2012 really is year of the broken PC

I think you're right, my poor little Asus Eee PC is starting to die.

It's getting quite slow in general (virus scans, defrags, tried 'em all), sometimes it locks up randomly, if someone rates my post while I have the ticker open Chrome freezes up and the whole thing slows down to a crawl, and sometimes the screen blacks out or completely spazzes out for a split second and returns to normal when cursor hovering over objects.

Tiny thing only just had it's first birthday on Christmas day. :C

I think 2012 being the year of dead/broken computers is my fault.

Naw, it's just the Mayans were right, a time of great change will fall upon us before the year ends.

All our computers will break down. Armageddon of the PC.

If this happens, I will blame you.

I wonder if the bios is corrupted, recovering wouldn't fix my fan problem but at least it would boot

It's probably more my fault, seeing as I said this earlier.

Maybe the Mayans were right that the end of the world is this year. How will the world go on without any technology?

It's all our faults, we all lose.

What have we done?

Tried to open that (first reason why android market is better, you dont have to install fucking itunes)
iTunes then stated it wasn't available in the dutch store, and asked me to switch to the US store. I clicked ok, and then a second image popped up saying it wasn't available in the US market

Exactly, why even bother with a web store if it doesn't bloody work.

It gave me an option to switch to the US store so it's probably still available. I just don't care enough to do it. Also: my iTunes is outdated by alot because lets face it it's garbage.

Next brt's monitor is going to have a dead pixel.

I think it would be more dramatic if there would be NO dead pixels!

Christ the monitor market is devoid of good cheap 120hz monitors.
I found two samsung ones, S23A700D and S23A750D both of which have a slew of design decisions that make them about as appealing as the black death. Next is BenQ's XL2410T which is a hyper ultra gaymen super 3d 120hz monitor which, in addition to some rather lackluster reviews and some previous experiences with BenQ monitors makes that even less appealing than the samsung monitors.

After those the price nearly doubles for any higher models, I can't believe this market segment isn't flooded with attempts to offer low cost 120hz 3d monitors considering the recent and to some degree still ongoing 3d craze.

There's not a whole lot of companies that produce panels (Samsung being one of them), meaning there's not a whole lot of competition.

Sure, they make a couple of models that cannibalize the low-end market, but after that, yeah.

I think if I watercool, I'm going to end up doing something with this:

He's done a 9x120mm rad before, or quad 180, but this one is bigger I think. I trust TTL for watercooling stuff and he loved it. So I may run a 360 in the top, then the quad 180 for my video cards I suppose, almost passively with super low RPM fans.

[MC3craze]

Are your fans really loud enough for watercooling to be worth it?

Edited:

Assuming you're doing it for noise.

Temps, but mostly noise. I'd like to consolidate most of the heat into a single fan system. Hence a giant rad with like 600RPM fans.

Samsung's thingy just forced my computer to restart without even prompting me.

NOT. FUCKING. COOL.

the only reason I'm bothering with the damn thing is my phone won't update OTA

I like what TTL is doing with his channel.
