Rate Yourself

[abu_has_the_power]

How good r u in computer hardware?
out of 10 i guess, 10 being the best.

rubric:
1. wat's a computer?
2. a computer is a box
3. i can find the power button and use windows
4. i don't faint when i open the case
5. i somewhat know where the wires go. I can change a cd rom drive or a hdd or something simple
6. ooh, bios....(basic ocing, basic plugging in wires)
7. getting my comp running pretty well. built the comp, and it's oced moderately
8. got myself some watercooling. it's all good. i'm a hip rich spoiled kid ( :rolleyes: :D ) whos has too much money and time. i can make a computer work easily.
9. the power of peltiers and other exotic gadgets. oooooohhhh. i don't even need a case to build a computer. oohhh....
10. i am the god of computers!! i can build a computer out of a teddy bear, a shoe box, a fish tank, and some other weird stuff. ooooohhhh.....

if this doesn't look fair, point that out

i'd give myself a 7 to 7.5 :01: :01: :01: . i know more than the common man, but i'm no where near total guru/geek/nerd. rate urself here. this could get interesting. lol

[pc-gamer-dude]

im gonna rate myself around a 8. much better then average man, but not quite super geek/computer nerd.

Good for you abu. How did you get all of the cash to buy your new toys?

[Evil Gemini]

Id say around 8 ish.

[Samurai]

7.5

[j4y3m]

5 I've installed a CD-RW in my old computer and that's it.

[WhiteAngel]

I don't know, I have much to learn, but guess I can hold my own on computer hardware. I pieced this baby together and can solve problems better than the tech guys at the place I got it from.. so I guess I'd give myself a 7. I know the "Advanced Intermediates" you could say. LOL (Basic overclocking, Installing hardware, Resolving hardware conflicts)
I think of myself more of a software guy, but I'd like to learn more about hardware.

-Steven

[Smurfette]

I'd say 8 or 9.

[Lamsey]

6.

The key to knowledge is knowing how much you don't know.

ive had it together for a little while (almost a month). im suprised you didnt notice.

[Dray_04]

ill give myself a 5.

im not the best. i know how to build a computer, im way better than the average man. but im no where near as good as you guyz.

ive learnt heaps since joining this forum a couple of months ago :)

whenever i need :helpsmile: i just post a question and i get a good answer within a few minutes/hours B)

[bigdawgfoxx]

8 I guess...although this is a kinda dumb topic lol.

[SciManAl]

kinda hard to rate one self... accuratly... hmm.... no rubric or anything, but i guess somewhere between 5-7 no clue though...

I&#39;ll go for 8 too then mate :P

[Virtualbody1234]

What&#39;s the point of rating ones self? :blink:

How acurate can that be? :lol:

[tesco]

7.5 or 8....

[j4y3m]

11 B)

[Jay]

5, just an average man

just felt bored. i&#39;ll post a rubric

[TARPD]

6 or 7

im not satisfied but i dont know if its something i&#39;m doing wrong which takes me down to about err 2

[Mad Cat]

I&#39;d say about everone here is a 0 to a 1. Does anybody know how to make any of the parts in a computer? Hence you know next to nothing about a PC.

So you would rate your knowelege of cars as 9 because you can fit a new tyre...

Me = 0.01

So a car mechanic also knows next to nothing about cars, as he would most likley not know how to make the parts.

Think of every single piece of knoweledge in the world. People here are saying they know 90% of that knoweledge, when its obvious they don&#39;t.

[BiG_aL]

8 outta ten

[TARPD]

i built my own pc. tried to overclock it but doesnt seem to anything. therefore 6-7


saying that, i bet the first person to make a computer was one smart fecker, they must have had more than a good idea. imagine managing all those switches with no pc to work it out for you :o

um...wtf...noone ask us to build our own graphics cards, nor do we need to..we just know how to troubleshoot and build them and tweek...knowning how to build our own parts is kinda stupid...we dont know next to nothing

[bigdawgfoxx]

ABU, you didnt know you were supposed to reinstall windows when u put new parts in...I dont think that would make you a 7.5. I would give myself a 6.5 or 7.

