  1. This is pretty much how radioshack survived.
  2. http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/210/119/9b3.png
  3. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.aspx?sku=302273 + http://www.microcenter.com/product/433977/Z97-AR_LGA_1150_Intel_ATX_Motherboard Bundle price is $389
  4. For starters, I'd get a motherboard that works with an Intel processor... Then get a Intel CPU/Mobo combo from microcenter, the price cannot be beat. Finally, I'll sell you a r9 270x for cheaper than that 270.
  5. They are fairly easy to service, refurb might not be a bad deal.
  6. This was the only movie I saw in theaters twice, and I wish I could have seen it in real imax either of those times.
  7. Unless you KNOW that item has been sitting there for a while, then typically yeah. Small tools often get bought for 20-25% of what they get sold for. Larger items like that have smaller margins. If you're lucky and someone is unlucky, it was pawned and someone didn't pay back for it in time, then the pawn shop paid much less.
  8. Yes. Walk in there, don't dress like a hoodlum, don't wear a backpack, etc. You're already on their good side if you can do these things. Say how's it going, tell them what you're looking for, don't just go wandering around. Don't tie up their time, they have other shitballs about to walk in the door they don't want to deal with. They aren't going to haggle over a few bucks, that'll just annoy them. Don't even try it on something under $20. Say they have what you want, and it's $100. If $100 is a good price, be fair about it, and just pay. If you really do think it is marked up a bit high, never try to ask for more than 20% off. Also, never ask for less than 10%. Don't get too excited about what they show you or point out to you, then you look like a sucker who will pay full price. "This yaddayadda looks kind of worn here around the blahblah, do you offer any sort of guarantee on it?" They'll probably say no, most don't do anything much more than a 24 hour return, if that. Pawn shop employees are smart about their inventory. They know about the warranty of items, especially tool brands. They might mention it to you if they want to sell it. If they want to sell it, they'll work with you Just follow up their explanation with something like: "If you could do $80 for me, I'll take it right now, then I don't have to worry about spending more mailing it in for replacement later" Most importantly, whether you buy something or not, say thanks a lot and say you're going to check them out again sometime. Two things stick out in pawnshops. Good customers, and bad customers. Finally, if you become a repeat customer, don't go in there haggling all the time, that's the fast track to bad customer.
  9. That i7 will shit on the i5 for video editing. If you want to try a mac so bad, just hackintosh your machine. http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks-laptop-support/112495-mavericks-10-9-lenovo-y580.html http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280756-guide-the-all-in-one-guide-to-vanilla-os-x-including-chameleon-dsdt-for-beginners-updated-for-yosemite/
  10. #1 Question that can sum it down to a few choices... Budget?
  11. Eating healthy is expensive. Fining people on a low income for a fat kid makes a whole lotta sense.
  12. Didn't have the 1st episode impact that breaking bad did, but I am totally digging this show.
  13. Thought that article sounded familiar... http://www.vice.com/read/ovum-easy-please-v18n6
  14. Is that short for Willow? have you started the hormone replacement therapy yet?
  15. Install 16, and you'll occasionally see over 8gb use gaming. I'd agree 8gb is probably fine though, especially if you are using an SSD as well.
  16. I would never go with a combination modem/router.
  17. Overbudget, don't care, this build is titties. All from microcenter... Case: Corsair Carbide Series 300R $69.99 (59.99 after rebate) Mobo: ASUS Z97-AR $109.99 CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K $279.99 RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB $69.99 GPU: XFX Radeon R9 280X $269.99 ($244.99 after rebate) SSD: Crucial MX100 256gb $99.99 PSU: Corsair CX Series CX600M 600 Watt $74.99 ($64.99 after rebate) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO $36.99 ($29.99 after rebate) Subtotal $1,011.92 Tax $75.89 Grand Total $1,087.81 You could possibly pricematch or change out case to get it closer to $1000. Setup is very similar to mine (same cpu/mobo and comparable video card) runs everything maxed flawlessly. I'm on water overclocked to 4.6 on all cores but that fan should take you to 4.4 on all 4 smoothly edit: You may want to wait for AMD 3xx series GPUs. Just google "nvidia 970 4gb problems" and maybe avoid current gen nvidia ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  18. They just raised their modem rental rates. http://www.amazon.com/ARRIS-Motorola-SurfBoard-SB6141-DOCSIS/dp/B00AJHDZSI/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423164712&sr=1-2&keywords=cable+modem That'll pay off in less than a year and will support fastest speeds + future speeds.
  19. They don't. The 2007 Comcast vs. FCC kind of made that illegal. and then courts redacted that in 2010 but was shortly replaced with the FCC's 2010 Open Internet Rules making it illegal again but fuck it the 2007 case was better
