Hymn Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 haha im only 14. PS i dont see how comp building regards with your age. some things stupid tech support lines know, i know more about. so its not like a 30 year old dummy on a tech support line knows it all. age has nothing to do with building computers except for experience.

StephenC Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 You know, My youngest son just turned 16. I upgraded his PC for is birthday (K8 with all the fixins) He does well in school, is polite to others, and stays out of trouble. So I had no problem upgrading his PC when he asked.

sluggo Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 age has nothing to do with building computers except for experience.And everybody knows experience is worthless, aye? Which is kind of a shame - think of what you could have learned in this little episode. sluggo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmay119 Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 C'mon guys let's not turn this into a flame war on the original poster. Obviously his attitude is a little distorted if he thinks that when stuff goes wrong, a quick swipe of daddy's credit card will fix it. It is however fair to say that we've all learned through experience. When I first started building computers a couple years back it took me a long time to fully be comfortable inside the computer case as I've made mistakes like these. Fortunately not to the extent of shorting out an expensive video card, but there have been RMA's in my past. To the original poster, sorry to hear about what happened. You now know when working with your computer or any electrical equipment to take your time. You can try to RMA the video card, but I think you should be upfront with them about what happened, instead of trying to weasel a new card out of a company because of negligance. Just my 2 cents.

OzSnoal Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 Hymn, you should stop fiddling inside your _expensive_ computer, I see you also did this: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15630 I don't blame your dad... but I do feel a little bad for you, I can imagine how you must feel. You're scary with computers, and I hope you are learning something from all of this. Why don't you fiddle with a an old junk computer if you want to learn how everything works and what not to do? I hope your dad forgives you :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