So you are rating yourself on building PCs. Riight. Seriously, 90% of people could probably do that w/ the right tools and a guide.

Think about it. Everyone here has to ask questions about nearly everything, yet they rate themselves a 8 or 9 even.

Considering all the computing knoweledge known by everyone in the world, you know a miniscule fraction of that.
Rating yourself an 8 or 9 (like some have) is a near perfect score, and that would be suited to a person that could at least design a processor... not some mediocre guy that can build a PC.

I&#39;m not flaming either, just looking at facts.

[adamp2p]

I am okay I guess. ;)

[Dark Ride]

11 outa 10 :rolleyes: ... pure arogance :P

[tesco]

in madcats view i would be 0.7.

i know a lot about building them and stuff like that and quite a bit but i have no idea how to like build a processor or video card and that kinda stuff. I know how to wire things up, i can put together the computer and i can install an os and tweak&#092;config it. so i do know a lot, probably about everything im ever going to know. unless knew types of software and hardware come out that i can learn about.

[bluedevil]

yes if you see it like that i&#39;d probably be a 0.5 :)

i tried to get it working on my original os, and it didn&#39;t work. i had to find out the hard way. yea, i&#39;m not that good

[Smurfette]

Now there&#39;s a rubric, I&#39;ll still say I&#39;m an 8 or 9.
I do think that the knowledge curve in that is somewhat out of kelter though... too shallow wll the way up to 8, then too steep from then on.

The question was how good one was with hardware. This doesn&#39;t seem to imply that a perfect 10 rating means you can design and build a CPU, rather that you have an intimate knowledge of how different types of RAM work, the principal behind SATA and RAID systems or the advantages of hyperthreading.

[abu_has_the_power]

i&#39;d say 10 would be, like i said up there, the god of computer hardware. not necessarilly build a cpu from scratch. but just has very deep knowledge of computers and hardware

[tesco]

that rubric is way wierd lol.

it goes from like someone who cant put together a computer to someone who puts them together and overclocks.

i can put mine together and can use it great also, but i dont overclock because there isnt really that much of a gain in small overclocks, and i dont have peltiers or wc becuase i dont have that kind of cash.

watercooling should b 8 and peltier 9, overclocking start at 7, building a computer should be 5, building without help of anyone is 6(me :)).

[abu_has_the_power]

well, u don&#39;t have to oc to get a 10.

[Cygnuz-Y]

7, i dont have money for Watercooling... :frusty:

[bob_the_alien]

Anyone can make their own parts as well, maybe not as advanced as a Video board or whatever, but a PC board is not that hard to make. A wire here and wire there, a chip here and chip there, and a little bit of solder and you&#39;ve got yourself a pc board.

And as far as the car thing, just knows how to make a car part doesn&#39;t make you a car guru, millions of factory workers around the world make car parts, but they have no idea how to repair a car. Same goes for PC parts, I have a buddy that works for Intel, and he makes the processors, but can&#39;t figure out how to install windows if his life depended on it.

You have engineers who know more about making parts and making them work in pcs, but many of them still have problems getting their computer to work. The whole computer guru thing is just thrown completely out the door. Some people know about some things and others about something else. Very few people can do it all.
Just my two cents, :D and I&#39;ve decided not to rate myself, it&#39;s pointless.

Edit: just noticed I was a little harsh, not trying to flame anyone

Because of a number of factors, not least your 32 page thread on building a pc and your "should I use rubbing alcohol to rub the thermal pad off the heatsink" question :)

Figures. Someone pouring salt on the wound. You are the one starting this BS again, bigdawg.

My time spent on this forum is something I consider valuable and enjoyable. However your presence (well, what you say, actually), is what makes my stay unpleasant.

So please, don&#39;t start again&#33;

I already know VB&#39;s opinion on this matter. It&#39;s not like there&#39;s something I can do to change his mind.

So please, zip it and stop yapping.

