Tech Confession Time!

[Nowak]

I have a $1000 PC and use it to play Pokémon.

[1Scotty1]

I have a 4790K, Z97 mobo and a Kraken X61 - running at stock clocks

AIO cooled 3570k and a watercooled (with a AIO) 780ti, both not overclocked. - I don't trust the little cooling fan.  

 

So you aren't alone.

What is worse, I am waiting for EKWB to start selling a fullcover waterblock for EVGA GTX970 SSC and I want to watercool my GPU separately and later add a second one tell me, is that normal?

I guess it depends on the objective. Silence vs. performance vs both.

I want both, but I have never done a custom loop before, so kinda scared actually, that I fook up somewhere

[Sir Asvald]

I use an 1280x1024 VGA monitor with a GTX 770 ;(

Damn. I feel sorry for you.

Accidentally defragmenting my SSD

 

also, 500th post!

[JohnQ]

I once posted a picture of Beats headphone and captioned it " Cause music enthusiasts deserves the best ".

 

Sigh. 

[Real_PhillBert]

Back when I was young and naive, I bought two Monster Cable M1000 HDMI cables for >$150 each...

 

They are really nice cables but... yeah.

[Redsun20]

I still use a membrane keyboard from 1990 to do all of my gaming and work. Worst of all, my chair does not have armrests that reach the table; I might as well just say "come on in RSI, you are welcome here!"

[carguy86]

I named my k70 rgb mx brown switches name: Aswaldo Brown

[UnderSeaGaming]

I make fun of my console scrub peasant friends, but use integrated graphics.. :'(

[CriticalTrees]

No kidding, I still use Windows Vista and DDR2 RAM.

[Exploded117]

I use a core 2 duo, DDR2 RAM, and a GT series NVIDIA graphics card

I also run 32 bit windows on a 64 bit computer....

EDIT: I also use VGA even though I have an HDMI cable in the living room hooked up to my DVD player.....

EDIT 2: I am a really messed up person.

[hypnodog]

I haven't gamed in two months (though I'm forced to lol), I still use a membrane keyboard, but that's for $ reasons so...

[max_n_cheese11]

I have a 4790K, Z97 mobo and a Kraken X61 - running at stock clocks

I am in the EXACT same situation.

I made component decisions for my rig mainly based on color....

[CommanderRykerHaunSolo]

I have a question for you two then. I've thought about this for awhile now. A controller has two joysticks. Left one is usually for movement. Right one is often for changing your view. What if controller makers started putting a trackball in place of the right joystick? Essentially it would act like a mouse which we all know gives better control then a joystick for changing your view and especially for FPS games which I think would be better. You should be able to have more control and turn/move your view faster.

What do you think of this idea?

Google REvovle I think he released it

[SOUTHwarrior]

I always go the power user route. Even if it means spending more on stuff...

[EllieThePurpleFuzzy]

bought a graphics card just because it had higher vram (thankfully it was my 550Ti/Part of why i bought my 7970ghz but i have reasons to own a 6GB one (But then again 6GB Vram for 1X 1920X1200 + 2x 1366x768 screens and only gaming on the 1920X1200 one)

I have a 4820K ....Stock clocks. (But 4820K has that higher quality intel IHS? keeps it 20-25C cooler than my 3770K was)

I had a 3770k and a Z68 Motherboard, Stock clocks even with 212 EVO.

I bought the 3770K partially cause it had 32GB RAM (It was a built system)

I dont run my Supernova G2 on fanless mode + Couldn't stand the thought of using a PSU with a automatic fanless function....i like the fan to be on and staying on even if the PSU will run cool enough.

I just realised when i had a GTX 590 i was using a 60hz monitor. (my 1920x1200 one). So a waste of that GPU horsepower then + Running the freaking thing on a CX750....never again.

[RuffRuffmcgruff]

when I was 3 years old I ruined a new PSU -I read a book about short circuits and stuff so I tried to implement what I learned -

You could understand electronics at 3 years old? Damn dude

[ZarosTenjin]

i used to defend membrane keyboard to the bone until i got a mechanical... i also used to turn on mouse acceleration when i was just starting with computers because i thought it meant that i could play faster with it turned on (age 11)

[yippy3000]

I am using an Apple Keyboard with my brand new $2000 gaming rig because I love the feel and think it is the best keyboard I have ever used.

 

Also, for a tech guy, I do not own a sound system, my TV is 32" 720p that is plenty for me and I think $50 is the max anyone should ever spend on headphones.

[ammarez]

I started to talk before the age of 1,

Since then I spent my free time studying, my grandparents used to teach me everything they could at a very young age

At the age of 6, I hated the shit they taught at schools, I didn't stop studying just didn't study what they taught their

I got 8A* (IGCSE) without studying and I was sick because of the panicking & intense amount of pressure

So understanding what a short circuit is at the age of 3 was not that hard

pulling the keyboard of  my laptop never went back on
