Am I officially a geek now? |
|
I just finished getting my new computer up and running. I built it myself. That means I bought a case, and installed everything that normally goes into a computer, from mobo to sound card. The kicker is that my old P4 2 gig processor now resides under a huge heat sink and a rather loud, but powerful fan. It's been given a 25% increase in speed, and is now an unofficial 2.5 gig processor. (it was rather unstable at 2.6) I've thrown some real work its way, and so far, it hasn't crashed on me. We'll see just how stable it is in the next few days I guess.
I'm not looking to be 1337, but to just be able to wear cool geek tshirts without feeling like a poser, heh.

4. If it was an AMD processor, then you'd be a geek! |
|
Take that from me, a guy who owns a bunch of working PCs, half of them using AMD. :D

14. Does your heatsink sound like a jet engine? |
|
Is your case cover transparent so you can see the components inside?
Does your sound card have tubes that glow?
Does your video card have blue and green LEDs?
Do you have a IEEE 1394 port? Do you know what an IEEE 1394 port is?
If you answered "no" to ANY of these questions, there's still hope for you.
