Re: General discussion chat There should be a Corvette shooting brake. - - - Updated - - - So, just get a SATA cable. Any PSU from 2005 or newer should have SATA power connectors.
Re: General discussion chat never had a single problem ever in fact if anything windows 8 is the broken one, had all sorts of driver issues and stuff like that (i didn't get these problems either myself, but they were pretty common apparently) - - - Updated - - - well, companies have lied before *cough*aliexpress*cough*
Re: General discussion chat Yeah, Windows 8 is broken, Windows 8.1 is more broken. Never had blue screens, but I did have explorer freezing and the side bar thing not working as it should.
Re: General discussion chat It's a laptop and it's from before 05. I think. I hate having to order stuff of the internet. Takes so damn long to get here and shit. I wish I could just drive out and buy shit. I hate having to wait so long before I get stuff.
Re: General discussion chat which is kind of ironic, since one of the things you're waiting for is a title for a car
Re: General discussion chat I had no problems until it suddenly started going shit and I went fuck it, I want my start menu back, let's go Win7. It's 3 am and I'm sitting in front of my pc posting in this thread and listening to deep purple. Because who needs sleep anyway. - - - Updated - - - If it's a laptop you can't fit a SATA drive in there. You're gonna need a PATA drive.
Re: General discussion chat Yep lol. I hate mailing stuff. Well, this one doesn't have SATA connectors, so obviously I need a PATA. I'll just return this one on Amazon. Don't want to bother with ebay and stuff.
Re: General discussion chat Why are you using a laptop from 2005 anyway? It probably has a NetBurst mobile CPU which is just... Terrible.
Re: General discussion chat IMO, if you're going to go dubstep. http://youtu.be/aPPbFcg38MM Build at 0:32 drop at 0:43. This is something that is kinda odd. http://youtu.be/JwfHoUiUmlY Hardstyle at 0:57. http://youtu.be/3EJAc9SZwgc
Re: General discussion chat It's an old Inspiron 1720. My dad used it until about 6 months ago until the hard drive failed. I got it for free and I'm trying to get it back in working order. I just want a simple laptop to browse the web on. And OBD diagnostics, and this one can do that stuff just fine. It's got an Intel Core2 duo. Not sure it that's the netwhatitsname thing that you mentioned.
Re: General discussion chat Doing some testing with Blender. My first time doing an unwrap with marked seams, first time doing an edge split with marked sharp edges, first render, first materials test. (imported from here)
Re: General discussion chat Interesting. I don't think 3dsmax is quite as handy at this but maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Re: General discussion chat Lego ideas is awesome. They've got dr who, the helicarriers from avenger (at over 6.5ft long!) ghostbusters, less-known Star Wars, star citizen, minecraft, terraria, indie games, Jurassic park, curling, caterhams, corvettes, the disk world from buddism (I think. Sorry if I'm wrong) Daft Punk, the Flying Dutchman, the Hubble space telescope, the meueum from night at the meueum (I hope robin Williams gets a minifigure) a piano, realistic (kinda) birds, ghostbusters, minecraft, back to the future, the curiosity rover, deep sea subs, and thousands of other ones. It's really cool. (did you like that super-long sentence?)
Re: General discussion chat all the motorsport games (at least 4-5 do) have top gear stuff in it The forza car view thingy (I forget the name) has Jeremy Clarkson for the voices of the vehicle description as well as for the opening sequence of fm5 (not sure about 4)
Re: General discussion chat Core 2 duo isn't netburst, it wasn't introduced until 2006 though so totally pre 2005 laptop there But yeah, you need a pata drive. So do i. - - - Updated - - - What an awful mouse. Seriously that's revolting. Its also a terrible mouse at 1600dpi, I have to have at least 3200 and run 5600 at the moment
Re: General discussion chat You have 2cm x 2cm mousepad/table or something? From a low-sense-point-of-view this seems ridiculous