[abu_has_the_power]

guys, stfu with the craziness and flaming. let&#39;s all be nice here.


i wonder wat vb would be. hmmmm.... 9.99 probably. lol. clocker, hmmm.... he knows a lot, but hasn&#39;t had too much experience with all of them, so maybe a 9.5


if that&#39;s wrong, clocker and vb, point it out. lol

i kinda disagree with the premise that overclocking and experience with overclocking is the measure of how good a person is with computer hardware. there&#39;s a lot more to it than that, and there are plenty of people who are whizzes with hardware who&#39;ve prolly never overclocked at all.

as a hobby, yeah, overclocking and Xxtreme k00ling take a certain amount of learning & skill, but how important actually is that skill? it&#39;s just a hobby. being able to build & maintain stable workstations, servers and LANs, being able to resolve hardware conflicts without immediately resorting to a reformat, etc.... that&#39;s the kind of stuff you could actually get paid for. for example, if a person thinks he has to reformat his Windows drive just &#39;cause he changed his motherboard, then he ain&#39;t that good.

i said reformat, not reinstall. two completely different things. sometimes you can switch motherboards without reinstalling (i.e. you stuck with the same mobo/chipset brand), sometimes you&#39;ve gotta reinstall in order to get working drivers onto the HD (i.e. you switched brands)... but there are a lot of self-styled hardware "gurus" out there who will absolutely insist that you need to reformat and completely abandon the partition just &#39;cause you swapped a new mobo or video card in, and that&#39;s just ridiculous.

i&#39;ll just trust that you prolly misread that sentence. ;)

i said reformat, not reinstall. two completely different things. sometimes you can switch motherboards without reinstalling (i.e. you stuck with the same mobo/chipset brand), sometimes you&#39;ve gotta reinstall in order to get working drivers onto the HD (i.e. you switched brands)... but there are a lot of self-styled hardware "gurus" out there who will absolutely insist that you need to reformat and completely abandon the partition just &#39;cause you swapped a new mobo or video card in, and that&#39;s just ridiculous.

i&#39;ll just trust that you prolly misread that sentence. ;) [/b][/quote]
I am sorry, but there is no way you can take a hard drive, from, say, for the sake of arguement, off of my DELL, and plug it into big dawg&#39;s ASUS and expect to boot up Windows effectively.

That remains a fact of life. ;)

Now it is no Michael Jordan manuever to move data from one hard drive to another; I do this all the time, whenever I perform a back-up. I hope that is what you are referring to. Or, you could mean a GHOST partition.

Edit: and Brainiac, it is good to see you around. :)

Yes DW, I did.
I even tried to do everything right, too.
I had tested the water circuit out side of the box and all seemed fine, apparently the hose only leaked ( and it was a very tiny, slow, pinhole leak at that) when bent at it&#39;s final, installed shape.
As usual, upon first firing it up, I watched for any problems, but not long enough.
3 or so hours later the Radeon died a hideous and painful death.

The only replacement that I had handy is an ancient PCI card from a old Compaq or something. Max resolution is 480x600 and it only supports 16-bit color.

Needless to say, it BITES.

i think the terminology is getting in the way, here. depending on who you ask, they&#39;ll use different terms:
1) reinstall, partial reinstall, or repair = putting a new Windows folder in
2) reinstall, full reinstall, or reformat = completely wiping the partition

yes, you will prolly have to fix your Windows installation.

no, you don&#39;t have to delete the partition. a lotta people will swear up & down that it&#39;s necessary-- ask about it on a site like Futuremark and you&#39;ll get all kinds of crazy advice like that. but these are usually people who just reformat at the first sign of trouble, basically people espousing the "Rambo approach" to computer maintenance.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yah I have learned a lot more. I never said a LOAD of jobs, just at 2 local places. The reason why most companies dont hire any younger then 16 is insurance. If you parents sign stuff you can work at 15 without breaking the law. Yeah it was a 30 Page thread...most of the time it wasnt even me talking though. A lot of it was just everyone else talking about other stuff. Let it go it was a while ago.

And why would a computer shop not hire a 15 year old? If I know the same stuff as someone whose 18 then it doesnt really matter at all how old I am

hiring a 15 year old is legal, if the guy has a work permit from his school. i have one. i just need a job. think i should work part time for some computer store? but which one?

