[QUOTE=ballads;51366080]Exactly and my bestbuy doesnt sell any and I do not want to pay 6.00+ for a vga cable[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=2897[/url] Stop being cheap, homie.
[QUOTE=ikermitkiller;51366085]My CPU has blown so I'm stuck using an AMD Athlon II X2 250 until I get a new one. Is there anything I can [I]actually[/I] play with a system like this? [t]http://i.imgur.com/0P9uxB5.png[/t] Also, does Speccy cap out at 4GB for graphics cards or something? Or does it just not like reading the entire 8GB in the 1080?[/QUOTE] That CPU would be from 2008-ish so any games up until 2012 would be fine as long as they aren't SUPER CPU intensive or require a lot of threads. A lot of games didn't even take full advantage of quad cores up until that point anyway so a dual is fine. Source games would easily run on that as would a lot of indie games. Good thing is that your GPU is way overkill for it so your really only worried about CPU bottlenecks.
[QUOTE=ballads;51366080]Exactly and my bestbuy doesnt sell any and I do not want to pay 6.00+ for a vga cable[/QUOTE] yes they do i find it actually impossible to believe that your best buy does not carry any look harder
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;51366352]yes they do i find it actually impossible to believe that your best buy does not carry any look harder[/QUOTE] Its in the video cable section. At our local best buy, its near the cash registers, right by the Apple and HDD section sort of by customer service/geek squad.
[QUOTE=ballads;51366354]Estimated Total$6.14[/QUOTE] oh man, things cost money to make? and then they cost money to be transported from one location to another? gimme a goddamn break
That's 45720mm for the countries that aren't the US and that third world shit hole somewhere.
[QUOTE=ballads;51366354]Estimated Total$6.14[/QUOTE] Why is 6 dollars your breaking point? Its not exactly hard to come up with 14 cents. I have 14 cents in change just on the floor next to my desk. :v: 6 is a really specific number, that's why I'm asking.
Why does this vodka bottle have centilitres on it? Couldn't just be normal and use millilitres or cubic centimetres like a reasonable country. Doesn't even contain potatoes.
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;51366352]yes they do i find it actually impossible to believe that your best buy does not carry any look harder[/QUOTE] You'd be surprised at what best buy doesn't sell. The only one I can name off the top of my head is my local best buy sells gtx 980s which has 3/5ths of their video ports as full displayports but they sell no displayport cables or displayport adapters. They sell every kind of vga to digital whatever adapter you can think of except displayport to vga. They had minidisplayport to vga but no displayport to vga. I've come out of best buy so many times empty handed it's unbelievable and the only reason I go back is because the next best store around is microcenter and that's an hour away through incredibly busy highways and freeways.
"next best" You mean your best store is an hour away, so best buy is your next best.
I live in the woods so everything is a minimum of one hour away. For example, I'm driving from where I live to Little Rock, Arkansas(2.5 hours) tomorrow to purchase clothing. [editline]13th November 2016[/editline] Plus this is technically the wrong thread to even ask for equipment :v: I made the trading thread for that reason.

[editline]13th November 2016[/editline] Now if I want something from Microcenter at rush hour I just have to drive an hour to go 20 miles to it!
[QUOTE=Levelog;51366568]"next best" You mean your best store is an hour away, so best buy is your next best.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's what I mean. It's insane that the quality between the best electronics store and the next best in the states is so night and day. The only reason best buy is doing so well is because they practically have a store in every county while microcenter is a gold nugget among piles of coal. I'm grateful that it's an hour away, though. If it was closer I'd be broke.
I have an hour drive to work to get sit an office for 13-14 hours per day watching Netfllix. And basically anything I want to do besides going shooting requires at least 30 minutes of driving.
Computer tried playing The Intimidation Game on me again. The system had been oddly stable all week so I decided to play an MP3. This was followed by a random system service shitting itself and the machine giving the "A SYSTEM SERVICE HAS SHUTDOWN. THE COMPUTER WILL REBOOT IN 45 SECONDS" crap. On boot: [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/IMG_6382.jpg[/IMG] Oh, okay I didn't need all my shit right now anwyays. I guess it's time to work on the new PC again. Yeah, I found a replacement bracket that after I installed four standoffs the cooler mounted fine and I gave it an equally tacky Cooler Master fan. [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/IMG_6370.jpg[/IMG] Then I proceeded to start installing hardware and testing to make sure I'm POSTing. I have not yet bought my SSD's yet so the best I can do right now is check for POST and memtest the shit out of it in the hopes something hiccups. It looks like I mishandled one of the 7950GX2's and gouged a cap out. Box won't POST with it installed, so It's removed until the cap is replaced. [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/IMG_6378.jpg[/IMG] Anyways with the machine passing burn-in I see if the XP installer will behave, but I guess that level of intimidation was too much for the old shit box and SUR-FUCKING-PRISE, it decides to boot again. [IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a166/ballsandy/Computer%20related/IMG_6386.jpg[/IMG] I hate computers.
People still use XP?!
OH yeah I forgot he doesn't go by MIPS anymore.
[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;51366697]People still use XP?![/QUOTE] When you want a change from Windows 10 not letting you not update, go to XP where Windows [I]can't[/I] update.

[QUOTE=pentium;51366813]We need AmigaOS back to throw everyone off.[/QUOTE] No we don't.
Because AmigaOS is an inferior operating system.
[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;51366973]Because AmigaOS is an inferior operating system.[/QUOTE] What if he just comes back as AMD Bulldozer or Atari TOS?
[QUOTE=ballads;51366859]Why not[/QUOTE] On a shitpost meter scaled from Firerain to Sandcastle, he can be placed pretty high on it
I forgot about Sandcastle. rip
I don't know any of these people...
[QUOTE=Dr. Deeps;51367137]I don't know any of these people...[/QUOTE] GOOD.
On the topic of places selling video cables, I live under 20 minutes away from Monoprice's main warehouse and will-call center 😎
Nah, Amiga's posts are fine here in H&S
[QUOTE=Levelog;51367466]Nah, Amiga's posts are fine here in H&S[/QUOTE] That's the problem, he doesn't seem to understand no one else outside H&S tolerates his "humor" As a result, most of those posts are perceived as really terrible shitposts especially since they're not even on topic with the main discussion half the time [editline]13th November 2016[/editline] Perfect example of one of his QUALITY posts in LMAO pics arguing about HDD VS SSD: [QUOTE=Amiga OS;47859692] Its a chunk of metal rotating at 7000RPM of course it makes sound, its just usually drowned out by the fans in your computer struggling to stop your Fermi housefire and AMD shitdozer from igniting.
