  1. His mom just asked how much the transaction was what and wanted to know what amp I was expecting. She would get back to me. And he stated he was going refund money I can keep the amp.

    in that case can i have the amp? :D

    Not sure what I am gonna with it yet since it is cosmetically challenged. 2 of the speaker terminals don't tighten to hold the speaker wires in place. The thermal and the protect Led's are broken. Thats what was rattling inside the amp when it arrived.

    So he sent you the wrong amp AND it's beat to shit? WTF did he seriously think he was going to get away with this?

  2. Tons of ways to go with this. Couple simple questions to help narrow the search.

    Would you want a full tower case with plenty of room and cooling for multiple graphics cards or a small/medium case that takes up less space?

    Would you prefer a silent case or is a little noise not an issue?

    Want something a little flashy (LED's, window, etc.) or simpler, cleaner case?

    A water cooling system is really only needed if you have the money to spend and are either seriously overclocking hardware or are looking for a truly silent machine. If it's just going to be an everyday machine with some light gaming, the $150+ you'll spend on watercooling gear is much better spent on other higher quality components.

    With that said, the all-in-one CPU watercoolers by Corsair and Antec are a great solution for cooling your CPU and start at around $60.

  3. I've just been running Microsoft Security Essentials as my 24/7 antivirus and I've got Malwarebytes running a full scan once a week and I don't get anything on here. I've set it up the same way on all my family's machines and nothing touches us. And then I've got friends who refuse to get rid of their Norton because it works for them. Realistically there's 10+ antivirus softwares people can run that will keep 99% of shit off their machine. If people get viruses it's generally when they don't have A/V running at all or even installed.

    With that said, I'm always torn between recovering a machine or nuking and reinstalling when a virus shows up. If it's more than a scan, delete, wipe temp files, and reboot I just back up and nuke the thing. I'm not burrowing through the registry looking for trace files. It'll be much less work for me and they'll get a brand new machine out of it. Especially since I never wind up doing this stuff for money.

  4. I feel like all this would take is a Facebook message to mom and sending her copies of emails and letting her know what happened in this situation and that you want all your money back. She'll either have it handled or blow you off. If she blows you off simply inform her that if this situation isn't handled and you don't get your money back then she and her thieving son will wind up in court for fraud.

  5. I'd like if you could just buy the desk. Then again, I still wouldn't like it because I'm pulling my machine apart every other week tweaking and changing shit and it'd be a nightmare with a build like that. Plus contrast on the screens would be fucked up from the glare of the lights under the glass surface of the desk.

    Some people are about form over function. I prefer a nice balance of both. I'm even sick of my full-size tower and plan on building a second LANbox out of spare parts so I don't have to haul this thing around to LAN parties. Can't LAN it up with that monstrosity of a PC.

  6. maybe you should update your antiquated graphics card too? even my crap ass work laptops are higher resolution than that.

    i doubt my card is outdated, i think its an amd vision with dvi and vga ouputs, the limiting factor is the monitor, it restricts what resolutions can be used, when i hooked yp the computer to my dads 50" flatscreen it gave me more resolution options

    Yeah, the monitor is going to limit what resolutions you can use. Really, anything less than 1280 wide is likely to have compatibility issues with lots of sites. Most webpages use 1024 as a standard width. Webpages looking to maintain compatibility with lower-resolution screens use a fixed width anywhere from 970-990 pixels wide. This gives the best compatibility with 1024x768 screens by letting you maximize width while maintaining enough space on the sides for a scroll bar and such. This is why some pages have lots of dead space on either side when viewed full screen on a higher-resolution screen.
