You Know You Are A Computer Addict When...

Edward2 · Nov 25, 2002

My wife complains constantly because I have the window open in the office and she gets cold. I'm going to move her computer to a different room during the Christmas holidays.

And I thought I was the only one who checked my email at 3 in the morning.

With 2 monitors in the office, there really is no need for the lights to be turned on.

I almost had a heart attack when some ppl I was doing a job for took the 8gig drive I had just replaced and chucked it in the trash can. Luckily it was full of paper. Its now my backup drive

33. You can't find a comb, and so you use a Pentium 1 chip.
34. Anyone who uses your computer asks why the vacuum cleaner is always on in your house.
35. On your way to the bathroom before going to sleep you decide to check the next post by the guy you were arguing with in the Intel vs AMD or Ati vs Nvidia thread

36. You can easily justify having 3 computers on line in your living room to your wife and secretly want four because your router has four connections.

37. You spend more time in Forums reading and posting messages then you spend talking to your wife.

38. You ask for 512Meg of DDR 3500 for Christmas so you can have the old 256Meg of DDR 3200 for your secret rig (now as soon as the 1700+ "B" TBread comes out your ready!)

Tismedt · Nov 28, 2002

rogerdugans · Nov 28, 2002

Another one to add to the list:

when you burn up a cpu/mobo because your radiator didn't have quite enough antifreeze in it and 2v vcore

And then you start looking for volt mods for the spare motherboard..........

WyrmMaster · Nov 29, 2002

40: When you move all your computers to the basement cuz its colder down there.
41: You move your bed to the basement cuz thats where the computers are.
42: You find your old 386 in the basement, and think of reviving it and learning assembly for the sole purpose of created an ornate alarm clock
43: You destroy a pentium 166 pro that was also in your basement because you want the heatsink on it for your Geforce 4's ram.
44: You wonder why your girlfriend doesn't know what the UDP protocol is.
