I feel like half this guys questions that he makes threads about can be asked and researched on google(What my co workers at microsoft always say. GOOGLE IT). I also find his threads to last way longer then they should, either by people commenting about his nonscense or him asking the same question that was answered number of times before.

sure, I googled it. You must realize that GOOGLE cannot always be trusted. Which is why after googling I then come here and other forums to ask real people who actually have done it, their opinion. What is sad, is that so many people google something and believe the first thing they read. Then they vehemently insist they are right because "they read it on google". and then they tell other people to go google instead of helping them.

Smart people google AND ask real people for advice.

More like most people have common sense about these things, and dont just pick any random source to base their research off. Oh and if you know any degree about critical thinking, then you would know not to take everything as royalty, and attempt to figure things out yourself.

When spending over $2000, I prefer not to leave it up to trial and error. Thanks anyways.

My first system I built was that much and I was 14. All my money that I spent on it from saving over 2 years. Spent a month watching videos on youtube, and reading books on this stuff, and various other research. Didn't join a forum, till after I built the system.

To only watch youtube videos and read books you could have only spent $200 on that system. But you were only 14, so you couldn't be expected to know to take advice and spend your money wisely.

yeah, id like to see that. $200 for the system I built. Maybe $200 if I were to build it again now.

if you had read, he said he build a $2000 system when he was 14 and all he did on it was watch youtube and browse the internet and read books.

No you cannot read he said he read books and watched youtube to learn how to build it and what to buy.

My first system I built was that much and I was 14. All my money that I spent on it from saving over 2 years. Spent a month watching videos on youtube, and reading books on this stuff, and various other research. Didn't join a forum, till after I built the system.

See vamrvawerawe notice how he never says all he used it for was youtube.

You're right, my mistake. Stop being a child and arguing about stuff. Let other people speak for themselves if they are misunderstood.

Wait so you make a cocky post about how I need to read when you cannot and I am arguing and you are the poor misunderstood guy :laugh:
