CIPWTTKT&GC v0x14 (v20): Turning it off and on all day every day - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=Brt5470;36828246]I considered getting more. I got the zombie DLC. Suggest some others. I plan on doing some videos of it.[/QUOTE] How do you even afford it??

Brt has just as many money as pixels on his monitor.

I wish I had that many money. In other news I just bought one of them Mohu antennas. More on this later.

I was going to buy some games but I'm losing my job next Friday :( I'm going to miss having money.

[QUOTE=Leestons;36829265]I was going to buy some games but I'm losing my job next Friday :( I'm going to miss having money.[/QUOTE] Please elaborate.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;36829350']Please elaborate.[/QUOTE] I'm being made redundant, I will still have to pay lodge money, so instead of spending money on games, i'll be saving it.

[QUOTE=Leestons;36829020]How do you even afford it??[/QUOTE] What makes people think I bought $1000 of DLC? I bought like 15 bucks worth.

anyway, im tired. goodnight sipwicket. [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] merge broken...

Local news site put together a pretty nice PC: i7 3770k, 64GB RAM, mobo was a Intel DZ77GA-70K, processor cooler that weighs about 1,5kg and is made of pure aluminium, 1300W Cooler Master PSU, 2xGTX 690 in SLI, Kingston 480GB SSD, Cooler Master Cosmos II case, ASUS VG278 as a monitor (and NVIDIA 3D glass kit). Costs "only" about $5000. oh, and they are giving it away. Wish me luck.

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;36827864'] This is 2012, not 2007, 775 is dead.[/QUOTE] woah bro that hurts ;n;

Oh, and did I mention the MONSTER, as the news site calls it, weighs 23,7 kg.

Would be really nice for simulations, with all that RAM.

[QUOTE=paul simon;36830997]Would be really nice for simulations, with all that RAM.[/QUOTE] Just don't run Windows on it. With the home versions you can only access 16GB. I dunno if even Ultimate would let you use all 64.

[QUOTE=latin_geek;36830916]woah bro that hurts ;n;[/QUOTE] I have an AM2+ and 775 tower sitting next to me, it's painful, but true. :C

Eugh, I hate meetings. Especially four-hour marathon meetings. Bright side #1: I have no content to report from it Bright side #2: Company dinner: barbecue and ribs Bright side #3: Turns out my laptop battery can last nearly four hours (minimum brightness, power saving mode, keyboard backlights off, no programs but Chrome, Komodo and PuTTY open) Funny side: My laptop's power brick weighs more than a MacBook Air. I tested it.

You guys know that Intel is going to keep socket 2011 until 2014-15 right?

hello I recently got a second monitor so I'm doing a dual monitor thing now as an extended desktop, two questions: 1. is it possible to choose which monitor to launch fullscreen applications such as games on? at the moment it's always on the primary 2. when I have a game running on one side is there a way to free my mouse/keyboard from the game to use things on the other screen without having to alt+tab?

HP 6730s HP 6820s Thinkpad T61 EEE 1005HA I dunno.

I don't think so.

[QUOTE=Strikebango;36831735]You guys know that Intel is going to keep socket 2011 until 2014-15 right?[/QUOTE] No. They're keeping A socket with 2011 pins, but it's not the current 2011 we know.

What I should have done was disable Bluetooth, because that always seems to suck way more power than necessary. On my phone, disabling BT makes it go about 50% longer. On my last laptop, it also improved it about 10%. It probably helps at least as much as disabling my keyboard light. I don't know why I would ever want it on, actually. I have never used it. NEVER.

Also, it's annoyingly hard to find a dual-socket LGA 2011 board that's not more than the CPU's I was looking at.

Imagine having a £25000 budget to built the most beastly PC around. IMAGINE THE VIRTUALISATION POSSIBILITIES!!1

NEVER.[/QUOTE] Back when I was still rocking a netbook (ASUS EEEPC 1005HA), I tethered my phone to the netbook to get online, and the phone's battery could actually last through a day of doing that. Since the laptop was pretty much shit and you're always looking to cut down on extra programs to maintain a usable user experience, I pretty much lived in the cloud for a year or so. Used Google Docs to write everything up (which was convenient since I pretty much formatted the damn thing and installed another OS every 1-6 weeks), and I used the offline thing they had back then if I didn't have connectivity for some reason. I kind of wanted to have an integrated 3G modem in my next laptop for the same reasons, but hey, low budget requires sacrifices and all I pretty much needed was battery life.

[QUOTE=Brt5470;36832126]Imagine all the asshole from facepunch telling you not to spend it.[/QUOTE] Buy a car.

So I just did a google translation for that much money. Excuse me while I spend like at max 5 grand on the PC and then, from the remaining money, $34k on a truck.
