I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Could you edit the picture out your quote? Kind of annoying for everyone to scroll through...

i mean the thing that screws into the connector is connected to a bracket wich is itself connected to the chassis ,

the bigger strain is actually on the cable than on the plug since it has to support about 5~7kg

But the cable could probably do it 

yea i think , but ive seen some rather thin VGA cables , i could support the weight but if its pulled constantly over a corner thats a huge amount of stress and its bound to fail

And that is why I'm glad that I've still got a couple of high quality VGA cables (which allow VGA to match DVI in image quality).

 

Edit: Also, HDMI durability (cables+connector) blows.

  3. CPU is C. P. U. not CeeePeeewww
  4. PSU is P. S. U. not PisssSuuuu
  5. DDR RAM is D. D. R. RAM, not Durrramm
  6. MSI is M.S.I. not MmmmSaaiiii
  7. RGB is R.G.B not RaaaGeeeBbuuu

ArGeBe would be correct cause your just pronouncing the letters

R - ar

G - ge

B - be

Some will try to pronounce rgb as a single word.

It's R O G, not rogue.

ROC is just the letters R O C, which stands for Republic of Canada. 

You don't go and say ROC as "rock".
