CIPWTTKT&GC v0X12 (v18): Makol can't Computer Very Good - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=TonyTheBean;35142644]Do you recommend that people sign up for the machinima contract? I recently tried to get a partnership with MonstercatGaming but they turned me down. Also, whats your username?[/QUOTE] Machinima is a good start normally, but due to some politics they can be limiting if you don't plan on cross advertising the shit out of their network. Check out TGS or TGN. They pay roughly the same and are also very popular. Total Biscuit is on TGS, same with Yogscast. Machinima is simply more... out. Like out in the public for advertising and licensing. They have Captain Sparklez, Nova, Sark, Seananners, etc.

and [del]brt[/del] crest. You forgot the best part of the machinima family

So, it's been awhile since I've lurked this thread. Are superduperscoot and flak still in love with eachother?

I ordered a dremel from amazon and the DAC. I get paid tomorrow so that will help fill the deficit I just made in my bank.

[QUOTE=K3inMitl3id;35142645]My worst worries are that it could be CPU damage after I had the computer running for an hour after removing and putting back on the heatsink. Or that it's GPU damage from where I improperly took it out and damaged the old mobo. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/43307106/0/log%20in%20screen.PNG[/img][/QUOTE] As I said, it's probably nothing.

Buying one of three SSDs tonight. yay Also, Shadaez, I have failed you. [editline]14th March 2012[/editline] Also I think I broke my glasses. I'm blind now.

In other news, my school is finally upgrading our computers, from pentiums, to core 2 duos vpros................. I wonder when we will get 6 core's here.................

This thermal paste scrubbing is tedious as hell. I think q-tips might suck for the job. Is the metal supposed to be completely clean of paste?

When I broke my glasses, I couldn't see anything 8 inches past my face. My vision is bad.

[QUOTE=K3inMitl3id;35143019]This thermal paste scrubbing is tedious as hell. I think q-tips might suck for the job. Is the metal supposed to be completely clean of paste?[/QUOTE] Yes, but if their is a bit under the clamp don't worry to much.

[QUOTE=Wooops: 404;35142985]Use the force young Makolwalker, become one with the keys.. [/QUOTE] My face is like 3 inches away from my keyboard. That's what I get for not paying attention and getting tackled by my dog.

Well the paste comes off great off the CPU, but the stock cooler is another story. I mean all the gunk is off, but the more embedded layers refuse to come off. I'm gonna see if I can get a decent picture of what I'm talking about. Also, I have no lighter fluid.

I just realized I've never purchased a tube of thermal paste. I really should get some just to have sitting around in case I need to fix someones computer.

[QUOTE=MC3craze;35142402]I love ICS.[/QUOTE] The browser hasn't even crashed once since I updated, compared to a crash every 10 minutes with the Honeycomb browser. ICS is much like a fixed Honeycomb that works on phones and tablets alike. If it's already out for your device and you're still not using it, there is something wrong with you/your device's manufacturer.

Too bad my Transfix probably can't run ICS.

Also speaking of Android, is there anything wrong about me prefering the touchpad than the touchscreen? I just don't like streching my arm to the screen and sliding my slightly wet fingers on the (usually) clean screen, leaving fingerprints all over it. I have the urge to clean it every time a friend uses it because I can't stand fingerprints on my Transformer's screen.

I know I asked before but what's a good brand? I forgot what was recommended last time. Also I found my old pair of glasses, it's always a good thing to keep old glasses as a back up pair.
