For a Grad I would rather have a MAC...

Fuck PC... I'm Done with this crap!

ChinoCharles · 04-17-2007, 09:49 PM

If your PC dies in three years, it isn't anything it did wrong! C'mon VoIP boy, buck up and close your compy's cornhole! Firewall! Scanner! Traffic monitor! Do it to it!

Man I drink too much caffeine.

But, for nostalgia's sake, here's a pic of my old yellow beast, the BMFC-XL (Bad MotherF******g Computer - XL)

it looks so over the top ridiculous that its actually awesome

eTiMaGo · 05-01-2007, 01:44 AM

oh and if only I had not gotten lazy, and finished it like it was meant to be... a second identical tower attached to it, but filled with evaporative cooling towers for the ultimate watercooling setup...

But I'm old man McLaptop now...

Nutzoids · 05-01-2007, 10:54 AM

Alittle Duct tape, Some glue, Some wires and a touch of TLC (Beating the crap out of the case) and my computer is working... Yeah!

But I am only running on bare essentials... only 1 HD, normal CD-Rom and there are only 2 websites I have allowed access too... Take a guess.

eTiMaGo · 05-01-2007, 11:23 AM

goatse.cx and lemonparty.org?

EDIT: WARNING! NOT WORK, CHILDREN, OR SANITY-SAFE!
