Wow :p one of the more technical fails.

Like a pseudo-desktop right? If so that's pretty much how every single on of my laptops has been...

 

This laptop has actually been the most mobile with my occasional playing Kingdom Hearts roms when moving between my parents' houses

Yeah. I don't use it for anything else than for a second screen for YouTube or whatever because I have an Alienware X51 for gaming.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

I know :\ The worst is that I didnt say it was after 5 minutes of installing Windows on my computer...

At least the mobo was under guarantee

Fair enough ^_^ can't wait for my rig this year but here's the kicker.... I'm most likely going to be using this same 1600x1200 monitor with my planned build.

Nope £854.41 :p my exact budget is £860 and this falls barely inside it; a beast though V_V and the monitor to go with it will be this hunk of junk... or the 800x600 monitor I have under my bed XD.

Well, I was rounding, but okay. Still a NICE build for £860 with dual 7950's in CFX.

:p I'm a very specific number person I try to avoid rounding to more than 10.

If I had an extra £50 I would have got a 120MM AIO and an NF-F12.

Or get a Noctua Nh-D14.

I don't really believe in any kind of air cooling above the hyper 212 evo; just because of all the water cooling benefits.

seriously stop using it, it is one of the least secure browsers

 

Well chrome doesn't allow you to delete cookies as part of Google's master datamining plan. Also, I don't like firefox...

I dual boot Vista for various reason, I love Vista, but that isn't a dark secret, none are but I'll tell some oddities.

 

I don't mind COD.

 

I prefer consoles most of the time because my friends play on them and my name (THAT I USE FOR EVER SITE EVER) was taken on Steam so it irks me. I wish I could buy it or something, I'd gladly pay like 200 bucks for it.

I'll confess, i just upped the multiplier by a fair amount.. and i had the auto-voltage of my board on.

Thank god it is stable (for normal use, I did not try Prime95 because that is a completely unreallistic scenario)

Attempted to take off the screws from the bottom panel of my laptop using the wrong size screw driver. I managed to completely shave off the ridges. Now the ridges of five of the screws, holding it in place, don't fit a Philips head nor a flat head. It's just a circle. The bottom panel is stuck forever. You can say I SCREWED up but I'm not amused.
