R.i.p. : The Derelict

Mr_Headcrab · July 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">1999-2004</div> Yes, it ius true, my pride and joy, the Derelict, is no more. During the swealtering heat of yesterday, my heatsink gave out, reducing the Duron 733 to a funny smelling coaster. Due to problems beyond my control (my sister running up a $1000 cell phone bill) I cant get my needed repairs. Since im currently running on my backup HP Pavillion, i wont be around much, and all my projects are currently canceled. Sorry.

-Mr. Headcrab

May the Derelict rest in peace

Farewell, ye Derelect. Ye shall be missed.

[EDIT] How do you ring up a <i>$1000</i> telephone bill? Her boyfriend on Mars or something?

Epidemic · July 2004

Man, definitely need to talk to your sister..

GrayDuck · July 2004

My thoughts & prayers are with you Mr. Headcrab. Derelict is in a better place now...

Gliss · July 2004

I would've eaten someone who had a $1000 cell phone bill.

Mr_Headcrab · July 2004

bit of extra info in the bill, she was on from 3 pm till 7am daily for a month, and with her boyfriend living in a diffrent "high output" calling area (trenton) the bill wis ginormous.

and yes, it is one thousand dollars, i didnt mess up

Just smack her and say "can you hear me now?!?!"

Or give her a hug and say the same thing. both work.

It's plainly obvious from the rest of the sentence.

jumpingjoda · July 2004

I allso have no idea what a *Derelict* could be.

And tell your sister she should use voice over ip FFS!!1!
Or even video chat, for amazing *free* per minute....

Ack! like an arrow to my heart

The Derelict:

ABIT KT7-RAID
AMD DURON 733 oc'd to 1.001 ghz
384 mb pc100 ram
CoolerMaster Heatsink
SoundBlaster Live! Value
---wired into two amps for surround sound action
Viewsonic 15in CRT (had a 17 in compgear, but it enraged me and i beat it with a 9 iron)
and a <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tsa.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tsa.gif' /> spraypainted on the side of the case

I can salavge everything but Mobo. But, since no one makes a new mobo for a duron 733, im upgrading

Newerest · July 2004

Man, that is old. They make PC4000 RAM now.

jumpingjoda · July 2004

Hardware sucks nowdays, we need some serious bio_mechanic_hyper_regenerative_ultra_wire_super_power_kick_butt piece of technic.
I want me to say "this is not hardware, this is revelation!" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Nice case, I've got the same one. Its fun to watch at night (the leds in mine slowly change colors), kinda like a lava lamp.

*sigh* pc100 RAM is 100 MHz SDR, pc4000 is 250 MHz DDR. pc4000 is _not_ 40 times faster, allthough naming it like that, it's what they want you to think I suppose.

Rage7 · July 2004

Beat a monitor with a 9-iron, strangely that give me a good idea...

BadKarma · July 2004

Bah, dont get attached to your machines. Any of my stuff, at the first sign of weakness i'll put it down.

Virgnwh0r3 · July 2004

well lets see, $1000 is just a tad excessive, dont ya think? the bill didnt come close to $1,000, i should know. Headcrab is just a litte...beside himself because his precious computer died due to constant attention. I would like to think it would be easier to replace it if he had a job and didnt rely on the parentals for money. but whatever floats his boat.

I dont appricate his exaggeration <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

i wouldn't mind seeing our HP just blow up... It is the kind of POS that likes to freeze randomly no matter how many time you download drivers and BIOS's and reformatt it.
