You must of had to take a break, unless you pissed and crapped yourself in your seat. And starved.

When you exchange motherboards 3 times in one month because you can't get above 450 FSB.

cdawall · Jan 3, 2009, 07:36 PM

when you have gone from s754->AM2->s939->AM2+->LGA775->AM2+ all within about 4 months

when you have about $400 worth of mobo's alone in the mail right now

when you look to your side and see 3 PSU's a box of cpu's 8x120mm fans some H2O chunks and none of it is in a case

when you have gotten so tired of pulling off your side panel that its in the garage right now

when its your $400 worth of mobo's sitting in the mail right now and your more worried about the 80GB HDD sitting with them

hmmm . . . when you start modding a game (and not "cheat" mods) before you've even beaten it.

kysg · Jan 3, 2009, 09:27 PM

when you have ripped your lanbox apart so many times you leave it with the top off and the rest of it dismantled into seperate pieces.

when you decide to no longer use a case and just use LN2, and your LN2 pot is about 10 ft tall

when you've re-installed WIN so often, your activation codes no longer work, and you must go through the annoying process of calling them and actually speaking to a real person and not a recording.

When you have to call MS for activation frequently because WIN has locked you out again due to too many hardware changes

LittleLizard · Jan 3, 2009, 09:54 PM
