Power Supply? You can get a PSU checker on New Egg's web sight. It plugs into 20 or 24 pin connector.

Actually he was just pressing the reset button instead of the power button. He has just gotten off of a 10 hour flight so I don't blame him

Giggawiggles is from a CTRL-ALT-DEL comic of when some noob walks into a PC store saying 'I know all about cee pees and giggawiggles' or something like that.

Linus is my fetish.

I just imagine talking to your spanish teacher like: Ahhh yes, i see the problem now, i can fix your computer. "Really? Thanks". Sadly i do not have the time, since i have to study spanish so much, if only someone could give me a good grade on the next assignment i make so i don´t have to study so much.

The thing is go for extra spanish class from my spanish teacher so he mention that he wanted a desktop and i advised him against a pre build. So yeah.

 

 

He want speed in more compute tasks under $500.

 

No cheap prebuild has an ssd.

Even expensive prebuilts don't have an SSD.

A multimeter is a better option, and is a lot more versatile, and will work with any electronics.

oh, mine is just some random hash.

i dont think its tied to anything, the serial number is less cryptic.

Mine is honestly the most unsecure password - But hey, if someone is willing to spend time to 'hack' it, or brute force while sitting in a dodgy van down my driveway without being noticed, then power to them I guess.

What if they are sitting in a normal van instead of a dodgy one? Are they still allowed to do it?

Power to them if they want to use my 200/200 unlimited fiber connection to watch Netflix, or watch videos stored on my media server (the password to access any of the storage is far more secure).
