I like the Windows Vista UI

I like the Windows 8.1 start menu and im sad they are taking it off on Windows 10

I own Raer products and I dont think they have bad quality (except for the Onza)

My monitor is 1366x768 but at least its DVI

I like Vista's UI better the 7 as well. Esspecially the taskbar, why couldn't they keep the black task bar in 7/8.

Normandy - Intel Core i5 3470, 8 GB Corsair Vengenace LP, EVGA GTX 960 SSC, Gigabyte GA-Z77M-D3H-MVP, WD Blue 1 TB, Seagate 320 GB (steam), Seagate 320 GB (experimental, second OS, etc), Windows 8.1 + Ubuntu 14.10

I got a Z87 board with a locked CPU. SHAME ON ME!

 

 

I really want to invest in a macbook for college although I have the option of getting a gaming laptop, I just cant decide which one...

 

For college I would go with a macbook Pro. For my experience, the battery will last longer than on almost any windows laptop. For gaming, use a proper desktop :D

I bought an Fx-6350 instead of an i3

I'm tmcclelland455, and I'm running a 1080p @ native, but can barely watch 360p at that resolution.

 

I took out my 120GB EVO with Windows 8.1, threw my 160GB Momentus 5400.6 back in my netbook, and installed Windows XP off the recovery CD.

 

I have a Corsair M40 and never use it (since I don't have a nice rig to use it with).

 

I'm going to pair a GTX 480 Engineering Sample up with what is basically a dual-core Sempron 145 (since both of the cores will be unlocked, hopefully).

I can't really get into any game anymore... I'll play it for 2 hours max and then probably never launch it again. 

 

Seems I have this problem too, to a certain extent. Very few games capture my attention in the way games used to.

 

I also love the Windows 8 start menu, and I like how Vista looked.

I once used Internet Explorer when I used to be a Firefox user (this was LONG ago)

 

I use a wireless Microsoft Sculpt keyboard for my gaming life

 

I once paired a Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 with an i7 3770.

I have an Asus Eee Pc 1015pn. It's still what I use for school because I'm too broke to afford a better laptop. It's got a shitty Intel Atom N550 and nvidia Ion GPU.

When I first joined the forum I posted asking for a build. Not knowing compatibility things I took what I thought were the best parts from two submitted posts. 

 

 

I ended up with a Xeon in an AM3+ MOBO :P

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

I don't mind. 

 

I laughed too when I realized what I did wrong :P

When I first got into PC gaming I pirated a game (I was 12, honestly didn't know it was illegal) and when I tried to crack it I was replacing the shortcut with the cracked exe instead of the actual exe file and wondering why I couldn't get it to run. LOL

I prefer TN panels.

 

Any particular reason why? Price? Refresh rate? Input lag?

Price and input lag (or general lack thereof). I don't mind the color inaccuracy.
