Signing a rogers contract... for 4 years!! :(

 

 

Bought an 850W power supply for a single GPU set up....

 

Then added a second and didn't have to get a new GPU...

 

As for tech fails, buying a TV without an audio output.(besides the speakers)

 

 

I hope you will both forgive the off topic nature of this, but I wanted to let you know that my cat, who my better half does not allow on the desk, a rule the cat usually obeys, loved both of your gifs enough to climb  up and investigate.  This is the first time I can recall him doing this, he seemed to approve. . .  always good to get approval from cats.

Deciding that an EVGA SR-2 motherboard was a good idea for my first build. Looking back, I really had no idea what I was getting into. On its good days it was buggy at best, and I'm pretty sure it wanted to kill me. To this day I don't think EVGA has released a stable bios version for it.

Mines buying a MacBook Pro. Before I really knew hardware. (2.4GHz i5 and 4GB of RAM? $1299!) This is why I don't like apple anymore.

I got $350 and built a computer then realized that it's not that great. Then I bought a $23 case and the temps are horrid.

When I was 13 I got my mum to buy me a "gaming computer" It was a Dell XPS 630i from the Dell outlet. It had and Intel Core 2 Quad, Radeon HD 4850, 1 750gb Seagate HDD, 1 1tb Seagate HDD, 2 Optical drives, Dell OEM mobo, 750w Dell OEM power supply. Worst part about it is that it ended up costing just over 1k USD. Looking back it was a huge waste of money considering a couple of years later I overhauled the system.

Ugh you are making my skin crawl :P

 

Mine is not owning an SSD.

so what if your not owning an SSD, aslong as your HDD performs well.

Only reason I ever needed an SSd was to load BF4 fast enough to reach the begining of the round.

I hardly see performance improvemeents in sc2 loading on ssd for exemple

Still better than mine..

As for me, buying a majorly bottlenecked 7750 and still using a Wolfdale Dual-Core. I hurt ' brain just because of it. ): God, help me get rid of this horrible machine... I love @, but my Wolfdale makes me kill him on the inside.

I didn't listen to my friend and got an EA-750 for my 560 Ti when I was first getting into computers :P

Edit: Oh, and I rushed to get one for my build and didn't get a modular one either. However, it did help teach me to cable manage.

i rushed aswell and didnt really learn how much wattage i needed and i just assumed the more the better, i also didnt really think how much of a difference a modular psu could make :/

And Apollo still beats it booting up.

 

But seriously, try watching anything above 360p full screen on an Atom N270. Impossible. But then you download a video in 720p MP4 format, play it in VLC with increased priority, and you can usually get a steady 30 FPS. The fuck, Atom?

I forgot to order a power supply.

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.

That just blew my mind. My brain is on the wall right now, sliding towards the floor ever so slowly.

512Kbps Internet Speed, can't even watch youtube videos properly and nothing loads when downloading something in background.

My Motherboard, DH61WW which doesn't even support raid or overclocking.

My Android Phone with only 232mb of ram which i rooted recently and removed everything that i possibly could so now i can't even read sms, music, and not even make a call.

My Butt Ugly Case.

400w power supply for HD 6850 and my family won't even let me buy a new one that is sufficient.

 

You could have my grandma's internet. Most of the time there are three to four of us on at any given time, and she has a combined DL of 1.5Mbps and 384Kbps UP.