Mainly because a lot of people, out of pride, on purpose will avoid being served by a person thats much younger (we could be talking 10-30 years + here) that knows 10x more than them, just so as not to look stupid.


Plus, who likes being served by the spotty 15 year olds at McDonalds ?? (joke by the way :P)

10. i am the god of computers&#33;&#33; i can build a computer out of a teddy bear, a shoe box, a fish tank, and some other weird stuff. ooooohhhh.....

if this doesn&#39;t look fair, point that out

I just upgraded my sisters pc from a celeron 1.3 epox(3wtm via chipset) ,to amd 2600+tb shuttle(ak338n via)with no problems,no reinstll ,or format.
I agree, just because you install a new mobo, doesn&#39;t mean you have to reinstall the OS, I&#39;ve done it serveral times, just moving one hard drive to the other.
It maybe optimal to go all out and even reformat, but it&#39;s not required, so It&#39;s not a fact.
Of course you will have a bunch of extra unneeded drivers installed, so it would be cleaner, but it doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;s not going to work.

[DWk]

:frusty: :01: Say no to violence&#33; :frusty: :01:

This topic is funny to read.

Ok now here&#39;s just a comment from what I want to comment on.

@Bigdawg.

(first, try not to take this the wrong way, since you seem to do this all the time) Most computer sellers do what they&#39;re supposed to do: sell computers. It&#39;s different if you&#39;re talking about being a computer technician. The average technician doesn&#39;t know much (or knows vaguely) about how computers actually work. They just do what you did with your computer: build it up, set it up, and tweak it "a little" (no offense to oc&#39;ers :) ).

The thing is, a good technician shouldn&#39;t just know that - if you ask an "average" technician to tell you how many volts does the AGP or PCI slots have, I doubt you&#39;ll get a good answer. In most cases, they don&#39;t even know what cable is the 12V cable which comes from the PSU.

My point is (and I&#39;m gonna bring Descartes over here), all anyone can know is that they know NOTHING. The insignificant piece of knowledge you (think you) have is probably worthless to 98% of the world. It is useful (however), to what you do. Being this a forum of (mostly) technology-related talk (sorry Lounge, not you :P), a "Rate yourself" post might be appropriate. However, I don&#39;t think it would make a damn bit of a difference if you either rate yourself as 8,9,10,25, a million.

All you have to realize is what you have is something for yourself and yourself only (Oh morpheus inspired me there :rolleyes: ). It might be helpful for someone else if you are willing to share it. It isn&#39;t helpful whenever you try to keep bickering at something that isn&#39;t worth so (and I&#39;m talking about fighting).

Damn, that came out long. Well, I hope you got my point, and REALLY hope you didn&#39;t get that the wrong way.

@clocker

Man that fecking sucks. Now that you&#39;ve experienced this, I HAVE to ask something:
Do you think the WC was worth it?

@Smurfette, adamp2p, and braniac

Oh god you have said this to me a million times - SHUT UP. Stop fighting for something that isn&#39;t worth it.

Oh yeah, no doubt.

What happened was my fault and had nothing to do with watercooling as a solution at all.
Properly done, my experience notwithstanding, it&#39;s not that difficult, watercooling offers the best of both worlds- low noise and excellent heat removal.

The best heatsink in the world (insert your candidate here) can only be as good as the airflow in your case will allow. Poor airflow=high ambient case temps=high chip temps.
Watercooling basically removes the case airflow from the equation, so life gets that much simpler.

There is also the bling factor which is hard to quantify, but undeniably present.

What happened to me was the result of my own carelessness and stupidity...don&#39;t let it dissuade you from trying what I consider to be a superior method of cooling.

[DWk]

bling factor keke.


Yea I might try water cooling on one of the other computers I have :)

Its 1.30 am and raining outside. We brits love our rain, just can&#39;t get enough of it :lol:

I bet you people living in warm, sunny climate are jealous because you get that boring sun all the time :lol:
Actually Guatemala has one of the best weathers of the world -

It doesn&#39;t rain too much, the sun isn&#39;t THAT hot, there are only 2 seasons - warm and wet. Warm - sunny, no rain, but fresh. Wet - rainy, fresh, a little colder.

No snow.

