Fuck sake. "Reading" the news is a pain in the ass anymore. Too often I click a headline to read an article and it's a fucking video with a 40 second commercial in front of it.

Or option B, you click on a headline to be taken to another site and told you aren't a subscriber and that you need to create an account and for only X number of dollars you can be enjoying all of the content....fuck off.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
/in other emo news, I cannot be fucked today :emo: coming down with some sort of Christmas aids, there's shit leaking out of all my face holes.
HR keeps harassing me to do this bullshit health in the work place assessment which is an online test that makes sure you know how to stare at your monitors without your eyes exploding. It tells you to take regular breaks from the screen despite them telling me off last week for having too many smoke breaks. They don't understand me, just like my parents :emo: :emo: :emo:
…and I made an M$ Lync server yesterday but it doesn’t work :emo: :emo: :emo: :emo: :emo:

I didn't try them, but one of them should work. You can do this from the developer console without installing anything, but of course, extensions are more intuitive.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Going to sell ye olde pc on Craigslist. $500 sounds quite fair I think.
CPU - Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.7GHz
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3 LGA motherboard
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (DDR3 1600)
EVGA GTX 550ti
EVGA 8800 GTX (great as a dedicated Physx card)
SSD - 128GB Crucial M4
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM
PSU - Corsair modular HX750
Cooler Master 690 case
Fresh install of Windows 8 Pro-64 bit (bootleg; preactivated)
-
Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Skiz if you upgraded the RAM and the graphics card on that system there is only minor advantages (mainly power savings & PCIE 3) in going to a Haswell based PC?

Aren't you a bit concerned about this? *
*Just a question. During XP's life-cycle I insisted that friends/family purchase an OEM/Academic version. I must have sold a dozen copies of the OS for Micro$oft without a cent of commission. :frusty: However, what would the repercussions be the person buying your machine found out it was bootleg and reported you? Are you meeting the potential buyers at your home?
-
Re: Last one to post wins the internets
I'm not going to lie to anyone. The last thing I want to do it cheat/scam a buyer. I'm going to outright tell them it's bootleg. If they're ok with it, great. If not, I'll format the drive with dban or something and they can acquire their own OS. The only other alternative is putting Linux on it but I wouldn't want the fact that it's Linux to scare buyers away either.
I guess I could say it comes with no OS, but Windows 8 could be installed free of charge, and then tell them what it is over the phone or in person when they arrive. :idunno:

Errr.... yes it was, I thought the question mark at the end was a hint, but maybe I should have been clearer, I would have thought that upgrading the RAM and graphics would have been more cost effective and the advantages of upgrading to a generation 4 i5 from a generation 3 (like yours) are only slight (as I mentioned mainly a power savings of 10% and PCIE 3), therefore cost versus gain wouldn't be that advantageous. If get a good return for your old setup it will offset the cost, but secondhand goods go for notoriously cheap prices.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Arty, the original comment read like a statement so I wasn't sure.
There were most definitely more cost effective ways of upgrading but it had been two years since I'd built myself anything new, and even that was still just a parts upgrade. I hadn't built myself anything entirely new in about 5 years so I think I just got the itch.
It started out with me wanting a new case. I could have gone with the same GPU, a 32GB memory upgrade. But to get the same performance out of my 2500K I would have had to do some overclocking, which also meant upgrading my default heatsink. After looking at everything that was going to be upgraded - case, RAM, GPU, cooling, and overclocking, I just started to look at starting fresh.

It is a fine balancing point. I am not sure of the current methods for installing Win8, but maybe the best (and safest) option for you might have something to do with installing but not entering a serial number. If the buyer has issues, they can purchase one. If they don't (and don't give you any indication of trouble), hand them a printed one on a piece of paper as they leave. Something like that.
-
Re: Last one to post wins the internets
I use the "Pre-activated" versions so there's no serial to enter at all.
I changed the listing to something like, Windows 8 can be installed at not charge if you like.
-
Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Maybe something like, "Win8 cna be negotiated, if desired". I doubt M$ is trolling private sellers, but I do know they successfully sued a small business that was selling machines without proper licenses a few years back.
What does a general Craig's List ad read on the subject? Certainly you are not alone. I'm just suggesting it is best to not stand out. :ninja:

I'd say that is probably the best choice. Craigslist buyers aren't really known for their fucks given. "Does it turn on? Cool, can we stop having this awkward encounter now? Awesome."

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Just tell them that it came 'pre-installed'.

Since other 'members' of this forum (I use the term in all it's connotations)had recently given me grief over an upgrade of mine, I was being slightly douchey and sharing the love :naughty: I do understand the itch and there are arguments for starting from scratch although on the subject of CPU cooling, particularly if you are entertaining the thought of overclocking, have you looked into closed loop liquid cooling? (not a statement).
There are several respected brands now manufacturing liquid coolers, and the prices are comparable to aftermarket CPU coolers with far better results.

They look cool and do the job, but the maintenance free H100i should be more than enough to keep it very cool, especially since it isn't even overclocked.
If I ever get the itch to do that, I think I'll solicit clocker to spend a day assembling it all with me. I've been watching his builds for a decade now.

I forgot you had a Corsair H100i, that is exactly the type of cooler I was referring to by closed loop liquid cooling, I'll shut up now.....

Ah. I thought you were talking about a standard liquid cooled system, not the all in ones.
-
Re: Last one to post wins the internets
I've got an Antec H2o 920 myself and I think that the all in ones or closed loop liquid coolers are brilliant, I like the Antec because it has a USB connector and monitoring software, but they run your system a great deal cooler and quieter and are actually cheaper than some of the big aftermarket air coolers.

Smoked for 11 years. Quitting was one of the toughest things I ever did but prob the most rewarding. I can't stand to be around ppl that are smoking now. I just got it in my head one day that I wanted to quit and did the whole thing cold turkey.
