I am going to attempt to install iATKOS S3 on my Dell since ML doesn't work so well on it. Should go fairly nicely since I already know how to do it for the most part.

 

Currently browsing the forums during school. I love getting my work done early.

Psh, work. Who does it. (I'm at school right now bored out of my mind)

BF4 just decided to stop working. I get 24 fps now in the lowest setting possible lel

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

I was trying to figure out a way to get 75Hz again on my monitor.

That and I had to cut the axle of a dc motor to sort of fix an old cd player.

The stars died for you to be here today.

I reinstalled Windows 8.1 on my tablet, recovered from the Dell system backup on I had made a couple months ago on a USB flash drive. (And further backed up that flash drive with Acronis, so I could format it even if I wanted and just recover it later on)

 

I'm still in the process of installing the couple hundred windows updates... After more than 6 hours.

 

Put Win8.1 back on it just because I will most likely need it to upgrade to Windows 10 on july 29. (As I don't have a product key for it... so I doubt that I could've activated Win10 from the insider preview.)

I turned my brother's wired arcade pad into one with a detachable cable using a RJ45 jack. Works perfectly!

Installed the GTX 650 I've just upgraded from in my work PC. Turns out that it plays GTA V at 1080p perfectly well and I didn't need to upgrade. Oh well.

I opened up my PC so I could rip out the drive cage and ghetto mount my hard drive on some foam because it was vibrating like crazy and driving me up the wall. I also cleaned the dust filters and tried (and failed) to manage my cables a little better. I can't wait to replace this godawful non-modular PSU.
