LoArmistead Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 When your computer cost more than your car When you can't hear the phone ring because your computer is too loud When the people at the computer store know you by your first name When the electric bill is bigger than the mortgage payment If you have more computers than you have friends When you have to sleep on the couch because your bed is covered with computer parts 180436[/snapback] guilty as charged Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezza Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 When you can tell a major difference between a 72Hz and 75Hz refresh rate. 469908[/snapback] I don't know about this... I can tell the difference, anything less than 75 hurts my eyes... But that's not cos I'm an OCer, it's cos I'm dyslexic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nan0click Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 i still like the one about turning the comp off and your mom calling the cops because she thinks you ran away... that's the best one anyone's posted. i have a new one (true) you know blah blah... when the fedex guy accidentaly delivers something to your house instead of the neighbors because he's so used stopping at your house.

NCC10281982B Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 When you are Home Depot buying ...stuff.... and you see the Window Unit Air Conditioners for sale, and quickly start thinking..... OK, $139.00 for the AC, 5,000 tons of cooling, each tone of cooling is equal to ???? Watts of heat. My folding rigs, which are silent right now because of summer, put out a total of (make it rediculous) 20,000 watts of heat.... That should get the farm room temp down to 89 Degrees and the machines won't over heat any more.... 494276[/snapback] I HAVE thought about that. When your room looks like this.

(moniter wasnt showing anything.. AH. unplugged it, plugged it back in .. fixed) you have the side of your case of and an industrial fan blowing on it you have your cpu spead as your msn name you oc a bit more and emedietly tell everyone you know whenever you dont have anything to do you dig out a flash light and examine all your hardware.. the thought of oc'ing a p2 makes you happy you volunteer to help ppl with building computers because you have a computer building addiction you drool whenever anyone mentions the number 7800... or 57.. or 64 ... thats enough for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you're an OCer when: You save money each winter by lowering your fan speed and letting your proc heat your entire house. You've been ordered by law to reinsulate your house due to noise.
