (towards the side panel) which isn't apparent in the second picture, but it gives the illusion of being closer in the first picture.

    My Mionix Naos 7000 works amazingly for me, I would definitely recommend it.

    Well you also have to take into consideration that amazon has to make money on these things somewhere.  Prime subscribers definitely don't cover the cost of all those servers.  You pay a premium for the convenience.
     
    I really want some cases/watercooling stuff to go on sale!

    purplepenguin202 reacted to dasr1985 in The Wan Show   
    Perhaps I am just an only fan (with this idea) who remembers the early days of the Live Stream before the WAN Show (Which is great btw), but I wonder if we could bring it down to a vote from the forum to suggest that Linus Media group bring back the "garage" back drop into their new WAN show room.  Referencing some of the old videos in the archive the idea that they bring back that look and feel (of the garage days) to the new WAN show room would be kind of bad ass in terms of viewing it like "We are always improving but we are still the same" kind of way. 
     
    What I mean by back drop is literally just the colors and the wall that held famous items as well as the random bookshelf with random stuff on it.  Idk, just my .02 and thought I'd share.  I remember being excited gaming on one monitor and watching the live stream on the other at 11pm (CST) on Friday nights all the way back to when Linus was streaming from his house all by himself!

    Yeah I like my 4770k but eventually I'll be building a separate PC for the DAW so I dunno if I should just get more RAM and use the other for the epeen gaming or the other way round. I'll figure it out. I do know that I want your case because the more room my case takes up the less room she can claim for her extensive clothing collection which is 1 wardrobe for tops 1 for trousers 1 for dresses 1 for jumpers. I need to claim to space
