There's your answer. You get what you paid for when it comes to electronics.

It worked fine when I got it aaaannnddddddd now it's shit.
would it be a good idea to purchase a 3570k from amazon warehouse deals? It just says minor cosmetic damage so I'm betting it'd just be a bent and dented, but unopened, box

I've got a $90 EnGenius router and it's lasted about 2 years before it started dropped wireless and wired a few times a week
I think I figured out what I have to do just to get input to my little TV, I have another portable TV in the house and the thing that I need is an RF modulator.
I feel stupid for not realising before, I could have done it shortly after getting the Woolworths mini TV. I think I have to get one for the Pi.

Not with routers, you can get good ones that cheap nowadays.

Top that one.[/QUOTE]
Maybe on wednesday I'll have:
4096000 + 2073600 + 2073600 + 2073600
Edit: Planning on buying those two 20"ers.

Also, does anyone know of some Speakers stands that I can clamp to my desk and adjust the height. I want to place the speakers directly over my side monitors when I get them.
there are never enough terabytes

Couldn't you just have your main monitor on the bottom and have the other 3 on top?
I wasn't ordering them like I'd organize them. The idea is I have my main monitor in the middle, two 1080p's on the sides, and then my TV on the wall.
The problem is the speakers. Either I'd have the speakers laying sideways tilted up to me and the monitors above, or I'd have the speakers ontop of the monitors kind of peaking over.

Personally, I prefer Lipton Ice Tea.
I guess it's content, though it sounds like he's simply applying the wrong name to it.

Ohhh right you have a TV. Forgot about that. Well, you could always do something like [url=http://i.imgur.com/syXBNAI.jpg]this[/url], just without the TV in that position.
My desk doesn't back up against the wall, so I need some sort of desk mounted version.

Jeez, as much as I love Anandtech's reporting, their comment sections and apparently their forums are full of the biggest, least-informed dumbass fanboys I've ever seen.

I adblocked their comments section. Best thing I could have done.
most ~tech sites~ are full of retards who want to say that they are on ___ tech site so they must be smart
Man, you guys are gonna love this.
My computer recently started hard-freezing and the screen would fill up with coloured lines. My video card is an 8800 GTS 512 from like seven years ago, so naturally I thought it was busted. I really don't have any money to buy a new one right now, so I desperately researched and tried every possible method to revive it. I pulled off the heatsink/fan, washed the board with soap and water, baked the board in my oven, and then re-applied thermal paste. Now, I put the graphics card back in, and guess what... the screen came on! But the computer wouldn't boot. My BIOS showed the hard drive name as "BZBZBZBZBZBZBZBZ". Huh. So, it turns out that the clip on my SATA cable had broken off and the cable was loose. And that was probably the cause of the original problem.
I washed and baked my video card for possibly no reason.
And yet it still works.
Did 5 minutes in FurMark with no artifacts.

Just remember that baking a GPU is a bandaid, not surgery
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;44539670]Just remember that baking a GPU is a bandaid, not surgery[/QUOTE]
I doubt that it did anything at all. I only baked it at like 175F for 10 minutes.

When they flow the solder at the factory I'm pretty sure they do it at like 400F

I didn't know Aphex Twin had DVDs
I made two mockups of my future monitor layout with the speakers. I think the speakers on the bottom monitors on the top is probably my best bet. Speakers ontop is better, soundwise.

Posted this in WAYWO, might as well stick it here for those that are interested.
[QUOTE=benjgvps;44540219]Our sump pump took a crap recently so we went out and bought a cheap submersible utility pump, threw it into the sump and ran a garden house outside the basement window. The problem is that we have to keep an eye on it because if it runs dry, the pump can be damaged.
Since my computer is in the basement, 10 feet away from it, guess who's always checking it?
I'm a lazy fuck, so I built the most over-engineered solution with the stuff I had laying around.
I have a couple wires about an inch apart dangling in the sump, hooked up to an Arduino running some simple code that checks if theres a bit of voltage between the two wires. If there is, that means the water level is up to that point. The code then flips on a solid state relay leftover from an old project with an old CPU cooler ziptied onto the back (apparently those relays need to be kept cool) and when the voltage between the two wires goes away, it keeps the pump running for another ten minutes so the water level has a chance to drop a bit so the pump won't constantly be turning off and off.
