General computer talk/advice

From left to right: Keith Urban Special Acoustic, Raven Telecaster, Chinese "Gibson Les Paul" (It's so fake), 1950 Re-Issue Fender Telecaster (Mine, I love it to death, behind chair), Takamine Acoustic, Washburn Eagle, Raven Stratocaster, Washburn X50-Proffesional

There are so many more that are unpictured it's not even funny, my dad and I are collectors.

 

That's awesome, I knew I saw leased one or two Fender's there.

 

And while you noscope all the noobs, you can still play an epic metal solo Ac/Dc style.
Nice.

 

metal. ACDC. Same sentence. Shame on you.

 

C'mon. I haven't listened to hard rock/metal for a long time.

More like that?

 

Ahhh memories, I played Street Rod 2 all the time as a kid.



Still waiting for the hard drive to get here, booting Dos 3.30 from a floppy.

 

Ordering this tomorrow(or maybe just maybe XFX idk). Am really really hyped

 

ayyyy i just got an xfx 390. great card. i say xfx. even if you get the msi you will be happy tho.

 

Btw, how good are the Asus STRIX, given that your case is big enough to fit them?

 

The STRIX cooler is arguably the best air cooler available for GPU's.

 

And today the 4 hour battery in my craptop lasted about 2 hours.

This stupid thing is falling apart after 8 months of service, thanks HP!

 

Thanks for the info.

4 hours is pretty short anyhow.

 

Ordered just now. Went XFX which also saved a few £ too.

 

TIL: Dell sells an XPS 13 "Developer Edition" which features a 256gb SSD, Core i5 cpu, 8gb of ram, and comes preloaded with Ubuntu Linux for the low, low price of $1,100.

And they say MacBooks are overpriced...

 

I can stick 8GB RAM and a 250GB SSD on my Thinkpad for £100. Laptop was £160. New laptops are hilariously overpriced.

 

The T420 probably was either when it came out.

 

When it comes to ThinkPad's you're paying for the reliability and dependability, not to mention the years worth of testing and ease of maintenance. Oh and full next day on site support as well as the fact that you can open up a ThinkPad without effecting your warranty.

Yes I'm very butthurt over ThinkPad's

 

That's no butthurt, that's fanboyi... I mean "respecting a product for debauched, true reasons".
Is that still true with newer models, btw?

 

As far as I know yes. It is.

 

My third monitor came and turns out it was broke to bits in shipping :/

Thankfully it wasn't expensive and the seller is getting insurance on it so at least I get some money back.
