Dude! whats wrong with this.

[simon275]

Funny screen shot taken from a forum of a guy who decided to cut off the back half of his PCI-E bus on his 7800gt to make it fit in a PCI slot is asking why his card won't work.

Funny! =))
..but you know what's scarier... if it worked :)

[silverdemon]

ouch!

he must be king of the n00bs on the planet n00b in the n00b-system :O

Holy hell.

[zitwep10]

My favourite part "so that it fit in the 1 slot things", says all there is to know about that dude. I would like to know on what forums it was posted.

[nil8]

That's fantastically funny. I'm glad our noobs aren't that bad.

[zitwep10]

I think that's beyond being a noob, that's like being arrogant, no respect or knowledge of technology, no common sense, no brains basically. Plain stupid.

[Commando]

Good thing he's asking questions. He just has the procedure wrong. It's ask then cut. Not cut then ask.

Bravo, that was an exceptionally expensive mistake. If your gonna screw up I guess, go big or go home.

[d_stilgar]

:Bonk: That was very dumb. I've broken expensive things before, but I've always known beforehand that I might do that. I haven't thought, 'let me cut this expensive thing, that will make it work better guaranteed."

Probably the same guy that would buy 184 pin ddr400 and cut it in half so it fits in his laptop, or snip one pin off a Socket 940 processor and wonder why it doesn't work in a 939 board.

Or asking if you need to install software in order to add another hard drive.

[Zephik]

This is good enough to add to my signature. ;)

Link to forum thread?

[bartvandenberg]

takes modding to a whole new level. If it dont fit, just cut it to make it fit. Should try this with an atx board in a micro atx case.

[Zephik]

hahaha

[bartvandenberg]

That is some horrible photochoping. You guys should see Crimsons photochoping skills. lol They are pretty damn good. *cough* snowmen *cough*

[SgtM]

I haven't laughed so hard for a LOOOOOOOONG time. I think this is one dude to needs his rights to own a computer permantly revoked.
+rep for finding this.

[tybrenis]

ROFL His dell doesn't even have AGP slots in the first place, only PCI. And even better, that card is PCI-E, so it doesn't matter anyways! Seriously what a dumbass.

But no, wait, there's more. When it didn't fit, he decided to fricken' cut off a chunk of it!!! What a great idea, dumbass.

[ESX]

Oh my god! *faints*
Next up, cut your mice wire to make it wireless?

[simon275]

Man that guy must be feeling so bad right now.

[nil8]

I bet his pocketbook is feeling worse.

Can't believe I missed this post. lol Basically, that's more like insult to injury. It'd be better if the guy was holding an old card that did have all the bottom tabs cut off in a pic and going "YEAH!!1"

[Zephik]

LoL..Snow I don't think anyone got that little joke I played....now where is that thread? :p

Thats why I brought it back up, I was pretty surprised that no one noticed! Lets have another go at it... :devious:

First person to point it out wins... um... +1rep point from me for being a tad bit sharper than the other tools in the shed.

[Timoi]

hey I can't beleive I needed this to notice... people, for the snowmen speakers, just look at the pics at newegg and compare to the pic crimson posted... NOTICE SOMETHING MISSING ON THE NEWEGG PIC SHOWING THE BACK OF THE SPEAKERS?

Crimson -> Nice work you really did fool me at first! And most people around here too! ROFL Me I can take but everyone else?

[nil8]

I think I've missed something.

[Timoi]

nil8 (and others who are still confused) -> check the 'click me' link in snowfire's post and also notice references to photoshopped snowment here and ther throughout this thread...

[nil8]

Ok, I got it. Still want those speakers on fire with elves dancing around throwing pixie dust and shouting in a joyful manner. Those speakers look so lame.

:redface:I can't laugh at this, it brings up some memories of what I did with my first computer.:redface:

[Zephik]

You mean this doesn't work??

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h237/MitaPi/HAHAHAH1.jpg

Damnit, I wanted to make my PCI-E x16 into a PCI-E x1... :mad:

Oh but wait!

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h237/MitaPi/HAHAHAH2.jpg

IT FITS!!

But its not working?? Did I cut it wrong?

:neutral:

...well there goes $130USD just for the amusement of my fellow TBCS members. Your welcome and you all now owe me a dollar. ;)

[simon275]

I use Lucas Film THX approvevd snowman speakers. Do you?

"Capitan Obvious away!" *Zooms off into the sky with a billowing cape.

Some people just shouldn't be let near a computer. Like DIY wireless mouse by one with a cord and cut the cord off. "But my mouse don't work" they cry.

Good work snow fire +rep for the sacrifice.

I will send you one jamican dollar through paypal. Which is about 1/65 of a US dollar.

Oh come on now I gotta know what you did...:rolleyes:

Oh come on now I gotta know what you did...:rolleyes:

Ya, I had my first computer which was a super fast 486 33mhz, and I was so eager to learn how to do all sorts of stuff to it. I was told a rule about a power cable that I found that was not true after all. I was told that the yellow wire on a molex connecter was suppose to be on the side of molex connecter closes to the ribbion cable. So I go to hook up a hard drive that did not follow the rule and fix the connecter to were it did, and turned it on. I quickly learn not to change the way things fit, because from that computer came a puff of smoke. It was pretty, it happened quick, and I pretty quickly learned a lesson at age 12. :redface:

Argh! Potatobucket have dropped the link because it was getting too many views.

Anyone have the link from the first post in their cache? Send it to me, and i'll give it a nice home on the TBCS server for a while...mainly so i can show everyone in the Department of Computer Science @ Glasgow Uni.

Might even turn it into...the best forward in the world.
