What Kind of Geek Are You

[SuperShermanTanker]

I would consider myself a complete geek and I like mainly desktops, and laptops and am not too much into the mobile/tablet side of things

Fixed it now I just have to add the second poll that should be there

I'm a software nerd, I like programming and programs and trying out different stuff and looking up different driver stuff and compression and all that stuff.

Of course software covers games too and yeah I would say I'm a nerd in that too (game modding and stuff), but also a huge nerd for programs (mainly image manipulation/digital art programs lately)

[steezemageeze]

Ah damn, I can only pick two. I'm kind of an all-around geek, I like building computers, I like tearing laptops apart, I like Linux,  I like programming, I like mech keyboards, I like audio... yeah I'm a goddamn nerd.

 

EDIT: Lol I like the new poll better. How'd you know I was a sentient turnip?

[SuperShermanTanker]

you guys might have to revote because it was broken at first

No I think it's fine now. I don't think you need to do that

I'm going to leave this poll alone for now because I got it to work and I don't want to create another post that is going to be borked too

I'm a complete geek, the best and worst kind (I spend a lot of money on geek stuff but at least I make a lot of money off geek stuff).

Once you get into servers regular desktops seem boring. For example I have a dual Xeon server with 32GB's of DDR3 ECC RAM and that's WAYYYY more dope than a regular desktop.

there comes white stuff out of my pee pee when i touch expensive new tech  hahaha

very true, I feel like servers are the dreamland of hardware (who needs a plebby i7 when you can have 22 core xeons??)

Yah I tried to get into servers but since I live at home with my parents still its kinda hard to do networking when your father says you can't touch their router so I'm going to have to wait until I rent a apartment

I'm actually upgrading my server to dual 6 core processors, so I'll have 12 cores and 24 threads.

I still live at home, I'm a 17 year old high school junior. You can do plenty of stuff even if you're not allowed to "mess with the router" port forwarding which you may want to do for certain applications is super easy and shouldn't even be noticeable by you parents unless they're looking for it.

Nice, which xeons? my build featured 2x 6 core X5680s are the beginning of the year

I currently have two X5550's, but I'm upgrading to two L5640's which have more cores, and a lower TDP meaning they'll be lighter on the power bill as well as easier to cool. They have a slightly lower clock speed but that doesn't bother me.

Nice! I can feel you on the cooling part, that's why I sold them in the first place  that gen of chips can get toasty!!

My X5550's are pretty decent, with 1U coolers on both the stay at 40c under idle and only get to 60c under a full load.
