I was praying I had a Delta. Looks like I was wrong.
I think my mom thinks that the entire computer is dead... uhhh, so upgrade maybe? Or I will get a GOOD psu and a new case... My little brother blurted out that the entire computer is dead(it's not).
Both ways, an upgrade is needed. I have a 350 AM3+ build and a 500 Skylake build ready with me reusing the GPU, HDD, and DVD drive. so.. yeah...
lot of time will be spent at the library now I guess.
 


I will either use my 600t for the case, or I found a Lian Li Test bench for about 40$. Might take that
 
True. Driving stick is like riding a bike. Once you lean, you can drive them all. Every one of them will be a bit different, but you will adapt and shouldn't have any issues.

As far as manual cars are concerned, I have driven Lamborghinis, Audi r8, a Ferrari 360, countless classic 4 speed muscle cars, several 1000whp+ modified cars, and several offroad vehicles. BY FAR the most fun stickshift I ever drove was a 10-speed dump truck. I laughed the whole time. It was awesome in so many ways!
 
Haha I grew up on a farm, so I know what that's like. Except it was a 13 speed and the accelerator had no adjustment. As soon as you touched it it was revving up as fast as possible. Quite terrible to drive. The most fun I've had in a stick shift was an '05 chevy Silverado that was used at a camp in the mountains. You could completely ignore the clutch and just throw it in gear willy-nilly. It was also very forgiving so people who didn't know how to drive stick learned in that thing all the time. The motor pool crew hated us... :ange:
 

Hey.
Tiny mac screen is tiny.. Borrowing a friends macbook pro for the next week. I don't have an adapter for my monitor so I could set up a dual screen, Ah well...
ohh look, a reddit bookmark.
 
Mom sent in a resubmission for the rebate... We'll see how it goes..
Next PC upgrade is a SSD... or a new HDD because I have little space left.
We are setting up a demo booth at school for the class/club. One display will be me or my friend showing the internals of a hard Drive(old, 10 GB one 😛) As well as showing a modified walkie talkie that shows the frequencies of nearby devices that use radio frequencies(phones, garage door openers), some cabling(RJ-45) and the famed 2 minute computer(bread boarded mobo with everything running in less than two minutes, from everything laying on the table. Not that hard but... normally one SHOULD take their time with things like this. oh, there would be a DVD drive or HDD with Linux on it).
 
Rebates can be like that. I once had then say my purchase date was wrong, but that was an NCIX vip date, not purchase. I highlighted it and emailed it to them.

After that I always circle the product, UPC number and date of purchase. I also keep a photocopy of it just in case(always did that).
 
Thankfully, i did the same and so did EVGA.
I've learned, in the last few drivers, that Apple and HP are being a PITA with my printer drivers... i can't find my driver disk, and the .dmg I downloaded from Apple/HP did nothing.... Gonna have to wake up reallllly early tomorrow...
 

Strange HP is normally pretty good for stuff like that. Even printers that had been released for Windows 98 still have basic drivers.
Does OSX have basic drivers that may work?
 
I tried the basic drivers in system properties and the HP ones. The mac gives me something along the lines of "Drivers not available". My hp keyboard registered as Japanese, but my mouse and USB works fine... weird...

Note to self: Ge a 17 inch laptop... 15 inches is really small because I really like having the windows side by side...
 


Could be... This laptop is only 720p.
The HP packages say it worked, but it doesn't let me print from my printer(F44480).
 
Yesterday in the sea of 911's I always see around the city, I was stopped at a light next to this BMW i8. Pretty neat.

I have seen a few of those on the freeway - they're pretty sweet looking. I even saw one at a BMW dealer when I was in the UK last week. There were a lot of ultra high end car dealers where I was staying.
 
Clarkson drove one on one of the last episodes of Top Gear and he was surprised that he loved it.