No complaints B)

Our weather here in Nova Scotia sucks &#33;&#&#036;@%%. It was 6 degrees celcius yesterday with absolutely no wind.Today on the other hand,it was -7 degrees and we had the wind blowing at about 35 km/hr (windchill around -20 or so).A couple of weeks ago we had windchills in roughly at -55 degrees and we got some snow also. This time last year we had a couple of feet of snow on the ground but this year just a couple of inches.


Oh I want the sun to come back,it&#39;s too damn cold.BRRRRRRR

Sorry Brainiac, but you are dead wrong. If you change your motherboard (go from a say, Dell->an Abit) you need to reinstall Windows, it&#39;s just a fact of life.
i said reformat, not reinstall. two completely different things. sometimes you can switch motherboards without reinstalling (i.e. you stuck with the same mobo/chipset brand), sometimes you&#39;ve gotta reinstall in order to get working drivers onto the HD (i.e. you switched brands)... but there are a lot of self-styled hardware "gurus" out there who will absolutely insist that you need to reformat and completely abandon the partition just &#39;cause you swapped a new mobo or video card in, and that&#39;s just ridiculous.

i&#39;ll just trust that you prolly misread that sentence. ;)
I am sorry, but there is no way you can take a hard drive, from, say, for the sake of arguement, off of my DELL, and plug it into big dawg&#39;s ASUS and expect to boot up Windows effectively.

That remains a fact of life. ;)

Now it is no Michael Jordan manuever to move data from one hard drive to another; I do this all the time, whenever I perform a back-up. I hope that is what you are referring to. Or, you could mean a GHOST partition.

Edit: and Brainiac, it is good to see you around. :)
Adam, if you&#39;re not going to read and try to comprehend what Brainiac has posted (twice), please STFU. [/b][/quote]
Dude, you don&#39;t get it, do you?

Brainiac has been a friend of mine for almost a year...I listen to what he says with respect. Take a deep breath dude

Be a nerd while you are young kid...I learned the hard way

...trust me, if you work hard enough now you won&#39;t end up like me...

Get good grades in math and science, they are the most competitive fields--and earn the highest &#036;---even though it may take hours and hours to master math and science, if you get good at it now it won&#39;t be so hard for you later...to make serious cash

You too 4th gen...are you a comp. sci major like Lamsey?

There is a lot of money to be made in that field, but a hell of a lot of work to do to earn it (at least in the US).

Okay sorry for diverting the discussion, I had to say hi to my friends for a min.

[SciManAl]

scimanal gets a 9 too

i am touched, no reallt thanks, but i don&#39;t know... i like clocker have some horrible sins on our records... :lol:

Clocker i am sure it went to a better place... where it was not cold but a perfect ambient temperature of 25c never going up or down... never leaking... always geting over 20k on the 3dmark tests without haveing to oc any...

:lol:

wow guys i wonder why you guys didn&#39;t pick up on his age... :blink:

I work on educating poeple with comps... i find that the more witty remarks they have to thow at you... (ok clocker you have a store of witty, smart relevant remarks that could fill the earth and then some...) the older they tend to be... personal expierience helps... :D


Calculus 2: B

LOL 4.0 lol

i try to maintian a 2.5... let alone a 4.0 lol Still happy for ya though very nice.

I&#39;m &#39;only&#39; doing the Bachelor course, due to the fact I was doing chemistry major last year, but gave up. Still, the career prospects should be good if I stick in at it.

Can one of you guys please explain this "4.0 average" for a bemused outsider? :unsure:

4.0 is the grade average.. 4.0=A so 4.0 solid means straight As...

I wish i had straight As, i qam currently however looking into certifacations...

[bob_the_alien]

I&#39;m currently pushing a 4.0 the last two semesters, only problem, my second semester in college I decided the alcohol and MJ were my best friends, and came out with a 1.3, so my career average has been suckin&#39; wind. I&#39;ve finally got it to 3.03; hopefully I can get it up to at least a 3.5, and keep it there.
That one bad semester&#39;s really does stay with you, and haunt you the rest of your college span.

