Want to see what a £5000 super computer looks like ...

[badger]

I was even called a liar by badger when I moaned that I was recovering from hepatic cancer!

no you weren't... as usual you're twisting things to get sympathy

have to agree that people are being a bit unfair about this. yeah it was a bit of a twattish thing to make the post in the first place but he's not been arrogant since and seems to be genuinely trying to help answer people's questions about what he does. most of the moaners don't seem to even have read most of what he's posted before jumping in with stupid claims like that it's a pyramid scheme

[firky]

I don't want your sympathy, you're a dick and a thick one at that!

Being told by a consultant surgeon that I should never drink again.

Either you have been chatting breeze mate, or you are an idiot!

what were you celebrating, your impending, alcohol induced death?

Either you have been chatting breeze mate, or you are an idiot!

firky? never

Yes, I lied about having liver cancer, badger. That's right, this letter first about the lesions is also a lie, I got the consultant proffessor to lie for me. Fucking crass idiot. I know you're not very intelligent, you have a track record of demonstrating that but I always thought you were more intelligent than this, sadly not.

Professor MF Bassendine is a fucking cool name. Sorry to hear about the cancer though.

[stappard]

i hate this forum

[badger]

how that's proof of me accusing you of lying about cancer i've got no idea

the fact that you posted that letter however is pretty fucking odd

[JBoy]

You'd think on a forum where everyone supposedly shares a love for one thing would make people more friendly. To me it seems like everyone is only interested in boosting their own ego and when they dont like something or disagree they go off on a tangent and get all defensive. @ Firky im sorry that youve got/had cancer but i dont see the need to tell everyone about it on an internet forum, seems a bit strange and posting that letter is something that id never do incase people thought i was after sympathy. All incoming welcome, im growing tired of having to justify myself to argumentitive teenagers that like to feel big sat behing their computers.

[apmje]

boosting their own ego

Yup.

we need lots of pictures and a back story of a possibly questionable income that paid it before we can properly start flaming you

+1 On the sandy bridge front. i5 2500k unlocked models are about £150 now, which with stock cooling will OC to about 4.2-5mhz. P.S: If you game, don't be fooled into spending the extra £100 for the i7 model, check the benchmarks, definitely not worth it.

Of course overclocking an unlocked i-processor means buying a p67 motherboard (at minimum) which is £100. But its worth it!.

i woulda got sandybridge 3.2ghz cpu BUT it pushed me over budget by 40 notes

i woulda got sandybridge 3.2ghz cpu BUT it pushed me over budget by 40 notes

Keep an eye on http://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly/index.aspx the offers change every weekday and its not uncommon to see bundle offers of CPU + Memory or CPU + Mobo go for £30-40 under the standard price.

Ah nice whan, i'll keep my eyes on that for future reference, but this was an insurance build after I trashed my old desktop, so not loads of flexibility.

Ohmagawd... *Drools over motherboard* "FUCK!!"

[collige]

£5000 is like what, $8,000? Who the fuck pays $8,000 for a gaming pc? You could build a tower that could easily handle any game on the market at max settings for half that price.

Supercomputers live in air conditioned datacentres and are run by billion dollar corps or tech developers... yours is a relatively fancy PC, it's not a fucking supercomputer you massive bellend.

This thread is like saying you've got an F1 car because you put a £3k bodykit on a Nova.

perhaps he is saying it is a super [duper] computer...

[Genevieve]

Or that it's just a really powerful pc? >.>

I don't see the the necessity for the hate.

If you feel like he's bragging about his computer, leave the thread.

If you think he's lying about his income, don't take him seriously?

If you think he's trying to spam the forum with links, don't respond to the thread so the links get fewer hits?
