Is that serious? Lol, like LITERALLY a note 3 screen, not just the panel itself ordered by them?

Suddenly, Google's VR cardboard solution doesn't seem so bad...

The highest watt device they tested would cost the average American household $.02/DAY..... 2 cents per day.
 
EVEN if there was a way for your router to also be your modem..... You're just being ridiculous. You used more electricity to make this post and revisit this thread than you would have saved to begin with. Congratulations on wasting all that money.
 
Just stop with your ridiculous cost savings theory and get the modem.

why i no live in Canada
why!!!

Irn Bru is Gods nectar!

WELL, I'll have YOU know that my dad also gave me a FOUR GIGABYTE SD card.

How can you live with a non-native resolution (by choice) person?

"normal" people think that's too big of a job to look and uncheck the checkboxes that install useless crap like toolbars or aditional programs

This is gold... +1 for screwing with his stuff.

guy in my class turns pc off, screams at the teacher that the computer broke, a while later i was messing around with a laptop at college, put a usb in and it triggered the alarm(some anti school theft bs). I panicked and just turned it off, then this prick(from the first setence) says i dunno shit about pcs, about 20 minutes later i got into his account and put penis pictures in all of his folders

This was some years ago when XP was the most recent iteration of Windows.
 
I was venting about computer issues (my hard drive failed) and a guy asked me how many windows my computer held. Confused, I asked him what he meant. He said, his computer only holds 98 windows, but his daughters holds 2000, so it's like 20x faster. I was truly in disbelief that he wasn't aware that the numbers were years.

A customer came into Micro Center and asked me for help finding a replacement motherboard. As I tried to determine the socket, he made a claim that took me by surprise: He said he had an i7 and had been running it in an AMD motherboard for the past three years. I explained to him that this is impossible, trying with all my might to remain polite in the face of seemingly impossible stupidity, but he insisted, all the time having no clue as to which i7 he allegedly had or what socket it fit into. He claimed he had what he described as a "converter" that allowed him to install his i7 in an AMD motherboard. I then informed him that no such thing exists and that, without having some clue as to socket or CPU model, I'd be unable to assist him. He did not seem pleased.
 
Another customer came in looking for a CPU cooler for their AMD processor. They then showed their old cooler to my coworker. It wasn't the CPU cooler that piqued out interest, however, it was the CPU itself, which was adhering to the base of the cooler, its pins bent and missing. The customer had simply torn the cooler off of the motherboard, destroying both CPU and motherboard in the process.
 
Customer #3 came in looking for a replacement for what appeard to be a tiny black rubber band. He explained to me that it came out of his hard disk drive and I explained, in turn, that he'd have to get  a new hard disk drive entirely if pieces were breaking off from it. I then showed him over to the 3.5" hard disk drives and spent several minutes on my sales pitch before it became apparent that he didn't need a hard disk drive at all. He started talking about inserting CDs. "So you don't need a hard drive at all, you need an optical drive," I said. He had no idea. I showed him over to the optical drives, where he asked me if the hard disk drive is inside the optical drive.
 
Customer #4 wanted to pump 110 volts into a case fan and I had to explain to him the various number of ways in which this would result in the fan's dramatic destruction.
 
Customer #5 tried to SLI two GeForce GT 610s.
 
Customer #6 wanted me to sell him on a sub-$30 case to house his system that happened to include two GeForce GTX 780s in SLI.

Update #11: Debian, one of the longest installations and a settlement on the sleeving.
 
It's been a while since the last update but I have basically been waiting for the OS drive to arrive. It's finally here and installed, so far it works flawless but only time will tell if it isn't capable of the task. This update will be a little different as I'm pretty much done as far as hardware goes, hopefully I'll be able to provide you with some first time sleeving job in the very near future. Hope you enjoy this one though and please leave some feedback whether you liked this or if you just want to see hardware?
 
Lets start with the sleeving as there's not so much to say about it.
I've been thinking back and forth whether I should go for all black single sleeved cables or with a touch of Vanilla Sands N.17 and Copper-Brown or just with a touch of Copper-Brown. As for the rest of the case I want an overall clean and calm look and I don't think a combination of black, Vanilla Sands N.17 and Copper-Brown will achieve that, I think it'll be too distracting for the eye. I'm still not completely sure whether I want to have a couple of cables with Copper-Brown sleeving, so I'll most likely order enough sleeving to make all black cables and 10m of Copper-Brown in case I want it.
 
What pattern will I make?
All black is self explanatory.
 
