Tech Confession Time!

[mozoa]

I DON'T MIND MEMBRANE KEYBOARDS!!!

 

There! I said it.

I'm sorry tech world. 

^^ This, my G110 is still going strong

 

Also, i bought a SSD when it was still fairly new, now i got a 60GB Agility 3 for the price i could get a 120GB one for now.

All my major programs run from *shiver* HDD, a hitachi one, that is. i have a Caviar Green in my system too, i really should move everything over before hitachi shits the bed.

 

Oh, and i got 4x4GB RAM for a motherboard maximum of 16 GB.

now i will never be able to reuse it in a new board with a higher maximum

and it was like.. 50 cents more expensive than 2X8.

I am smart.

I fucked up my system again and again and it mostly survived!
1.I left the roof window open and went outside with friends. clouds came and it began to rain the still running pc witch stood under the open window got flooded and still ran when i came home. there were 2cm of water on the bottom of the case.. it wasn't full because it was vented...

2. i spilled so much coolant while working on the loop that the id-number of my gfx card is now unreadable.

3. i opened my psu to change the fan. when testing the fan i touched the psu and got shocked.
   then i touched it again.

3.1 i dropped something in my psu and it exploded. smoke and a little flash came out.... and i used it for 2 more months until:
 
4 my raped motherboard was treated so bad, it made my cpu run extremely warm. when i wanted to check the cooler i bent two pins..
   I wanted to straighten them together with my friends but we were drunk so i dropped a flashlight on the socket and bent 5 more pins...

5. I ran my 2500k on 4,7 @ 1,45v for 1 1/2 years...

6 i totaled my xonar dgx when i plugged a few fans into a diy fansplitter on my fancontroller and shorted my system...

I AM VERY SORRY FOR EVERYTHING I'VE DONE!! I SWEAR I WON'T DO IT AGAIN ( i bought a new setup because i couldn't live with the named points^^ )

just get a psvita or 3ds they are full of RPG but dont get nether the psvita 2000 or 2ds

 

mobile gaming sucks and 3ds makes my eyes tired.

 

Gaming should be placed in still place like desktop or TV.

 

But I'll get the 2DS cos it is darn cheap.

For everyone saying "ive pirated XX" hope you know your breaking the CoC

I build most of my computers on carpet w/o grounding myself.

 

I have a nonmodular PSU

 

My original PC was a bundle from newegg.

Buying my parts one-by-one and spending too much money on trivial pc parts. ($1600+ pc with only a 7850 )

Well, I'm not guilty of pirating games, I've never pirated a game, that I haven't bought later. E.g. Pirated Skyrim, then ended up buying the complete edition during the Steam Summer Sale. I've redeemed myself + I always try to buy CDs when I can instead of downloading them. I don't pride myself on pirating, though the bottom line is that pretty much everyone has at least once. My friend tries to justify pirating and it makes me somewhat sad

[Excon]

Couldn't decide on a case and just YOLO'ed it with closed eyes whatever the the cursor landed on I bought. Was a CM Storm Scout 2, what a waste of 100$.

[Saladin]

i built my first computer on carpet and didn't test it before i built it in the case... everything was fine. i still have nightmares where it doesn't post. :blink:

[Damonster5000]

I use a 2.5 hdd instead of a 3.5 with my ssd

[Zeruel]

When I built my first rig, I built it outside on the motherboard box to test it out. Smart, but I let one of the intel stock cooler fan wires get caught in the fan itself. The bios told CPU fan error I looked at the cool and didnt know what was wrong and felt the heat of the cpu. I checked my temps and my haswell i7 4770k was reaching 75-80c. It probably should of concerned me but i left it on for minutes, usually thats how hot my macbook intel core duo gets. Anyways minutes laters I saw one of the fan wires got caught in the fan and removed it and it started spinning to cool my cpu to 45c

I have two 60hz TN panels

[Dopplegangers]

I have a few things I need to confess.

 

1. I used the default driver cd once when I bought a new graphics card.

 

2. I cheaped out on my psu and fans, so now my computer makes a decent amount of noise.

 

3. I use a 60 hz LCD TV as my main monitor. D:

 

4. I used to format fat 32 drives using the default Windows formatter.

 

5. I bought Duke Nukem Forever.

once upon a time (not so long ago) I spilled some of my coolant on my gpu when draining my loop, but tired and exhausted I didn't dry it completely before turning it on.

 

the coolant was conductive....

 

the gpu survived, but yea after a few blue screen saying the GPU had issues...

 

never again...

When i bought my first laptop / tablet pc it was $2000 and a downgrade in specs from my home built ~$400 desktop not sure of the price of the desktop it was built in 2003-4 laptop was bought in 2005 

I spent $1200 on my current system and used it for playing fps games before buying a new mouse the old mouse was a 9 year old logitech $9 300dpi mouse lol 

Was and amd and ati fanboy that should date that as they were different companys

fried 3 video cards in a shuttle motherboard before questioning if it was the motherboard (thats 3 in one day just trying all i had on hand)

lost 3 years of graphic design school work because i didn't back it up when i had 4 external hard drives and 5 ide hard drives sitting within 2 feet of the computer at anything

 

still don't own an ssd

can i reccomend SMC fan control? my macbook used to get 80 too, but now only 60 under light load.

recognizing you have a problem before you do something is a good step to solving the problem lol

[Talsyrius]

I bought star wars the old republic II twice, once on disk and once on steam, because I was too lazy to plug in the sata cable for my disk reader D:

Also I have to move from my 500mbit connection soon QQ My life will be so shallow afterwards.
