If you mean the whole religious affair, yeah. If you are only about the gifts, like my little brother who made a list three months early... That went well...

So the watch in question retails for 365 due to more "special edition" marketing bs, but was only about a 100 bucks because sales and coupons... Wore it, its heavy as hell, then my mom produced a SECOND invicitia watch... waaay better imo... so I'm keeping the second, cheaper one, but still going to costco JUST in case, apparently...


I'd like to say that GTA V is now destroyed thanks to my meddling with settings and putting in negatives for it to run smoothly and I prolly have to reinstall it.... bye bye bandwidth, its been nice knowing you.
 
Lol I need to get GTA V....thing is I dont want to game again. Not my thing anymore...grrr.

Save yourself the trouble and just upgrade your PC bro so you can play all these games maxed out. Do you have some spending money?
 


I wish. I get yelled at anytime I ask.
 
Damn I feel you :/ I mean, I can upgrade my PC my parents wont get that mad but I dont need to..I get yelled at anytime I ask for, idk anything really xD ....Im just torn between a car or flight lessons seeing that Id have to go to the navy and fly a P-8 for a very high chance of flying for an airline...
 


Never buy yourself a Rolex. That is not how it works. You are only supposed to receive a Rolex as a gift. Plus to be honest, really expensive watches are for rich people and any young person like us just looks like an idiot with an expensive watch on. I would know. I own a custom Breitling with a diamond dial (really long story how I got this as a gift). I have only worn it a couple times and everyone gives you dirty looks. Like I am not rich, so it looks ridiculous for me to be wearing a watch that costs more than most average new Hondas. It is cool to have but I seriously doubt I'll ever wear it much. Nor will I ever sell it.

 
Full specs are in my profile. PM me with message # if you want to discuss anything (so I now that it's not just a gerneral response to the thread).

So i'm basically going to clog up this thread a bit with my build. Just wanted a central spot to show it off that was not a new thread. When it comes to computers I like the ambiguous blackbox look because it sort of parallels a "sleeper car" that doesn't look like anything special.

M.2 Cooling and h105 mounting issues

 
I successfully removed and applied thermal paste for the first time! I was a bit nervous, but it went well. I would say I used smaller than a pea size. My idle temps are around 35C so it's fine. Along with my new motherboard installation (I now have a computer that can reboot!) I also installed the Samsung 850 EVO I got for Christmas. Altogether, everything took me a while, about 4 hours because cable management gets difficult with 4 drives and I also put the two SSDs down below the motherboard rather than in the drive bays.

But I'm just glad it went well. Time for me to crack out a few brand new Assassin's Creed games and get this baby rolling!
 


The thing is that they are not jealous. They think it looks ridiculous, because it does. It would be different if we were 40, but we aren't.

I have several daily watches most of which are sub-$500. I wear one Skagen more than anything else and it was only $130.
 


I used MX-4. Basically, my temps are the same as they were with the Intel heatsink's default paste, which I'm fine with because my temps were always good with that. And I think this 20 grams is going to last me a long time.

Anyway, I'm thinking of tomorrow going to Microcenter to buy a PSU and hard drive, to create a second build (my spare PSUs stink). I kind of want to gift the PC to someone, it'd be great to see a smile on someone's face.
 
Yeah quick tip on watches, if you ever buy a watch, pricy or not, dont make it a Boss, Guess, Burberry, Etc. Make sure its for a company that ONLY makes watches like Rolex, Bulova, Tag Heuer, tissot, etc
