im gonna order again and im gonna get my dual 12" uv cold cathode kit, whenever it gets in stock, 2 92mm fans which push 55 cfm (only 99 cents each), maybe some thumb screws, and then ill get a free ram heatspreader, i can also get 2 ide/or flopy cables since there free, i guess i might as well since its free hehehe

im so happy!!!

man this sucks though, the package arrived and my dad wasnt home at the time, and he got home right after me and i got to the package first, so he didnt know, then i emptied it all on the floor and i knew my dad would come so i was like crap whyd i do this (the whole box was mostly packing peanuts) so ya he caught me, i was so stupid, i had a vision that id get caught too lol

im gonna soon order my lcd too!!!

[OLMI]

What dB do the fans that you got supposedly run at? Also, why would it matter if your dad saw your package?

[Contra]

did you use daddys credit card again? lol

[Bboy_Jon]

lol db is 41.7

it doesnt mater, i used my money, my dad just hates when i buy stuff that i dont need, so thats why i dont like him finding out, but i used my sisters debt card, but i put my money in her account since im not old enough to get one

[OLMI]

Aww, that's too bad. Just ask him the question:

"What do we really need?"

[Bboy_Jon]

hes a hypocrite cuz hes always saying why do u always buy stuff u dont need? and hes always buying amplifiers and speakers and dj equipment (he tries to be a dj lol) our whole basement is filled with speakers (12 subs and all that) and we have like 20 amplifiers (that work) and probly 15 more that dont or something

so ya, hmmmmmmmmmm

[OLMI]

Haha.. ya.. it's just your hobby... you don't ever really NEED anything besides food or water or something if you're going to start talking about necessities heh. To me, what he's saying is that you don't need happiness, hehe.

Good luck with your new gear! ;)

[Daewood]

man i know how you feel, before i turned 18 my dad would freak out if i tried to buy anything and know if he says something i just say "well to bad i am buying it anyways..." but cool i love when stuff arrives in the mail...

[Bboy_Jon]

yup yup, its a good thing my sister has a debt card otherwise id have to ask my dad if i could use his card, and we all know what hed say

but ya im gonna keep buying, im gona go buy my dual cold cathode kit, lcd, 2 92 mm fans, get a free ram heatspreader, then buy my fortron 530w psu and ill be done for a while, after i get more money (hopfully ill get my mcdonalds job cuz im gonna quit my stupid paper route) il go buy ram and necesities

[Daewood]

good luck and keep on modding

[Celeron_Phreak]

Getting new things in the mail is FUN. Especially when it's a new video card ;)

Good luck on your McDonald's job. If you work hard, they'll see it (if you have goot managers), and you'll get promotions. After about 5 or 6 months of work at McD's I was promoted to Crew Trainer. Just yesterday they were begging me to accept the position of floor supervisor (manager), cause I work so hard as it is. Working hard = good raise. Maximum crew raise here in 30 cents, maximum trainter raise here is 40 cents, and maximum manager raise is 50 or 60 cents (can't remember for sure).

A good income will really be great for modding and getting new comp parts though :)

[CandymanCan]

Or you can just sell Yugioh cards like i do lol i collect them and play the game i know it may seem kiddy to you guys but its actually fun. I can get any card iwant in traids and some of the expensive $50-60 cards iv had like 5-10 of them, i sold all my cards cept a few and thats how i have the system in my sig, and yes i already got all the cards back. I made $1200 fro mthe cards in 2 months, lately iv been just reparing and hooking up people's Pc's and easy way to get $25-100 in a few hours

[subtotal]

lol, i feel sorry for you. my dad fully supports me upgrading my computer, he even gave me $500(NZ) for my bday... although it was my 21st and i think the long list of computer parts i gave him might have had something to do with it...

[Bboy_Jon]

lol 21 and u still get money for ure bday? thats awsome, i hope i get money, the most money ive gotten from my parents was probly 25 bucks lol

but my rig right now was my bday and xmas present

[Xenocide]

a computer for a present? ****

the most my parents have ever given me was $10....and no real presents like that, i have to pay for everything myself

[subtotal]

well he does bug me every time he forgets how to right click, or an error message come up except he doesnt tell me which program is giving the message and when i ask he just tell me "the computer says..." so yeah, he kind of owes me for that...

[PLOBBY]

Yea same wuth my dad, he hates buying new things "i dont need" :)...so i have a friend that gets everything for me which is nice and then i just pay him....dad hasnt found out about the stuff he has gotten me so far so its good :)

[Bboy_Jon]

ya, i could ask my friend but umm ya too much of a hassle

OK well right now im using my sisters card, but whenver i ask if i could order some more stuff, shes always like no, tomorow, then we dont do it, then im like can i order now, shes like no im tired wtf!! Plus im always getting into fights with her and all that, so what can i do so i dont need her card?

Where do i get prepaid cards? how old do i need to be to get a card that i can buy stuff with?

[Bboy_Jon]

[Bboy_Jon]

[Knivez]

Have some fun with the Vantec Sleeving. It really is bad, I just experienced that for my self. Don't expecet to be using the heatshrink, invest in some electrical tape.

[Bboy_Jon]

i have electrical tape, ya that heatshrink doesnt shrink at all

i was using a really really hot hair dryer and i left it right on the heatsrhink for like 30 min and it still doesnt completly go around tightly. Even put a flame under it lol

the sleeving frays really easily (course i didnt remove any connectors lol)

[DerekDRP]

bboy your worse then a woman at nemusmarcus and a credit card lol lol lol

[-Superman]

i used that sleeving kit and took the molex connectors off, tape the metal pegs down to the wires and slid the sleeving right over top, used that heatshrink and a lighter, came out rather nice.

[Bboy_Jon]

ya i didnt do any molex connected stuff (fans, psu) probly do that today, i just did the front audio connectors and my firewire connector
