RiskNES III - Apex In Circle

*remembers the time he ultimately paid the tech guys $80 to tell him that the power button that came with the case wasn't wired properly for non-gateway motherboards*

Life lesson of this story: do a little bit of research and build it yourself.

I've never bought an off-the-shelf computer. Buying the parts you want is a lot cheaper, it's not the least bit hard to assemble, and you don't get these kinds of compatibility issues. Plus you get to tell everyone how cool you are for building your own computer, even though all you did was to click a few cards into their proper slots.

@MjM: Ultimately the mod's purpose is to provide the best possible game experience for his players. Everyone's game experience is marred by constantly having to wait for a player who can't send orders on time. You've also admitted yourself that your inability to send orders on time is much due to laziness. If this was not the case in this particular instance, well, cry wolf. By throwing you out, Symph ultimately angered one player and made eight a lot happier. I just can't see the fault in that.

I concur...

Ah, then let me tell you what will happen if you ever try and upgrade on your own, so you're not woefully unprepared as I was:

1.) You'll need a new motherboard because yours won't fit in a standard case.
2.) You'll need a new power supply because yours will fry a standard motherboard.
3.) If you replace your motherboard you'll need a new copy of Windows because yours is keyed in to your motherboard.

Dell's general business model is to produce equipment that requires you to stay their customer in order to upgrade it--which costs lots of money compared to just buying the hardware. Life lesson of this story: do a little bit of research and build it yourself.

Good business model. I just generally reuse my peripherals

Yeah, I lack confidence in my computer-building abilities, though I did a 2-month course on it a few years back.

This is your regularly scheduled 21:00 notice; I have Red, Blue, and Yellow Army orders. Looking more or less usual so far.
