[looney]

I'm using IE9 since over a year and actually like it :ph34r:

ie too,  I don't have any off the problems everyone says there are. IDK why?

My laptop has a single core Atom @ 1.6GHz and 1GB of RAM, the graphics is that bad it sometimes struggles to run 480p videos on YouTube... ;)

[smjpl]

 

CALL THAT OLD?? This is old...                 

Still haven't come around to restoring it :(

 

That thing is technologically brilliant compared to the Toshiba T1000 I have at home. It didn't even come with a hard drive. DOS came pre-installed on a 256KB ROM chip. I remember messing around with it when I was like 6 and as far as I know it still works. We just don't have a power adapter for it. I must try source one for it. I'd love to start messing on DOS 2.11. We have had ten generations of windows since this thing was released. I wouldn't know what to do on it even if it did run. Don't have any floppy's for it. Stil;l cool to have though.

• So...I'm using the mouse and keyboard supplied with my prebuilt PC (and now it gets ugly) which is an HP Envy Phoenix h9 I got around two weeks ago coming from an 1.8 GHz Pentium.I really wanted to build myself a custom PC, but in the long run I've found myself with an OC ready 3550K, a 8760 (7770 GHz) and a headphone amp [i think] (Beats Audio) which will serve me well for a good piece of time. 

• I do also like the MacBook/Mac Mini line, the iPad and the iPod touch [and that's it]. 

I also use an HP (yes another one) 23 inch IPS monitor, it beeing the best I could find at my local retailer. Switching from a 4:3 TN it's gorgeous and still I thnik it's a Samsung panel.

[Nertballs]

i'm using TVs as monitors..

[heineygoat]

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

Not your fault, it's been a long while since we have seen games as good as Half-Life 2.

[heineygoat]

I hate Skyrim.

[DeViLzzz]

I push people to get Nvidia because of physX but I have hardly run games with it on in my lifetime cuz it is so demanding and I never get around to play all the physX games..

I said that this thin keyed ONN kb was a great deal at $9.99 and it would end up being a great buy and that is the farthest thing from the truth.  It is total garbage and one of them crapped out after only a year.

I prefer to put computers together sitting in my underwear so I have less chance of creating static and I just feel more comfortable with no pants on most of the time.

I said I would never buy AMD gpus til they got physX but ended up buying one for my son but hey I guess that is not the same thing as me gaming with one.

I use a tv as a monitor and like it better than actual monitors both CRT and the 21.5" Samsung 1080p monitor we have.

My personal pc rig has no media drive currently and yet I always talk about how I want games to come in boxes and I want physical media.

I have bought 2 gaming mice but have never set up a profile cuz I am afraid I will screw it up and not know how to do it and on top of that I find that I can't reach all the buttons on these things anyway so I guess a gaming mouse was a stupid purchase but really I will let myself off the hook on that cuz I didn't pay much for either one.

I have bought over 200 games on pc, consoles and more and have a nice gaming rig but I just don't play games like I used to so kind of crazy to have all those games. (This has been turning around recently though this past year as i have been playing more)

 

I am a keyboard turner in mmorpgs.

I am banned from Sarnia Future Shop cuz they didn't like me telling people to shop elsewhere and not buy FS's extended warranties on things.

I have a psu that cost me $100 and it has a 5 year warranty or so and I have yet to RMA the thing to Mushkin and could eventually end up with nothing out of the deal if I don't stop procrastinating and mail it off.

I did load up Sexy Beach pc game one time but yes I realized how hurtin' that was and got rid of it.

I bought a printer more than 2 months ago now and still haven't gotten ink for it as it didn't come with any.  Why buy a printer if you are not going to buy the darn ink ?

I have dragged my feet for so long not installing an aftermarket cooler I bought in 2010 and it was originally to be in my son's socket 775 pc but now maybe someday will end up in my 1155 rig.

I have a 2500k cpu that has never been overclocked properly staying at stock speeds most of the time.

 

[Jumper118]

i thought a gt610>gtx580 cos the number was bigger  :lol:

[Amrat]

I am running amd phenom ii b55 quad core processor, it's unlocked and i can't see the real temp of the processor because of the two faulty cores which were locked.  :(

[gill2k]

I'm still using the first generation Logitech G15 keyboard and G5 mouse while having gone through two system upgrades already.

[pjm0925]

I tell people to buy a Mac so they won't bother me with questions.  I didn't use motherboard risers on my first build.

[Jay123]

I use included driver disks! jk.

[WunderWuffle]

I hate Skyrim.

^ This. EDIT: Hate is a strong word. I prefer 'Dislike'

 

1 - I have a 2009 Macbook. NOT THE PRO. :(

2 - I bought an Alienware X51 from my brother for $600. He was selling it half off. I hate the 660 non TI. It gives me decent FPS's on high/ultra settings though.

3 - I dont really need/want a sound card.

4 - I have a PS3.

5 - I dont really hate console gamers. I just find most of them to be really immature.

6 - I love Apple's aesthetics. 

 

EDIT: Hate is a strong word. I prefer 'Dislike' @heineygoat

I used the included driver disk for my chipset and such.

only because the bloody network chip would not work without it.

[Mophead]

Everyone has some dark secret about tech that you are just too embarrassed to talk about. Maybe you're still using a trackball mouse (gasp!), or maybe you still run Windows Vista!

 

If everybody can get these things off their chest here at once, we'll all feel better I'm sure ;)

------------

I'll start:  I really think that Ducky keyboards are pretty ugly.  :(

I use a Guitar Hero Microphone for recording audio/talking on Skype.

if it runs stable.. that is pretty damn brutal.

It did run stable, at 85C on battlefield.

[brownninja97]

I once put a ram stick in the wrong direction

[MG2R]

I'm currently using a Mac

;)

[joelthezombie15]

I got another confession that will make people go crazy, I actually prefer Sandy bridge over IB and haswell

I think a lot of people think that, I for one thinks that.

[YellowDragon]

I despise any keyboard that is not a G510 or Model M.

85C? oh. atleast you'll be able to fry a egg on there..
