They're just called aerials.

I love to build PC's nowadays. In the past I bought them pre-built cause I didn't felt like building something to only break one thing, now I built my own PC and soon I'm allowed to build (and quite possibly break) my sister's PC when she has all the parts needed.

All of that started cause I got a new graphics card cause my old PC was a bit outdated.

Yeah it's amazing, it really feels like it's your PC. :D

I love it. Except the parts where things do not work as intended... like I had with my case's lightning being broken (and to this day it never will reach every color feelsbadman)

im too dumb to build a pc

c'est la vie

My computer is a slow piece of crap with an AMD ATI Radeon 5700 that sucks

TY October 6th, 2017 7:14 AM

My PC has a i7-7700K in it along with a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070, 16 GB RAM DDR4 from Corsair, an ASUS motherboard and for once in my lifetime not a stock cooler xD

and a case which lost its purple and blue lights :(

Guess my IT course helped out a lot on my confidence to build a PC :P

I'm still trying to decide on some other options though, such as how much RAM I want and what kinds of storage I want, but I'm slowly making up my mind.

What kind of specs are you aiming for? :o

That's pretty sick tbh. I want to eventually have a dualboot in my PC but I can't come up with a reason to have Linux atm since all I do rn is play games. GLHF with it! :D

Raffy98 October 6th, 2017 12:15 PM

That looks promising.

I built mine back in 2014, it has an i5-4570, a Radeon R9 270X, 8GB of RAM, an MSI Z87-G41, 2 1TB HDDs and a 120Gb Samsung 840 EVO SSD.
It also featured an AIO cooler (it was a Cooler Master Seidon 120v) but its pump died so now I'm back at using the stock cooler. :( rip.

TY October 10th, 2017 5:30 AM

I know the stock cooler struggle... I had mine for a long time untill my grand idea to rebuild my PC... I was the laughing stock at my school's LAN party cause of it (it looked ridiculous).

EC October 11th, 2017 5:36 PM

Can I get some help? How do I troubleshoot a keyboard issue? Sometimes the letters don't appear on the screen, no matter how many times I hit the key. It takes repetitive POUNDING to get them on. It's a new wireless keyboard. Is it a keyboard issue, a wireless issue, or something else?

In the middle of typing. Letters that I am sure I am hitting don't appear. I even look down at the keyboard to make sure I am hitting the letters and nothing happens. Haven't tried using it on anything else yet.

If it works fine on another device then that's a driver issue, but if it also doesn't work properly on another device then you received a defective keyboard which you shall return if you can.

EC October 12th, 2017 8:13 AM

The whole computer is borked now, USB ports not working, programs not loading, etc. Sending it back for a refund.

My laptop (which I am currently using) is faster than the new computer. I don't understand how that's possible.

Sawsbuck October 12th, 2017 10:20 AM

I have an i7 CPU 8GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon 5700
My computer sucks

What kind of computer is it? Seems odd that you're experiencing those issues with a new tower.

Also, have you had any power surges recently?

An 870 I think

It's not a new tower. It was an all-in-one. I sadly don't have room for a tower.

It's the first generation i7, it's still okay for now I'd say.

Tsutarja October 14th, 2017 8:47 AM

Well, it seems that no matter which distro of Linux I try, I cannot get it to work properly on my computer. The dual monitor setup in Linux is terrible, I can't get a proper network connection over wifi, and it does not play nice with UEFI at all.

Yep.

The problem is that my primary monitor is on my right, and not left. When I change it in settings, the cursor works but all the windows and bar at the top go all wonky.

Arsenic October 14th, 2017 6:03 PM

Say, what's the latest and greatest in the smartphone market?

I've been rather satisfied with my phone so I have been paying 0 attention to devices for the last few years (year? Idk how long it's been...) but am looking into upgrading sometime in the near future.

From my quick research, the LG v30 and Note 8 seem to be some of the best available right now, but what are you people'ses thoughts on them, or others?

Arsenic October 15th, 2017 4:47 AM

Luckily I'm not too worried about price, as I'm hitched on a govt plan so I get good dealz.

Not too interested in the iPhone either.

Haven't heard of the other two phones so I'm going to look them up!

EC October 15th, 2017 3:30 PM

This new laptop is way better and faster than that junk computer I had. Has a fingerprint scanner too!!
