Ya Know Ur A Real Ocer When...

[kurosen]

when you talk like you're a member of the borg

When the Borg refuse to assimilate you for fear of being OCed too hard...

 

If you have the Fire Department on standby for when you load a game of Counter Strike.

 

When your case window is really just a burn hole.

[r_target]

When wandering in and out of your room checking Prime95 for 14 hours is your idea of a good time.

[spectrascope]

you know your a real Ocer when the two newest cpu's seem slow and lacking to you and your cpu voltage is 1.7

[cGrUnDy]

When your son's name is Linux and your dog's name is MsWindows

 

(by the way I named my son Linux long before the IBM Linux commercials)

I hope you're kidding.

When high is just never high enough

 

When you have to keep your computer off the floor or it will melt your carpet

 

When you use bawls in your water cooling because you think it might make it that much faster

 

When you have to reset CMOS 4 times a day

 

When you can call a major reseller of computer parts, and regardless of who answers the phone they know who you are and a decent amount of your computer experience

 

When something blows, you have the replacement on hand

 

When you drop out of college to use your tuition for another computer

^ for more cooling

 

When you hate Macs because you can't really tweak 'em

 

When you never leave these forums

[Guest Arauthator]

Man,

 

You guys left nothing for me to say!

[Jakalwarrior]

You watched OCC (Orange County Choppers) expecting a show about case modding

 

A chill runs up your spine when you smell burning circuit board

 

Instead of taking a CDR to your friends house to grab a big file, you take a spare hard drive

 

When you cut your computer on guests wait outside for the person with the blow dryer to get done so they can use the bathroom.

 

A jet flys over while your sleeping and you have to make sure its not somone on your computer

 

Somone comes over to use your internet and you have to brief them on what to do if your CPU overheating alarm goes off.

[urvaius]

When you give your boss "one" of your spare computers to use when his breaks down. It was only folding anyway.

You have enough parts to build what was a great system from last year, and enough to build one that would of been great the year before, and the year before.

 

Your computer started out as a packard bell 286 from sears <___mine many moons ago

 

You just paid off said system last year.. 2k

 

haha maybe that was a 486. I can't remember so long ago. too many comps
