You guys are in need of some BIG time help. Then again I am one to talk. I was not planning to do anything except upgrade my 3.0c to a 3.4c but then someone was selling an IC7-Max3 board. Then someone was selling some awesome ram.

Before I knew it deals were made on both and it looks likes I am slowly on my way to building another system.

You'll be oK Snafu, I'm sure doggy will let you sleep in his house with him, when your better half finds out ! Look at the bright side, spring around the corner should get warmer soon :deviltail

I'm in dire need of methadone, suffering serious withdrawal syndrome. All parts ordered, just not getting here. Mobo in taiwan, Vapochill in denmark, and I am figgity like heck, not including the shakkkkkkkkeeeesssss.

[Snafu]

The bright side is spring??? Oh man, I have two sleds parked in the garage that I have put less than 100km on and yet forked out $1500 on them so far :best: . The best I can hope for at this point is another foot of snow before spring decides to rear its ugly head.

The Mrs. does not know about the ram (yet). She is usually pretty good about this stuff though. Her biggest complaint are the extra computers I am starting to collect. I have to dissect and store the parts somewhere out of site.

These old computers are part of my master plan

Put them in standup freezer you where mentionning , 3 strikes with one stroke. Hide the computer cases she not want to see in it, obviously you take control of the freezer, hence she's convince you need to get new one before food thaws while laying on the floor.

Voila ! (stores are open Sunday, so act now ! )

I took the risk and asked my wife if i was allowed a new psu ........I can't believe it she said yes so i am going to order a 470watt enermax noisetaker

i accidently downgraded and bought an ASUS P4C800 insted of another ABIT IC7. serious buyers remorse here... yea i ordered another IC7 to make me happy again

the worst part is i had 3 ABIT boards hangin around a few months ago, but i sold them off ~ youll always need something the moment you sell it off

so I went back for the paper I forgot to purchase (story in earlier post, #40 I believe), anyhoo, I think I should place a ban on myself visiting friends at work with discounts - I walked out with an HP centrino 775 notebook for 1000CDN because it was the last one they had on demo and they put the unit out on the shelf about 2 hours before I got there before, I was gonna be hurtin when I got my bank statement, now I'm just not gonna open the envelope

My wife had an episode...we now own a Dyson vacuum cleaner, the DC14 "Animal". She loves our dog and cat, but LOATHS their most plentiful byproduct - fur. Seriously, it's like we have to vacuum twice a week anyway to keep up...

I must admit, it seriously rocks the house hardcore - it is sucking up things from 5 years ago...it better be for the money dammit! That coulda been an MSI mobo and the 2x1gig dual OCZ 32000 I am on the jones for...

I am happy for her - it was her turn to upgrade

**EDIT** I am laughing at the OCZ 32000 typo - someday huh!

Amazing !!! Joe, I just sent a memo to HQ on Thursday about this very item.

We should see it about Q3 2010.

Glad I could help

Well, I was bitten again. I had been planning on getting a Samsung 710N-2 from Newegg.

Yeah, it's supposed to be delivered tomorrow.

[Killer Munkey]

i'm having trouble stopping myself! I gave up buying computer related stuff for Lent but i keep seeing new things and my hand keeps twitching to pull out my debit card

Hopefully i can just hold off till after Easter and then i'll have some cash laying around to maybe fix up my junker a little bit more... new mobo, another 256mb stick of pc133 ram...

I know this is the wrong thread for this, but I don't care! I need help! I suffering from a severe case of overclockaholism, my palms are sweaty, knees are weak, can't sleep. I've just put the bios back to stock settings for this first time in weeks. Just did CPU-Z - it was mocking me with its puny 2200Mhz, then Clockgen started calling to me.'You don't need to restart, just click on me, I'll make all your cares go away', followed by A64tweaker, 'I show you a good time, just a little tweak baby, maybe some CAS1.5 action, or a little tweat of my trwt'.

Voices, voices everywhere!

Oh no, no...no, no. Now 1.8 vcore, thats just being stupid, I'm not going to do it. You can't force me too! No................ Arrrggghhhhh!

I must appologise for my last post, but you see, the drugs don't work, they just make things worse.

They do make it much worse. . . . Look at that, who purchased that new crap.
