... and I think I just pwned Newegg via combos, discounts and MIRBs. I'll list the original non-sale prices first, and then I'll explain the saving at the end... :wtf:
GFX = (2) x eVGA GTX 560 Ti SuperClocked = $540
CPU = Intel i5-2500K Sandy Bridge Quad-Core = $225
PSU = Thermaltake Black...

I know... a new 775 system *cringe*
I'd undo it all if I could, and just wait, but with newegg's 15% restock fee AND the CPU non-refund policy, I'd end up losing quite a bit of money if I tried to return/resell. I think I'm eating this one.
I know that with a mild OC, this setup would...
Provided I get the brushback from Newegg... I think I can actually salvage the situation by digging deeper into the money pit.
Plan of attack:
1) Buy New MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-G41M-Combo LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX
2) Buy New RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333...
So like a retired pitcher returning to the majors... only to get shelled in the top of the 1st, I just spontaneously bought a CPU that won't work with my mobo. WHY didn't I wait for a reply yesterday?!
$170 Q8400, on a truck somewhere in NJ right now... :annoyed:
I need some serious advice...
I'll have to check for a model number when I get back to the house.
Yeah, there's a switch because there aren't enough ports, and I actually am connected directly into he modem, not the switch; when I try it from the switch, I get no connection, but apparently other people do?

Unfortunately, I really don't know anything about. The guy from Time Warner came on friday, and said "everything was fine" on their end. Well, I'm not so...
So, my internet randomly decides to create new networks, renew IP leases, and reconnect to the network every few minutes... all day long. :dead:
I live in a fraternity, and no one seems to have their stuff straight, so we have internet coming into the house via a modem with 4 ports... and then...
Am I the only one on the planet to catch this?
When Bumble-Bee goes "Everything we've worked for will be lost, in one day!" It's a sound-byte from HL2! It's Doctor Kleiner at the end of EP2... I nearly jumped out of my seat when I heard it.
I think I'm in the clear.
She texted me at a few hours ago and said her laptop wasn't booting, asked if I could take a look. I drove over and got it up and running in just a few minutes. She was soo relieved and like tackled me onto her bed. I thought, "phew, she still feels the same way". I...
So, I met a girl at a party the other night. I wasn't really drinking, but she was. She took a strong liking to me but I didn't read very far into it. It was a highlighter party though so everyone was drawing and writing things on each others' shirts under the black-lights. She leans in and...
haha. I knew you guys would take it that way. You got me all wrong.
It's definitely nothing sexual. It's just weird. I get it when people take my blood pressure, pulse, etc. I feel like an experiment. It's very odd... It's probably a form of anxiety but I'm not actually nervous at all.
