For reals? I owe U sumthing? SERIOUSLY?

And.....what I am NEVER looking for......is DISINGENUOUS ANYTHING. Or reluctant favors.

And that, U can take to the Bank.

I know it's unlikely that it will beat an overclocked sandy bridge in the scenarios your setup implies.



I've had this very same problem far too many times when servicing my friends' store-bought computers.

Dells seem to be one of the worst offenders in the impropriety of it's offerings.

Mine....never once needed servicing. The Optiplex MTs are in a class by themselves. I speak from long, first hand experience.

The hardware you're trying to get the forum excited about.

Can't resurrect unalloyed passion in anyone stuck or shut down.

I doubt I will ever need a faster system.

And I am not into trying to glean an identiity via A THING. I am not that lame or insecure. Forget, that is a doomed endeavor to begin with.

I think these two quotes sum up the arrogance of this thread nicely :whiste:
Click to expand...

U think that???:whiste:

Earning and delineating truth ongoing, working to get clear and accurate in perspective.... are the polar opposites of arrogance. 180 degrees opposite.


Can't waste more time on any of this, I have work to do. But exaclty how low is the bottom of this barrel some here seem relegated to trying to scrape?

I get it's miles under the sea bed....but can U offer metrics?:p

Click to expand...

As is the point of all of life....the potential for sharing, thinking, LEARNING AND EARNING PERSPECTIVE. ...and the core privilege of communicating with yr fellow beings in a rich, collegial exchange.

It's ALL GOOD, BABE!!!!

I presume the system was very, VERY cheap... like under $200. That's OK!


...and quit using the big words to try and sound smart - work on basic, clear communication FIRST.

Sigh. How necrotic and sad. Not exactly the stuff of a luminous, joyful sensibility. Why you so unhappy? You deserve better from yourself.

I only hope you might reap close to the delight every minute in your system as I am right now on this one!!!

I mean it.

My God.....people here so insecure and externalized, they are like hostage females who can't go out without carrying a Chanel purse or wearing Luboutain shoes without feeling they do not exist.

You fear me.

If someone fearing you is what you are relegated to need....for you some actual GOAL.... to feel like somebody....well, I rest my case.

Healthy humans by default, work to earn real respect with anyone who matters. We always start with ourselves inside. U know, see if there any unhealthy capacitors on our boards inside, RUN CHKDSK, mem tests SMART diagnostics.... Like that.

There are no shortcuts, even with the fastest i7 Ultimate Xtreme chip and overclocking up da kazoo (metaphorically, of course); everything in life....is earned real deal.

Not sure....is this Godfather One or Two? I do have the 5 DVD box set.

Try to remember, Al Pacino ALSO DIED at the end of Scarface.():)

Sorry dude or dudette. You seem to be the one getting overly defensive about your opinions on these matters.

You asked someone to point out why your horribly written OP was horribly written. Then attacked the person who nicely points out where you broke down into non-sensical rambles and even gave you idea's on how to structure it.

You asked someone to point out how you overplaid. Then attacked the guy who shows you how you can get new, unused, not 4 year old hardware, for cheaper.

What you purchased was a well built workstation at a cost where most manufacturers would skimp. That thing is built like a tank. But parts wise, knowing the general failure rates of most equipment. The amount of different pieces that could go bad. The cost of replacement parts (as you noted the cost for a NIB being LF being $230, the out of ATX spec mobo, the out of ATX spec PSU, the cost of finding a replacement case if that gets damaged), and the likelihood of an issue make paying even performance competitive prices for the hardware not worth it.

But again you were looking at but even then I would almost rather get an OEM system at $400-500 then to be relying on the unknown variables like how and what the system had been used for the last 4 years and how much wear is on those parts internally.

I am known (also paid for) for my acuity in discerning what is THERE. (Along with my Salsa chops and otha stuff.:biggrin:)

Trust me, this puppy is as healthy as the day it was born: 3/24/11. (Not 4 years old.) Same deal with my two older Optis! I even feel guilty when I get lust for more speed, given the health of my last one.

I also downloaded Dell diagnostics ISO, burned it to a CD, booted the puppy with it and then ran the very, very long test not the short test.

Confirmed what I already got re the health of the system. The unknown, with focus and delving work....become KNOWN.

That the big Opti cases get uglier and uglier.....is moot. Saw a comment online about this. I liked it.

Can't waste more time in this convoluted, useless stuff....with blindly, narrowly invested humans with their windows crazy glued/epoxied, soldered shut.

Have fun, guys....it was interesting for as long as it was.

Be happy.
