Solved Building a new computer, help/info needed!

[kbrady1979]

This is being blown out of proportion now.........nobody is asking for a hanging on the courthouse lawn. We all said he was right, and it was a difference of opinions. Simple as that.

My system:

Intel i3-2105
Asrock H61M-DGS
2x4gig Corsair Vegeance dual set
1TB Seagate Constellation
Asus DVD-RW

Using onboard sound and in-chip graphics. I guess that's not much demand on the PSU. I have no idea how to compute the wattage.

Wrenches, you're totally A-OK. Enjoy your system. And please note that since companies moved their factories to China even the most "reputable" of manufacturers turn a batch of junk every now and then.

Don't get me started on China. I lived there - and have no desire to return. I don't like melamine in my milk or mercury in my skin-care products. :sarc:

I think I figured out what my problem is.

I talked to my good internet friend incurablegeek via e-mail and he said it would be wise for me to tell you all what I told him. In a nutshell, I've been dealing with some health issues for several months now, and it's been harder these last couple of months than ever before. There are also things in my life that are falling apart just the same as my health is (including material things that I own). It just feels like my entire world is either caving in on me, or simply falling apart. So, I'm usually very irritable and depressed these days. I've finally become one of those people who tend to say "I hate everything". I thought that would never happen to me because I remember a time when I didn't understand that statement. I would be like, "What's the big deal?" Yeah, well now I know.

I didn't really figure this out until yesterday. I think that up until then I've been trying to fool myself into believing that I'm fine or something. I guess that's "denial". Either that, or I just hadn't really had any kind of a wake-up call. I'm still not sure, but the point is that I think I'm aware of something that I wasn't aware of before.

Anyway, I'm not saying that I agree with anyone who said that I am wrong. I'll fight that to the death because I know I'm right (I already posted the proof several times). However, I don't want to get into that again. I'm only here to say that I think this may be why I haven't been easy to deal with. So here's really why I'm posting: I sincerely apologize to everyone for probably ruining what was otherwise a beautiful day (I'm not talking about the weather either).

I'm feeling better already. Thank you, Dennis.

Thanks Tim, this won't help, but I think I have been where your are, having gone through 2 divorces and losing it all twice. My health is meh, but nothing serious, mostly being bald and fat.
Anyway, I apologize again for being too rough on you and we welcome you input. Be aware that I may still not agree with you. :devil2:

I don't mind having people disagree with my opinions. That's fine and I expect that. However, I wasn't posting opinions; just facts.

Welcome back Twocables. Sorry to hear about your health, but I can identify with that. I'm just glad you are here and hope you stay for a while. No apology is nessary as far as I'm concerned and I seriously don't think one is necessary for anyone else. I hope everything improves for you. welcome back.

 

[TwoCables]

Thank you, essenbe!

The only reason why I wanted to quit is that I felt I probably ruined my reputation beyond repair. Fortunately, something happened that caused me to explain my situation to Dennis and he wisely advised me to talk about it here. I'm already feeling better, and I think he knew I would be.

 

[kbrady1979]

You backed up your statements with facts and you clearly have a good grasp on things........disagreements and misunderstandings happen. Reputation is as good as anybody elses on here......we all have crappy days.

Glad to hear you are feeling better.

 

[essenbe]

As far as I'm concerned, you haven't even damaged your reputation much less ruined it. I have disagreed with a lot of people here who I consider friends. At some point we just had to agree to disagree. But, we're still friends and we still respect each other's opinion. Besides, I think most of us have said you were probably technically correct, an I think you were. But, you have to understand OCD people like me. If I decide I want to do something, I'll do it, whether it is right or not. Right Gary.

Always, even to my detriment, then I call ya.

Wow!

What a Classy Bunch of Guys!
​

I'm proud to know all of you.

 

[TwoCables]

Me too!

 

[Wrenches]

Glad you're staying TC and don't sweat it. I'm not going to talk about my life but it ain't no bed of roses. This forum as most other forums I frequent is my escape from the crappy world we live in.

I'm proud to know all of you.

Awesome, since I mistakenly called you a Kentucky hillbily.
Thanks Dennis.

 

[incurablegeek]

Awesome, since I mistakenly called you a Kentucky hillbily.

Your apology is Too Little Too Late.

I want everyone to know that I have hurt feelings. And so does Cousin Dad.

We want all to know that we are Proud Tennessee Hillbillies. (d)

I really hope that mistake will not be made again!

Now seeing zI am from just about everywhere what the heck is a hillbilly? or a redneck for that matter if it means what I think it alludes to then I am an English "hillbilly" or yokels as we used to referred to

 

[TwoCables]

According to Jeff Foxworthy, a redneck is someone with a complete lack of sophistication.

For example, do you remember the show called Cheers? Do you remember the waitress named Carla? She's a complete redneck because she has no sophistication whatsoever. So you don't have to have to live a southern state to be a redneck.

In other words, almost everyone's a redneck to some degree.

I don't know how to define Hillbilly though. I'll leave that one up to Dennis. hehe

 

[Wishmaster]

My view of a hillbilly has always been:
The typical Hillbilly lives out away from modern society, in the country or the hills. They have no use for fancy gadgets and technology.
They hunt and/or grow thier own food and supply for themselves off the land without the need for modern technologies.
Not even sure they go by the "law" as many do. No hunting laws etc .. they just govern themselves.


Many may may see them as backwards, un-educated etc. and make fun of them.
But are they really?

think about it. If something really bad were to happen ... lets say a HUGE EMP burst etc that wiped out all technology as we know it for example....
It would cripple our society. People would starve because the stores would close down. Riots,raids etc ...

My bet is the typical Hillbilly wouldn't notice,be affected by it, nor care. Even though it would be crippling to the "modern" world. They already know how to survive without technology and feed themselves.
A seeminly simple task that sadly, very few today know how to do.


Thats how I always seen them
