    Me too, but since that's not possible due to
    a) my stupid case
    b) my stupid psu and
    c) the inability to even remove the graphics card that's in there in the first place
    I'll have to stick with my 750 untill this PC breaks, or I can afford a new, wich will be, like, never.
    Like 6677 said, welcome to why prebuilts suck.
    The next PC I get will be self-built.
    Well, atleast the parts will be chosen by me.
    If I was to get the parts, and I would have to put it together myself, I'd be sitting there for about 1 day connecting all of the wires, only to find out that I did literally everything wrong.

    The front panel wires are all the same size though, aren't they?
    Also, the GPU is unremovable because the screw is placed so badly, that I'd need to drill a hole into the case to get it out.
    In order to get it out wthout doing that, you need to use magic, pretty much.

    Have a look about a bit. There may be a 2nd panel that slides back or something to reveal the screw.

    Somebody had to put the screw in there in the first place, it therefore must come out again.


    Front panel wires are probably the trickiest part. They are labelled though.

    The screw is directly under the frame bit though.
    Mabe they used some special screwdriver or something.

    I know that the front panel wires are labeled, but there's no way to tell wich goes where.
    On my Windows XP PC that's right besides me, the cables are labled, and they have color codes, but those color codes don't mean anything.
    The red cable, wich is labled as "POWER SW" goes into a black connector.
    The red plug that you think it would go into, wich coincedentally is the only one that actually has a lable, says "HDD", wich actually makes sense.
    I should probably just never touch cables on a computer again.
    Ever.

    It will be printed next to the header. Not the clearest thing ever, but a diagram is right next to it and should also be in the manual for the motherboard.

    If its a hex head rather than philips, flathead or torx, you might simply need a balldriver. Should be able to get one in a hardware store.
    Or if you have a screwdriver with interchangeable heads, try and twist that head by hand rather than putting it in the hex driver.

    Well that just happened...
    569df59b2a.jpg
    Hotel I was in nearly caught on fire. It only happened around 15 minutes ago as I'm typing this now. Was sound asleep when the fire alarms started sounding. Still sound asleep when security knocked on the door. I was only woken up when mom came bursting into my room. After that, the whole thing is somewhat hazy. I scrambled for to find shoes, then rushed down 8 flights of stairs. By the time I got outside, it seemed like most of it was over. Hear snippets of conversations that suggested it was some small fire that had started near the lobby. Everything's fine. Nobody hurt, and nothing burnt. Now I really need to get to bed.

    My little brother is spleeping in mm bed now.
    I'm a bit afraid that he'll wake up any moment.
    Than again, I'm typing this on a mechanical keyboard with clicky switches, wich probably isn't a good idea if I don't wanna wake my little brother up.
    Well, than again, there's a "riced" BMW that's about 1 million dB loud driving around our street right now.

    I tried making a lightning pattern like on this car.


    (imported from here)

    I ended up making a PS2 startup screen.

    I've just had a really stupid question come to my mind.

    Since BeamNGs physics are running at 2000hz, I'm intrested in knowing what would happen if your framerate would be over 2000.
    Would the whole game just freak out or would nothing happen at all?
    Also, yes, I know that this is literally unachievable with todays technology, but I just wanted to know what would happen if it would be achivable.

    I would think that turning graphics settings to something ridiculous like 240 x 180 and on a map like the void with a highend GPU could yield FPS in the thousands.

    Also, probably nothing would happen, just that normally, the physics update much faster than the display; in this case, the display would update before the physics. It wouldn't look any different, and it would probably still work.

    I want a cheap full size wireless mouse for my laptop to replace the ancient Logitech travel mouse I have. I don't want to pay over $20 or so. I was looking at a G602 but those are too expensive for me. Any recommendations?

    some people gaze at lightning to feel the power!
    I'm probably gonna get a 960 for the same reason. You could do the same?
    Try using a set of pliers to get the screw out. It'll bite up the screw, but it should come out! (my case has the same issue, and pliers work well for me)

    I like the surgeon general's warning better than those gruesome pictures and stories and stuff, and I don't even smoke.
    Especially the commercials that are broadcasted to the general public. I eventually turned the radio station in the car the other day because I got tired of repeatedly listening to a commercial in which a woman describes in detail the medicine that she has to get injected directly into her eyes.