Not as bad as my buddy though, he enjoyed the parties with me that semester, and went on enjoying them for the next two semesters, and was booted out. Glad I at least had the good since to turn it around, so I didn&#39;t end up that way.

Ah, that makes some sense...
If A=4 and B=3, C=2 etc then I got a 3 average for 5th year at High School (5 highers, physics (A (band 1 :) ), chemistry (B ), maths (B ), geography (B ), english (c ))

i have heard of that system the 5s etc...

but i am in the Pre-IB program (international bacculoriate) sp?? and it is based on 4=a,3=b etc...

i am will be in IB next year and it uses the same... it is supposed to be world wide standerds for extreme honours classes or sumtin... :blink:

Well if your strength is in physics, that is a good thing. What kind of physics is it if it is not calculus based? AFAIK, physics is a nightmare. Part of Calculus is physics applications like "a ball is fall in at speed x at time z it hits particle y find the time they collide"...arrggh :angry:

Well thank you. No, Guatemala isn&#39;t an english-speaking country. It&#39;s quite the opposite. The "official" language is spanish. However, most people (even though they say they aren&#39;t) are mayan-descendant, so there are about 20+ (major) mayan languages, each according to the region they are located.

Nice grades adam :smilie4:
When I got out of high school, my average would be a 3/B/83. However, university has been a bitch. I won every class in the first semester with good grades (again, a good 3/b/8x average). However, the second semester was a bad one. Only passed one class, and with the minimum. Now I&#39;m battling to get my average up and running again :)
But now it&#39;s gonna be harder with a job :angry: hehe jk well at least I&#39;m learning more responsibility than what I had.

Olololol. Lemme see. The courses I take every year are mostly 2 important ones: Math and Physics (the other is computer programming, but this is more because of system engineering rather than just engineering). I guess they help you be patient and think about stuff before you do it. It&#39;s pretty hard, but it just takes time to learn :)

The bachelor degree is a 4 year course and the master degree is a 5 year course. Not sure about job prospects at the moment.

Olololol. The story of my 2nd semester ;) Although it didn&#39;t involve alcohol and/or MJ :P It involved going to play pool and counter-strike :ph34r: Stupid me :frusty:

:lol: counter-trike is almost as addictive as alchohol or the mary jane, so your problem was almost as bad as mine. :lol:

Tu vives in Guatamala? Realmente? Donde naciste? Tu hablas como un gringo&#33;
Lolol. Ok so that everyone understands:

Si, vivo en Guatemala. Sin embargo, nací en Costa Rica. Afortunadamente, mi inglés no apesta (o es una mierda, como decimos aqui :P ) Estudié en un buen colegio :)

Yes I do live in Guatemala. I was born in Costa Rica, though. I&#39;m glad my english doesn&#39;t suck. I was taught in a good school though :)

Yeps. It all adds up just before finals, when you see what you can still salvage from the semester, or just throw it to the trash :frusty:

Gladly, I learned the lesson. Right now, I&#39;m doing MUCH better, I&#39;m not missing classes, etc. And hopefully, this adds up to the fact that I start my new job on monday&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; w0oh0o&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; :01:

Actually the place I live has 99.9% pure water, so that&#39;s no problem. You can drink right from it :)

wow, cool, she said that she had gotten diaria... but then it was a few years back...
But i think is undisputable that you are in one of the best looking regions of the world as far as natural stuff comes in... You are neck and neck with those crazy New Zealand peeps... :lol:

Well I could just kinda see a piece of land sticking out into the ocean that they said was Guatamala. I was in Pounta Gorda at the time...the pretties stuff would have to be Blue Creek (are you familiar with that?) and the Jungle areas oh and cant forget the coral reefs. We flew over those in a plane..omg it was soo tight...great weather too.

Scotland has to be pretty high up in the natural beauty stakes too...not that I&#39;m biased or anything ;)

8 I guess...although this is a kinda dumb topic lol.
If bigdawg is 8 then im 30&#39;000.
um..unecessary...im a 7 on his rubric...why dont you shut the fuck up..im a 7 on his rubric...thats what it is...its a fact..i did all of the stuff..stfu

I know more about computers then anyone in my 5A school..i know alot about them almost more then my computer tech teacher...i help people with alot of stuff...why would u be 30,000 if im 8? which i changed to 7 on his rubric huh? is it because i like asus and not epox <_< I know alot about computers...ive been offered jobs at computer places, so i dont know why your 30,000 if im 8. [/b][/quote]
Woah, didnt think you would actually reply to my post like that.

