Congratulations, Saddam. This is a defining moment in your life. You will talk about this on the internet for days to come. You are one of the very few, one of the elite.

You jeer, but most people have never built a computer, will never build one, and would have absolutely no idea how to go about building one.  Online communities simply aren't a representative sample of the population.  If they were, then Rush would be the biggest band in the world, Ron Paul would be the president, major religions would have no more influence or notability than any nut claiming to talk to God, and Internet Explorer would have been laughed out of existence a long time ago.  PC gamers/builders/enthusiasts are a very vocal minority, but a minority nevertheless.

And that's not a bad thing!  Really, a lot of you guys just seem to take your skills and expertise on the subject for granted, and downplay it as basic common knowledge that everyone ought to have.  You're doing yourselves a real disservice there.  You've found something that you're good at, so take pride in it.  Don't write it off as if it's nothing.  Treasure our different strengths and weaknesses, and we will be one step closer to world peace.

Congrats, Saddam.
Let's hope that was the hard part.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Anyone can learn to build a PC, just like anyone can learn to drive a car. Let's face it, the average person regardless of prior experience is going to manage to build a computer faster than you.

Have you downloaded all the appropriate drivers for your PC yet, Saddamnit?


edit: You might want to consider deleting System 32. Your computer will run faster without it.

Sadman's quest has inspired to take up my own journey. I ordered everything Friday for a new system build. Only a mid range system, since I don't actually have a need for another workstation.

By next weekend, I will show everyone how to not Sadman.

Saddam, did you get an OS installed yet, or is that next month's project?

Yes, it was a bit overly mean.

Did this sound witty and clever to you in your head?  Seriously, I'm beginning to think that you are the markjo of insults.

And yes, I did.

No, in my first post I called him an idiot; in my next, I likened him to markjo.  There is a difference!

No really, my post about being one of the elite was serious and you berated me. Your sarcasm detector is seriously malfunctioning.

My working theory is that he's making this whole thing up. He didn't build a computer. He's been sitting on his butt playing AssCreed all day, and is making things up on the internet. This whole "I'm mad about these posts" thing is just to make it look more genuine.

Has anyone seen a picture of Saddam next to his newly built PC?  :-\

I think some kind of zetetic evidence is required at this point.
