Good God! Having a fast computer feels GOOD!

[Dr. ///AMG]

So check this out: 2 weeks ago (over 2 weeks even), I have a guy who wants me to build him a computer. So I do. I build him the same computer specs as mine:

AMD XP2200+
512mb ram
MSI K7N2-L w/ dual channel DDR FSB 400, 8x AGP, NforceN2 etc...
80gb HD
yaddy yadda....

So anyway, I put it together in literrally 10 minutes, get it running, install OS, all set and ready to go. Then I check the clock speed, turns out I forgot to tinker w/ the bios, no problem, the computer is running smooth.

I goto the bios, I change the FSB speed... but I make the deadly mistake! I put it at 266 instead of 133...ohhh crap.

I reboot, CPU burn down!

So I give him my mobo and CPU (that were literally 3 days old) and send him on his way.

So now I Was stuck w/ nothing. Just my PIII 700 laptop, can't play games, no comfort.

So anyway, I RMA my CPU and finally after 2 weeks I get it back today. Then I go pop it into the board, I fire it up... NOTHING. The board won't POST!

Turns out the board is DOA. SOB!

So my sister is nice and kicks down some money, and I get a new board today, and now I'm back on my computer, thank god!

That's all :D

doc where do you buy your parts from

[Dr. ///AMG]

newegg.com awesome prices, fast ass shipping!

[scottschoe]

i buy my stuff from newegg too.....and have encountered the DOA problem for two mobo's. what's wrong with that company

[Dr. ///AMG]

well I burned the mobo myself :P what mobo do u have?

[scottschoe]

honestly i don't remember. it was one of the most expensive ones that supported an xp 1800+ processor. I used to be able to list off computer specs off the top of my head but I've built too many so I get confused.
