    a friend aproaches and asks if you could build them a pc, then a week later when you show up with a parts list that fits their budget they just shove a prebuilt pos in your face saying that the 1000 usd price tag = EKSTREME GAMING MACHINE!!.

    spending less money on a cheaper/worse part that they know theyll need to update and replace in the near future... just spend a little extra and save the extra money down the line

    People who pick W7 over W8.1 in new builds because they "don't like how it looks"

    It's a very general point and you see it a lot on here. You see a lot of people asking questions because they are building a rig for a "friend".  The questions they ask are so basic that they really have no business building anyone a PC. They have no grasp of basics so where do they get off building a rig for someone else? blind leading the blind.

    The logic........ Sooo flawed
    If a cpu has a higher Base clock dosent mean it has a lower oc headroom?!
    Intel is just making the job easier for overclockers as they know most ppl are going to oc over 4ghz+
    I think you will be super futerproof with that cpu I mean just look at 2500k vs 4670k...Its sad
    To the topic it has to be my xbox 360 Slim and any games I bought on it

    Holy hell! Someone is getting fired over this one! At least it showed up at your door and not someone on the less honest side of things. Something like that happened to me once, The company the package was meant for was so grateful they gave me an item off the pallet as a thank you. It was about $300,000 in gaming laptops. Made a sick birthday present for my buddy thats a little less fortunate on the pc side of things then myself

    This was a package going from China to Canada, and somehow in Alaska, it decided to go to Kentucky, where it got my name on the box...somehow. lol There are 101 boxes with 6 iPod Nano 7th generations inside, for 606 iPods, at $150 each is... a lot of money. I first called Amazon to tell them they screwed up, but turns out, it was UPS.
     
    For those wondering, I am contacting people to get it straightened out and no, I'm not "keeping" any of them, I'm giving it back to them as it was given to me, with the box slightly opened, because I thought it was for me.
     
    Edit: I'm aware my address is visible in one of the pictures. I'm moving to a different part of the same town, so it's not a concern.
     
    Edit again: Went ahead and removed the address.

    Back in the 9th grade 2 other buddies of mine and myself started our own school project. Our project was to dismantle a computer, make our own case, and assemble the computer inside the case we built ourselves. For the longest time a friend of mine had been saying that he knows pretty much everything about computers. Turns out he didn't know anything, but i'll get back to that.
    I went to a very cheap-ass school, so there were always trouble with the infrastructure there, so as you probably guessed the computers at the school crashed all the time. Also note that all of the computers were "hooked up" for lack of a better term to ONE Server. This was a big school with around 200+ computers all hooked up to this one server. (Recipe for disaster). Since all of the computers were connected to the same server that would mean that if there was one single error on the server, then all of the 200+ computers at my school would simply not work.
    These computers all went down the drain atleast twice a week making them completely and utter useless. And everytime the system went down the teachers always asked this friend of mine that thought he knew everything about computers. Let's call him Bob to make it easier to follow. Anyways, The teachers would always have Bob look at the computers, and tell them what was wrong. Ofcourse he didn't know what he was talking about, so he said the following: "Yeah, mhm, okay. Yes it seems that you have gotten a network system error inside the processor, it will be back up in an hour". Yes, that is ACTUALLY what he said, let that sink in for a moment. Oh, I totally forgot; The time he said that it was a "Network system error inside the processor". the teachers were trying to figure out why there was no sound from the speakers. Turns out the audiojack was not plugged in.
    Anyways I got really off-track here. My friends and I were assembling the computer into the case that we had built ourselves. When suddenly Bob came by. My friends and I were kind of annoyed at Bob, so we asked him "which one of these components is the motherboard"? I bet anyone here on the forum would be able to point out which component in a computer was the motherboard, right? Bob pointed at the HDD, of course we all laughed, because this was proof that he knows nothing about computers, and was just spewing bullshit all the time. After we all calmed ourselves down, I said: "well surely you know this is the graphics card, right? (I pointed at the CPU). Bob said: "Yes ofcourse, how dumb do you think I am? That's when I almost broke out in tears laughing.

    Since that event he stopped claiming he knew everything about computers and was an "IT-Guru". Anyways, my buddies and I delivered in our assignment, and got ourselves an A.
    Cheers! ;)
