What the title says

I Voted for indifferent, its a blessing in disguise

r9 · Dec 23, 2009, 12:35 PM

Nope. Maybe if my E5200 dies it is a nice sample

. I would not care less for other stuff I have.

Mussels · Dec 23, 2009, 12:44 PM

i feel sad

Fourstaff · Dec 23, 2009, 12:45 PM

After a (relatively) long thought, I will only feel sad if my HDD die, all the data lost!

Other than that, I can get over it.

Bow · Dec 23, 2009, 12:47 PM

I wish it would die....I want to build a new one.

Kreij · Dec 23, 2009, 12:50 PM

I weep with dispair and then I'm depressed for a month.

I voted no

warup89 · Dec 23, 2009, 12:55 PM

I only get sad when I know the warranty for my broken part is expired, but other than that I actually get kinda happy [yet a bit annoyed] when something breaks, knowing that I will get a brand new replacement later, its also a great wake up call to upgrade some of your other parts.

My MB just died 2 days ago, but now im waiting for a new MB and a new Video card ^_^

Solaris17 · Dec 23, 2009, 12:57 PM

my main rig popped about a month ago. mobo proc ram all dead. i pretty much cried. im using my laptop . its a sad day

BarbaricSoul · Dec 23, 2009, 01:01 PM

the quad SLI system? You didn't hurt my GX2 did you?

Yes, I'm sad when my hardware dies, even hardware I sold.

Frick · Dec 23, 2009, 01:01 PM

So far I've been happy. You know when your stuff is old and you really want to upgrade and but the stuff you have does everything you want it to without a hitch.. Then you look for errors.

Now selling stuff.. That breaks my heart.

-1nf1n1ty- · Dec 23, 2009, 01:03 PM

yes, cause I then realize how much i spent on it.... :.(

"this is my GX2 their are many like it but this one is mine"

BarbaricSoul · Dec 23, 2009, 01:09 PM

Cool that you didn't lose everything, but damn, losing a new x58 motherboard,CPU and the RAM really does suck balls. What happened?

im pretty sure it all started with the mobo. i was pushing it and i think one of the power phases gave up. it was all down hill from their. whole rig went WTF i still need to RMA EVGA said ok but i dont have the $$ to do it. nothing back from mushkin or intel. which is wicked lame. i cant RMA if they dont e-mail me back

BarbaricSoul · Dec 23, 2009, 01:12 PM

Sensi Karate · Dec 23, 2009, 01:14 PM

If its just recently bought and I voided my warranty, I would get so pissed I'd smash the TV, followed by crying about the fact I now need to replace my new hardware as-well as buy another TV.

Other then that, if a HDD went crap on me and I had all my valuable pr0n on it I'd go bonkers.

Dec 23, 2009, 01:16 PM

I havent had many parts die (touchwood

) though if it means downtime from my main rig then its a big pita, if its a hdd or something, no biggie, use another and rma, I went without a mobo a few months back, 3 weeks I waited in all cause the 2nd they sent me was doa

Cold Storm · Dec 23, 2009, 01:16 PM

I don't feel as sad as I did a few years back.. Only because my downtime won't be 4-6m like it was then.. lol

TRIPTEX_CAN · Dec 23, 2009, 01:17 PM

I get depressed for a bit, especially if I have to replace something and it cuts into my saving funds for my house or if I was saving for another unnecessary gadget/parts for bike or truck.

The worst feeling is unintentionally destroying a piece of hardware and voiding your warranty in the process.

W1zzard · Dec 23, 2009, 01:26 PM

i'm sad that the 5850 i have here seems to be dead because that means no comparison scores for future reviews

only when it's clearly my fault (rushing things) then i am pissed, otherwise i find someone else to blame :P

It's annoying but i can live with it now, since i have a netbook as secondary system. So i can listen to music, download stuff and check e-mails.

MRCL · Dec 23, 2009, 01:39 PM

I get annoyed. I only get sad when I have to sell my hardware.
