[QUOTE=hexpunK;26042213]Then what if he does want to use a USB device? That means downtime to get the USB ports up and running again.[/QUOTE]
Oh c'mon, it doesn't take [I]thaaaat[/I] long to reboot your comp, go to BIOS and enable the ports...

Like I said, it's just an idea
A friend of mine burns money so much. Two weeks ago he bought two GTX480's because he "had money and didn't know what do with it." Last week he sent them back to Newegg after deciding it's too much and too hot. Then he whined about a 15% restocking fee. He just bought a GTS450 and complained how slow it was.
He's done it a lot before.
Edit: He used the money he got back to buy a G3. Seriously, what? He's big into WW2 weapons, but even then they either look pretty or you shoot them on a range.

Because my server was a Pentium II for the longest time.

If he has so much money like you say he has, why doesn't he have an SR-2 rig?? I know I _DEFINITELY_ would :q:
He has loads of money for really short periods. Like 2000 dollars for a week and then all of a sudden it's gone for a few months. it seems he has an unlimited supply of RC cars he tells me he keeps selling for money to buy more parts.
I don't get it.

lol
I wonder what his father does for a living :P
Probably a lawyer.
Or a member of the RIAA. Also known as a special breed of lawyers known as the assholes.
Or a male whore.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;26044184]Or a male whore.[/QUOTE]
That'd explain its particular and temporary loads of money :v:
Loads.
of money.
Dosh.

And I don't think there would be any problem with using it as a monitor. Leaving it on 24/7 might make it overheat, but I don't have experience with LED tvs.[/QUOTE]
"LED TV" is a misnomer, they're just an LCD with LED backlighting. But because of that, it generates less heat than a standard LCD.
My Dad (Who is Tech Literate to a point [age 57]) Just came from a party at his Brothers who is Godly at anything Computerised (He was asked to overview the timings systems for the Commenwelf games) who has his entire house wired up in a stereo system and can select each room to play something else. So he Shows me his 5 monitor rig (holy dick) and says "I don't understand why he has this, its not like you can use 2 monitors at once" I calmly correct him, He insults me and walks off :saddowns:
[QUOTE=Zenpod;26044575]"I don't understand why he has this, its not like you can use 2 monitors at once" I calmly correct him, He insults me and walks off :saddowns:[/QUOTE]
He's probably never used 2 monitors on a computer, and which he's never learned to use 2 monitors well.

He's seen me using my Monitor and TV as a Dual monitor, Shit was cash until the monitor blew

I used to think that LED tvs are small little pixel-sized diodes, ligthing itself up.
But then, I was wrong.
That's OLED I believe.

Speaking of TVs, today I went to a shopping mall with some friends of mine, and got into the [url=www.sonystyle.com]Sony Style[/url] stores...
They had one of those huge-ass LED 3D TVs hooked up to a PS3 with some game that reminded me of Geometry Wars... I tried on the 3D glasses and [B]OMFG[/B]... It looked FUCKING AMAZING!
He thinks he will make money off a Let's Play series.
hehehe
[editline]13th November 2010[/editline]
Bigger yet, he thinks he'll get a partnership for Let's Plays like guaranteed.

I tried the glasses and it gave me a headache. I also laughed at all the people who think the Vaio laptops are state of the art.
I got my money out of the safe, thanks to my awesome mum :)
My dad is pissed at me still, and put a password on the WiFi as a punishment(He set it as pAsSwOrD....)
My grandpa also offered to give me $300 towards my build (I have $900 now out of $1400, not counting the $300... But I have to cut my long hair short or he won't give me a penny, unfortunatley, but I've decided that I'd rather say goodbye to my hair
And sorry for not posting any content
Your grandpa knows how to get shit done

I was just fine after a while, but what worries me the most is that I'm kinda having second thoughts about the whole 3D gimmick... that TV they were showcasing looked pretty fucking good... :/
Oh and yeah, I also laugh at snobs who think VAIO > Any other laptop :v:
Your grandpa is awesome. Also so is your mum. Also you are. Also your dad isn't.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;26038215]Same here. At one point, I had ~10 CD drives. All PATA, all internal, only two were burners. I managed to sell a couple, but at this point pretty much all of my desktops have two CD drives, despite never really using them.[/QUOTE]
You know maybe I should use my old drive as a cup holder.
[img]http://i56.tinypic.com/2qa7bte.png[/img]
and I was OH GOD NO
but then it went better than expected
and your grandpa is right
Wait no that's stupid that is what a desk is for.
