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

Please don't tell me the HIS. I bought one based off of your review.

How could grabbing a BEAR help his situation?

Don't you know Mailman... Wait, you live in a area where there isn't any bears.. lol.. Grab a bear and snuggle with it! Spoon if you feel the need too.

no i can't say i get sad,
i was just annoyed as hell when my psu decided to open the vents on the mains capacitors and leak them inside the casing .
i was bored when i couldn't get on the net ,and was reduced to shouting expletives at the neighbours out the windows instead :laugh:

yogurt_21 · Dec 23, 2009

I first get annoyed, then I petition my wallet to see if I can buy new things, then I am sad.

Dibs the 5850 mailman.

My wallet gets sad every time a piece of hardware dies.

dr emulator (madmax) · Dec 23, 2009

grabbing a bear is no good he could then sue you for animal abuse :laugh:

Thrackan · Dec 23, 2009

The only time I felt slightly sad is when I made some capacitors explode on a 200 euro X58 board... Otherwise I'll just buy new stuff.

I don't think bears are able to harness the power of lawyers.

He'd beg to differ!

I know that when My bro was using my 3870 for his volt mod guide here.. I just was so pee'd he flopped my card up (killed it) that I fell asleep from it.. :roll:

CDdude55 · Dec 23, 2009

Depends.

It does suck and i do get disappointed if a part dies, but on the other had, if i have the money, i can just purchase an even better part and be happy again.

demonbrawn · Dec 23, 2009

I get sad because i have little money for replacements....

Munki · Dec 23, 2009

Whether it gets sold or plum dies, I will always have a little hardware cemetery at the bottom of my heart.

laszlo · Dec 23, 2009

i never get sad only angry... i have to dig in the wallet again...

Icejon · Dec 23, 2009

I get sad when my video card fan dies and it makes screeching and scraping noises. I get pretty angry if it is a Diamond MM card, because those fans die fast.

Kantastic · Dec 23, 2009

Depends on how much I paid for it...

Anything under $100 is not worth crying over.

Sasqui · Dec 23, 2009

I usally get angy and put my hand in a blender, I'm typing with stumps right now after a MB died, LOL

I get angry, just my nature.

3volvedcombat · Dec 23, 2009

I get sad, because i go without a computer to game with. No job here so when my shit dies i either have to buy a cheap replacement or wait till I get some cash. Usually holidays. I went without a computer basicly for 2-4 weeks when my e5200 died after 5 months of strait 1.55volts and above. Now all my hardware is stock volted, running cool, and staying safe so i can be sure nothing will die.

I was mad at first because i had to take my computer out to the garage and clean and replace my dead e5200 with a Pent D 530 which is SLOW AS @&*#@(call of duty 5 was framing at 1440x900 on a GTX 260). Then i got sad after i realized what i had to live with. :eek:
