Have you ever had a nightmare about technology or pc parts? Last night I had a nightmare that I was buying some more RAM (corsair dominator 4x4gb 16gb kit). But for some odd reason I was shopping at a Walmart and they were selling the ram as mixed kits! Like a 4gb stick of vengeance and an 8gb stick of dominator and so on. I kid you not, I woke up screaming.

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

I had sleep paralysis like 2 years ago. 

1 thief was pushing me onto my bed and another one was beating up my PC, keyboard and monitor.

I couldn't move and screaming was no option too.

 

I've seen some sh*t.

 

Also, my processor is a nightmare.. My build in general is

Oh quite a few:

 

1) 2001 and I was dealing with a blown CPU/Motherboard except back then, locally it was damn near impossible to find anyone with an AMD CPU and Mobo to test. That thought me a very important lesson in PC repairs: Never volunteer to help others unless you actually have spare parts to test

 

2) We're getting ready to visit relatives in the US and I wanted to import a GPU, a 970. Newegg voided my order 2 days before leaving meaning that getting my item would be impossible. It also took 8 business days for me to see the money back in the card

 

3) I broke one of the pins on an IDE hard drive, not even for one of my computers. I ended up "fixing" the problem by inserting a piece of metal wire that comes with the bread bags directly into the IDE cable, it made contact and made the hdd usable.
