Quite Rude

PC Bits

Blogged on Wednesday 19^th January 2005 at 7:41:58 PM by David

OK, so the first wave of PC bits has arrived! I got the ATA cables, graphics card and the sound card.

The sound card is of the awesomest calibur, Audigy 2 ZS 24bit 7.1 surround sound (even though I only have 5.1 speakers, it does leave room for a future upgrade), perhaps best of all though, the connectors on the back of the sound card are gold plated! That's good because:
a) it's fucking gold!
b) less hiss as gold is a better conductor than the random crap they usually use. Silver is actually a better conductor than gold, but gold looks better.

I took out my existing graphics and sound card and swopped in the new ones to make sure that they were working. There were some problems with the installation of the sound card because the driver disk was being fucking retarded, but I got all that straightened out sharpish.
The graphics card, which for those of you who don't know, is a GeForce 4800 Titanium second edition and was made by Chaintech, not my first choice of mnufacturer I must admit, but hey, it's a GeForce, how bad could it be? (all you ATi supportors can go sit on a melon at this point)

I've not tested the ATA cables yet, this is primarly because I can't be bothered, there are 9 fucking cables, I ain't gonna test all those bad boys, no way no how.

Anyway, I've decided to add another column to the table that shows which components I've received out of the ones I've ordered. TTFN.

   I can think of a place you can put those cables to test them rather quickly... STOP BRAGGING AND GIMME MY MAC MINI, BITCH! YOU HAVE IT, I KNOW YOU DO!

   Are you implying that I test the cables by shoving them up my arse?

   Btw, you have to actually BUY a mini-mac before I can steal it.

   Perhaps.

   You didn't not fail to buy my Mac Mini, but you had the money to do so, and thus it was unbought by you, and I could not purchase for it would cause me to forgo the inevitable conclusion.

    According to the book it's a monopoly, so it's legal. I guess he's gay.

    You think I'm gay? Well, it's a tad insulting, but it explains quite a bit...