Anyway, why I would be 30k if you were 8? Or I guess, 26.250k to your 7? Do the math.

Look, I could care less how much you know compared to the people in your school. I could care less if you know more than your computer teacher. What you know, and what is supposdly a 7, or an 8 or whatever on this scale, seems to be very low for a 7, or an 8.

[thetrader]

I would rate myself with 7.
I have many things to learn, but i can handle well my software and hardware.
The last 6-7 years, there wasn't a problem that i didn't manage to solve alone.
Hardware problem or software problem.

[Shinzen]

your software and hardware ?

[thetrader]

your software and hardware ?

hmmm
sorry for my ban English...
I mean that i can format my PC alone and i can fix more of the issues that a user may have in windows...

I also can find out what part (hardware) of my PC has a problem without go to a technician...
So i can buy a new one and fix it alone.

Nothing special, but 10 years ago i was paying a PC technician for every little problem, so it's an improvement for me !!!

[megabyteme]

I dreaded taking my computer to a tech! That encouraged me to learn the same way you have, tt. It's amazing how reluctant some people are to trying new things. Just contacted my dad/step-mom recently. I sent them a link to a gallery of my kids that somehow didn't make a link on their end. I showed them how to copy & paste- they were impressed with the trick. :01: They are not the worst I have come across in the family, though... My wife's sister has had to call us several times to do the same exact thing. :frusty: I've lost a lot of respect for her. :ermm:

[Shinzen]

@thetrader don't feel sorry you will learn in no time if u keep posting in forums n giving replies or atleast u will know how to respond properly

@megabyteme even i do face situations like especially , when i was managing a internet cafe lot of noobs visits the center n many of em dont even know how to do basic stuff properly n blame the systems even if try to teach them the proper way they wont learn.

[megabyteme]

That's gotta be Hell dealing with people at an internet cafe. My condolences. :)

[Shinzen]

Yeah a lot , especially when they come treat you like u know nothing i cant even respond to them if i did it will ruin the business.

[megabyteme]

I didn't have that experience, but I did start an in-home pc repair business. I quit a few months after I started because the customers were just too painfully dumb- and I spent too much time trying to be nice and help them actually enjoy using their computers. My mistake there... :(

I have successfully fixed all pc problems I have come across, but I'm still about 0/50 for fixing the operators...

[sandman_1]

Hmm hard to say since when it comes to hardware knowledge, I have x86 Assembler programming experience with low-level port programming of hardware: VGA display, DMA Controller, PIC, ect.. I build my own systems but I haven't delved into building/installing custom water cooling solutions or like mods. Maybe an eight? IDK.

[Deeper_Meaning]

I'd say it's round about 6

[mr. nails]

se7en

[jallen100]

I would say about 8-8 1/2 :)

[clocker]

Sprocket has now run for well over a year with no hardware or software changes...a new personal record.
In recognition of this milestone I'm upgrading myself to a 6!

[greatseeder]

It's a seven. I tried watercooling but it didn't work out as expected.
After emptying the bucket filled with water over the computer it started to make some
weird noises and finally shutdown. So I think I can't really give myself an eight.
That would be too much honour, if it's an eight it's for the effort not the final result.

[7th]

Something near 8. Never tried watercooling though =|

Oh stop, dude you're like a 12. Lets look at it like this, what don't you know about? Shit, you've helped me with pretty much every build I've had so far.

[clocker]

That's because I pitied you...being from New York and all, the obstacles you had to overcome were daunting.

[Detale]

You have no idea! Some say it's the greatest city in the world yet there is no where to get good computer parts. I have to drive to Jersey to get to MicroCenter ffs!

[Ivart]

cool :)

[bijoy]

cool :)

what's cool here?? weather? ;)

[senegal]

I think I'm 3 (maybe 4!)/10.
