daveyjones reacted to Tacitus in x58 mobo died, i7 920 still good. What would you do?
How much would upgrading to a newer platform cost?
How much could you sell of the 920 for?
The difference might not be that much.

daveyjones reacted to NumLock21 in x58 mobo died, i7 920 still good. What would you do?
Upgrade the CPU and board, even though socket 1366 is ancient the price of the board is ridiculous. For X58 it's consider high-end so it's
X58, X79, X99. The X79 supports the older SandyBridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E CPUs and you can still use your DDR3 rams, with 4 sticks it runs in quad channel. The X99 is the most current and support Haswell-E, also does quad channel ram, but it uses DDR4.

daveyjones reacted to SrN95 in What is your favorite CS:GO team?
My favorite would be iBuyPower, simply because they're the only decent NA team, and...AdreN.
Extremely surprised that Titan lost earlier today, I figure they would go to the final for sure, along side NiP

daveyjones got a reaction from FlamingDefibs in What should i upgrade with 1000$
Nothing. You're golden, really, at the point you're at. Slick is still running a 2600k if I recall, and even that can still handle most games maxed.

daveyjones reacted to Excon in What should i upgrade with 1000$
Nothing, everything you have right now is fine. Hold onto your money for a better upgrade.

daveyjones reacted to Admire in Explain Your Username
Mine is really sad......Im 28 now, turning 29 in 15 days. I figured this nick out when I was 13 and needed an email name. Something to "admire"....Kinda stuck. And by stuck, I mean that I don't have enough originality to pick a different one.
Girls are weird.

If Linus can scratch up $1,000 for a camera weight then he should be able to find $2,000 somewhere.

daveyjones reacted to Toby in Would you stop pirating if content did not cost too much?
I've read this over and over, and yet no matter how many ways I try to read it, it still communicates something that's just too ludicrous to have come from the mind of a sane human being.

daveyjones reacted to EChondo in Fox on Violent video games
So..first it was comics, then movies, then music, then rappers, then TV shows and now it's video games?
It'll pass, they'll never see the blame should be put on the PARENTS of the kids who do this.
Idiots.
