Goodbye

Hai~

Well, as some of you may know, I quit my job a few weeks back. Not going to get into why.

So, with that being said, my dream of getting a MacBook Pro is dead.

So, over the weekend I was browsing NewEgg.ca and gathered some part with the help of Originality, I think I got the computer that I want.
Most of the part I picked myself but he gave me pointers on how to keep the costs low, etc. He recommended that HDD since it was cheaper.
And he picked that brand GPU(I picked the 550).

So, I am kinda excited seeing as this is the first time I'll be building a computer, and also excited that it'll be really powerful and do anything I need flawlessly.

Anyway, here it is in all its glory~

Thoughts, opinions, pointers?
Would be helpful. But I'm more or less set on this setup. I want to keep in before tax and before mail-in rebates under $800.

P.S: Misleading title was misleading. :3

Post in a thread titled "Goodbye". Scared me a second there.[/quote]
why can't he post?
i mean he's not like the tyrannical ruler of gbatemp and he's a person just like us
i don't get posts like ''costello in the eof! quickly hide!'' or something like that
[/quote]
Because if he posts there then in the "Latest posts" section it would say "Goodbye by Costello", and with all the recent staff farewells it wouldn't be unheard of.

And I see that Devin responded before I did, but Densetsu's the only ninja around here.

please read my reply
i saw goodbye by ifish
[/quote]
I said in the latest posts section, in which it says "by" and then the latest poster.
[/quote]
when i came to the front page it was the time when the last post was ifish's op and i forgot to refresh the page so i still saw by ifish but then the last post became costello's so i didin't understand why he said that since i didn't see by costello and since it wans't the op i though he was scared by costello replying to the thread and then i remembered those posts about sotello so yeah
sorry about the misunderstanding

Can you take the conversation to PM? It seems kinda useless to keep posting in this blog...

No offence~
 
Your boss sounded like a dickhead. I'd quit too. I don't understand (actually, I do, but still) why a boss thinks they're the king of the world. Many of them need to get off of their high-horse and realize they don't matter either.

Depends on what you yelled. If you swore eloquently using the finest selection of swear words while wittily insulting him, you're awesome. But if you just yelled and screamed randomly like some brat then...

Nah, I swore at him. And said a lot of things I'd normally not say. So, yes. I swore. A lot.

Sure seems like it. :huh:

I swear iFish I will slap you in your non-existent Mac.

Speaking of depression, I broke my laptop, so it looks like we're both laptop-less.

And if you get a Windows computer, you will have my respect.
 
[quote name='Thesolcity' post='3769795' date='Jul 12 2011, 06:41 AM']Its half a terabyte bigger and 6.0gb/s. Also has double the cache of the Samsung. It'll work just fine. :P[/quote]
A bandwidth of 6Gbit/s (~768MByte/s) is of no importance at all when not even good hard drives can pass a transfer average of 200MByte/s. Hell, most SSDs can't even come close to reaching that bandwidth limit of 6Gbit/s.
 
Anybody that looks at you should be able to tell that you're not accustomed to manual labor. (no offense intended)
So having you shoveling anything for ten hours outdoors would certainly be more than you're ready to handle on the first day.
If that's what needed to be done, I can understand why they would have you there. Not every job can be done sitting down in the air-conditioning.
But the foreman should have been a bit more understanding.
I'd say it was their way of testing you: Seeing what you wee capable of.
And they found your breaking point.

In an odd coincidence, I also recently quit a job.
I was supposed to package and deliver flyers to 173 different houses each week (for two days) and was only being paid $150. I had to start from 7 in the morning all the way until 7 in the evening. If I didn't finish in time, I wouldn't be paid anything. To make it even worse, I had to make 6 trips back home, fill the shopping cart I was using with more newspapers and go back to delivering. Eventually, I got sick of the low pay and long hours so I quit.

Anyways, I'm sure you'll be much more happier with the computer you're building instead of the MacBook Pro. ;P
 
Been gathering for a new PC myself - pissed from consoles, and damn these steam sales lol so enticing

my 8800GT died on saturday, got red and green lines, then poof, no more signal :( - and then i needed a new PSU, and then i was like meh fuck it - ive been working and studying all summer so far non-stop; i can make what im looking to buy - i5, 460GTX, 4GB RAM DDr3 1600mhz, HDD, PSU and Intel Extreme Mobo, some snazy case. Im limited to www.pcandparts.com since they are the only local website/store (and shipping is out of the question for me considering my country)


im sure you can do it ! :D ; try finding another job, im sure its harder since if im not mistaken you are much younger than most working people here - im lucky enough to have a good stable job, boring but meh as long as your getting the money right ? (i work in a library yes i know ...)

Stop it, you're making me jealous. My computer is old, and I need a new one, but it's out of my budget.
