Tech Confession Time!

[brownninja97]

I had to move some stuff around in my room and i fell and a bit of my body went into my pc case.

[asim1999]

just look at the relic that is my setup:

I am running a bleeding-edge gaming PC and still use a:

10 year old Dell 1280x1024 75hz 19 inch monitor

10 year old dell mouse 

10 year old dell speakers

10 year old dell membrane keyboard

7-8 year old Samsung ML-2010 monochrome laser printer and Laxmark 7100 series inkjet.

The only thing that could have made the iMac 5k better is maybe try to squeeze in a GTX 980M but I suspect the TDP is too high for what the iMac is currently designed for. Unless their Thunderbolt display gets like a 4k display and is made to be more like an iMac then I guess I'd reconsider building an all in one desk (Where the computer is inside the desk). I think that one thing about PCs I don't like is that they're messy and take up more space than necessary but at the same time on paper and in the real world they often fair better than a Mac just because they have more breathing room in terms of having specs. I mean I said this on another thread but if I saw the need to build a PC too then I would. But it wouldn't be anything fancy since it would be AMD based and running Elementary or Ubuntu or Arch with either Cinnamon or Gnome.

dude check out my thread on the whole 5K imac thing and no-one believed me about putting a 980M in there lol.. they said it was perfect for the price

i forgot to hook up the CPU power 

when i built my X99 rig, i forgot to plug in the CPU and SATA drive power, and my computer just did nothing with fans at full speed lol

[Indus Monk]

I just bought a 600w(could be a 650w) cooler master PSU (people call it crappy) and a brand new GTX660!!!

[asim1999]

well i also used the HD 5450 with my X99 rig before i got my 980

[asim1999]

Oh man 

if u think he is bad, i use a 1280x1024 monitor with my GTX 980!

Would call these a mix of misconceptions and actual embarrassing things:

I thought a membrane keyboard was mechanical.

I really liked Vista because of its looks

I bought a pair of Turtle Beach headphones once

[Rettiekadettie]

I once build a pc and forgot to flip the switch on the back of the PSU,sweat broke out in places i didn't know i could sweat.

Tried reseating everything,ram cpu gpu etc etc,took me about 45 minutes and a whole re-build before i noticed it was the switch.

The things blind panic can do to you... <_<

The second monitor plugged into my GTX 980 will be a Hyundai ImageQuest L70B, using the DVI to VGA adapter.

[ShadowCaptain]

Its based on windows CE and made into a mobile OS, it was the android of its day, was a really cool OS

 

my favourite phone ever was the HTC HD2 it had a really cool OS and you could do anything you wanted on it

[juggawest]

I'm using the keyboard that came with my Gateway (cat hasn't got that wire yet but he did get the mouse) I want something mechanical with rollover and maybe a set of extra buttons as well as volume up, down, and mute colors would be ok but not a deal breaker and a couple of usb ports on it wouldn't hurt also my i3 processor and I need a SSD. anything else maybe down the road.

[Timberwolfhusky]

Its windiws mobile 6.1 running wisbar advance 3 using the Vista ultimate mobile theme I flashed it to 6.1 as it originally ran 5.0... it seems that ALL development on this OS is dead..

Good ol' times.
