signs you've got the computer bug (got it bad)


I was taking the heatsink off of an old Rivia TNT 2 to put it on my geforce 2mx440 (it's a perfect fit). Well while i was pulling it off i accidently broke a resistor off of the board, no biggy...so i decided to just through it out, i kind of have a tradition when i throw things like that out i like to break it. Well as i was bending it in half i noticed that the GPU was peeling off, and i eventually got it off and said to myself "hmmm i'll keep that, it'll make a nice key chain"

well that is a sign of "oc addiction" but once you get into the later parts of the disease that old card could be fixed and then sold in the classifieds to by something else to tweak.
even worse is keeping the old card for parts scavenging at a later time.
then who knows i think im close to buiding a blanket out of old parts to cover up with at night and sleep with.still working on those sharp edges tho

and when the mods start laughing at you for you obsecivness on ocing its a really bad sign.its happened to me on a couple of occasions.just makes me feel like im being the best oc addict i can be!

jeeze i never throw anything away ive still got the original ms mouse MANUAL

who could belive it would be so hard to use a mouse that it would need a book thick enough to break walnuts!

i have a massive ... collection? of ancient computer bits i can't even identify!!!

although odly i do destroy heatsinks. and atempt to stick them to new stuff. like recyling!

maybe we should form some kinda group of... computer based eco warriors! spreading the news about how important it is to recycle!
