Broke off the plastic thingy that "holds in" the gpu on the pci.x16 port.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

Not that you really needed it, only if you ship your computer a lot.

Mine's gotta be when I was a kid, I got suckered into buying a gtx 7500 LE, little did I know, The LE stood for Light edition... oh yah and at the same time, I thought that because it was a dual core it would be fast.
 

That was the motivation that started me to get into tech/pc. Had to learn all about cpu's and gpu's because I didn't wanna get ripped off when I replaced those two shitty parts.

I break those off on purpose these days, except for the more modern push down type with wings :D

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Is it weird that I haven't really had a noob moment? I guess I just think over stuff more than the average person.

Getting a laptop thinking it would perform very good as its a i7 and it's a quad core! After 2 years and knowing more than 10x the knowledge I had prior to the time I purchase my laptop. I feel so noob :( it cost so much too. With that amount I could run games at 1080p with stable 40-60fps depends on the games! My laptop could only run games which demands so little for example DotA 2 at 20-30 fps at lowest settings.

Sorry for my bad English >.<

Bought a 27" Asus monitor that was 1080p without considering how huge the pixels would look. It drove me to buy my beloved U3011 though, so it's all good. :)