Black and Copper-Brown.
With this combination I will only be concentrating about the 24-pin and SATA power cables. The reason for this is that I think it'll look weird with a stripe of Copper-Brown on the 4-pin connector as it will be placed in one of the corners like so:
 
C-B
B-B
 
So this is how I will do the 24-pin and SATA power cables.
 
24-pin (how it could look):
B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-C-C-B-B
B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B
 
SATA Power:
B-B-B-C-B
 
I have to figure out if I can make the SFF-8087 custom length or I can find something on eBay/Amazon with 90-degree headers as well with a better fit length than the ones I have.
 
I tried to calculate on how much sleeving I reckon I'd use/need.

 
Now back to Debian and an explanation to the title of this update.
First of all my SanDisk Cruzer got lost in mail, which added a couple of days in terms of delivery time as the company had to sent me a new one with a private shipping company.
So I tried to prepare as much as possible by sorting out the USB boot drive.

 
So the SanDisk Cruzer Fit finally arrived. Another lighter comparison. It is absolutely amazing that SanDisk were able to pack 16GB of storage in something that's almost the size as the connector itself, there's just a bit of plastic so you're able to drag the stick out again from the computer.

 
This picture shows why I chose the SanDisk Cruzer Fit, it's very low profile which means you wont knock it off by an accident. Another thing I didn't know about the drive is that it is actually stuck to the motherboard really good, it takes a good amount of force to take it out. 

 
My humble workstations for the installation. An old Acer VGA monitor, a SteelSeries 6gv2 and a box as a table.

 
The system is fired up for the very first time, never got around to make a test run before I put the system in the Q25B, which later on turned out to be a minor mistake. Back to my point, as I fired it up for the first time I was in for a very nasty surprise. Look at that LED, it is awful, I'm wondering what the creators of this case were thinking when they had put such a great case together and then chose to ruin it by adding a stupid blue LED for the power button. Luckily this should be fixed by disconnecting the connector from the motherboard. I'm still stunned that they add that LED though.

 
First sign of life, it's detecting my IBM ServeRAID M1015.

 
This was the first time I've been working with a UEFI BIOS, looks great but I actually think I prefer the standard (legacy) BIOS.

 
At first I was trying and my intentions was to install Debian from a 4GB Kingston USB drive from debian-7.4.0-amd64-netinst. This is the beginning of my problems. I have no picture of the main tab (ALT + F1) but when the installer is scanning for disks it got stuck at 50%. From the picture you can see the installer couldn't find any volumes even though the SanDisk was visible in the BIOS. I tried numerous different things to get past the 50% stuck, let me list as many as I can remember.
Reformat the SanDisk drive. Clear CMOS. Connect the USB drives (OS drive and boot drive) to different ports, one drive at a time. Only connect the boot drive.  None of these possible solutions worked and besides from the problem of being stuck at 50% I ran in to another problem, a rather annoying one.

 
As I had to troubleshoot why it wouldn't go past the 50% in the installation I had to reinstall the system a few times, no problems there. Well, suddenly no picture appeared on the screen even though the fans were spinning, LEDs on the LSI RAID controller were on (the system was on). My first attempt to solve this problem was to swap out the monitor but obviously that didn't solved the problem. I kept rebooting the system to get a picture on the screen but nothing happened, sometimes the system would reboot itself (fans stopped spinning for a brief second and then powered on again). 
This really made my day, now I had to problems to troubleshoot at the same time, yay. I kept rebooting the system until I got this on the screen, it looked like this for 20min before it continued. It displayed some text for a very short time but I only saw something about the RAID controller. After a google search it showed that others had a similar problem. Apparently it has something to do with the RAID controller not being flashed.

 
The simple temporary solution to that problem. I'll have to deal with that later on, my first priority was to get Debian installed.

 
My ghetto ass solution!
This will need some explanation. My SilverStone PSU only have 3 SATA power connector which all of them is already connected to the hot swap cage so I couldn't be bothered with taking that apart. My main rig have a lot of spares, so it's basically acting power station for my ODD. Then the ODD is then connected to the NAS and, yeah, I had to elevate my main rig because the cables aren't long enough.
I ditched the netinst. and downloaded a full image instead.
Success, Debian 7.4.0 is now installed.

 
As I final note I want to say that for the installation I was using MG2R's guide; Howto: create your own linux home server using Debian, and it was a charm to work with, especially after the rework.
 
Cheers Shaqalac.

I've been following this since about the time ya started and i have to say that this look very nice.

Intel cores far outmatch AMD cores, so it should be much more powerful, but at a much higher price tag

Is that it? pfffhhhh. 10 raid setup is so oldschool man

Damn I might buy that, cheers mate
