Now you've made me cry...

Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the ‘transcendent’ and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don’t be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.

A two and a half year old Western Digital 1 TB Green as my boot drive.

Haha me too, and it's incredible it works. Bad from factory, can barely defrag, spits out errors through amd raid, and cannot pass any hdd utility tests, s.m.a.r.t. fails everything! I'm so screwed when it fails :S !

I don't have much to be embarrassed about. I guess I feel kinda dumb for buying a 2GB GTX 770 now that upcoming games recommend 3GB? The worst thing has to be the Cooler Master Hyper 212+ that sits atop my 3570k. It's actually mounted kinda crooked so it's not perfectly horizontal xD Hopefully I can throw an H80i in there and then things will look better!

to be honest I think a "gaming orientated" laptop is more shameful, then a normal laptop

Some gaming gaming laptops are actual quite powerful. Maybe not for the price but for size they are. Like the MSI laptop with A10 with the 8970m. The 8970m is the same performance as the previous 7970m. Which is as powerful as a desktop HD 7870 but with 3 GB of VRAM.

Sapphire HD5770...

 

I'm wanting to go team green for once and I'm waiting to see what happens in the next few weeks on pricing. Planning new rigs for me and the fiance when that Arc Mini R2 releases.

Eh thought of another most embarrassing pc part I have ....

Broken psu 1000 watts Mushkin Joule that I have not returned to the company even though it is under warranty :Z

Sad that I bought a psu that was not by a known top notch brand for selling psus but worse that I haven't gotten it sent back

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Uhh... I guess Windows 8.

Yep... Even though I paid £25 for pro and media center included, I'm ashamed :(
