am I now officially a GEEK? asus excitement

freeboy · Jul 20, 2013

well, Im try to not get censored here...so I dropped the W@@dy word in the title
I just saw a video for asus formula that included a mos water block and I got some serious reaction... I do not think I have ever been so motivated to get a mb...

so am I officially a geek ??? and am I alone in looking at the z87 formula as a pretty cool oc board in my new water build?
thanks for understanding

geek, to me, is anyone overly enthusiastic about anything...gun geeks, car geeks, etc...

now, nerds...that's something else.

I look at it like a HOBBIE!

But tell that to my wife as she thinks its an evil obsession I have lol

Yeah, I keep staring at the Canada Post trucks going by wondering when they will drop my 2nd gtx480 by so I can play.... except they lost the dam thing... arg! Checking the mail every day, hoping it will be there.....

It's some thing you enjoy and it's doing no harm to others so who cares what others think anyways

Who doesn't like the smell of fresh computer parts in the morning?

freeboy · Jul 23, 2013

seriously, who do i need to impress? to me a geek is some one with an aptitude and genius for tech

johnspack · Jul 23, 2013

Hey, I've been flipping out over computer tech for 20 years! Ever since I decided for some weird reason to get a computer engineering degree. Back then, hell even now, not much to do with it in Canada, so I became a tech. Still remember installing my first cdrom drive under dos, trying to remember the sequence of drivers in config.sys and autoexec.bat. My first computer was an IBM pc with 256k ram and dual, yes, dual 5 1/4" floppy drives! Every new part I've gotten since, I've received with childish glee! Trust me, it never gets old.....
