So, apparently I put together a parts list for a PC while on Ambien last night....

[jread]

Here is the parts list I emailed to myself from Newegg.... I have NO memory of this at all... thankfully I didn't buy anything. Will all of this stuff even work together? Maybe I should build this one and call it the "Ambien Machine" :lol:

:shocked:

I hear scary stories that are Ambien influenced. Glad I told my doc no when he offered it.

That looks almost exactly like what I'm planning to build, just trade the 260 for a 4890. Maybe you should start locking yourself in when you take that stuff, lol.

You put together a build that's about 100% better than most people that post proposed builds on GH



Ambien improves tech skills? Full story at 10

That's pretty much the standard i7-920 build around here, including the oversized power supply. Not surprised that you could pick that out while semi-comatose.

OK, that makes it even funnier!

There is a reason that they tell you to go straight to bed when you take Ambien. I guess that I thought I was fine still and somehow ended up on Newegg, put all this together, then emailed it to myself and made it to bed somehow (god knows what else I did last night during this time). I do remember in the email where the "message" is, there was just garbled text, like, ";lswijer8o23j2098j2;3iojrewj" so maybe I was trying to tell myself something in a yet-to-be-discovered language.

Of course, you could have done it AFTER you went to bed, you do know. Persons taking Ambien can have a rather "nice" side effect of the drug, i.e. sleepwalking, sleepdriving, sleepeating, and now apparently, sleep-computer-builds-at-Newegg and emailing.

🙂


As for the build, rather standard fare for i7 builds these days, like mine, an i7 920, Asus RII Gene, same memory, same hard drive, same optical drive, but I reused an HD4870 1GB video and reused a Corsair 620HX ps.
