为什么所有的东西是英语

means...

Why all the stuff is in English

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Ouch my eyes! The cable management, blue motherboard and the stock cpu cooler.

Oh and that psu is clearly overkill...

Although that being said she actually built that herself and it's not like I'm sexist but all the girls I know are incredibally tech incompetent. Also when I was building my pc (Before watching Linus) I wasn't that much better than her.

I have no idea it was integrated graphics and since I have some self respect for myself I never used them before so therefor as a noob to integrated graphics I assumed that higher number=newer

I consulted a friend who wanted a gaming PC, told him what to buy and said I charge a 10% flat rate for the first day and hourly after that with free repairs.  On the day I go over to his house to build the PC he tells me he also invited another friend who knows a bit about computers.  I don't know if you know the feeling of being around another tech head, but just the thought got me excited because I know nobody else irl that enjoys PCs as much as I do.  I go over there and explain what's going in the PC, just a simple APU build.  He knew nothing except for basic identification of the parts.  I was super disappointed, so I spent the next 2 hours putting it together while simultaneously explaining and answering questions.  I had a great time doing it, don't get me wrong, and to their surprise it booted up first time, at which point the one friend said, "Hey, I thought this was going to be quiet, you lied to me."  Then I had to explain to him that I had to change the settings in the BIOS, he then proceeded to say the computer didn't come with a BIOS and looked in the case's box.  I was thoroughly amused.

I have an update to this, he has become interested in gaming hardware and even talked about a motherboard he looked at on Newegg, I was so proud.  :)

Had a guy whos iPhone was "getting hot" So I said we would have to send it to Apple. 1: Its already been replaced once and he has no documentation for that replacement. 2: He hasnt backed anything up. 3: He doesnt even have a proof of purchase.

Hes lucky I have sorted my log in for our new systems and could get some of his old IMEI details. The worst part is he complained that he would have to come all the way over from Takaka which is an hour away. But thats not my fault his dumb ass wants to live nowhere near our shop. I could have had it sorted if he had all his paperwork. Today is gona be dumb customers all around.

"I personally have two GT 640's in Crossfire" - A Futureshop Employee my friend was talking to. 

 

We both laughed for a straight hour when he told me. Now everytime we talk tech I tell him to get GT 640's in crossfire lol.

Lol gt640 doesn't support sli, not counting that he said crossfire instead of sli.
