R1CH is the fucking man.

I know he already has a TSL related "you're awesome thread" but I figure it won't be a bad thing if the blog section has another reminder on this subject.

He made this thread because he felt like being an anonymous hero to 30,000 people. Securing computers for us is akin to rescuing a kitten from a tree.

After I got my SC2 computer I had to download all my old stuff. I was looking for the chaos launcher and I stumbled across a thread where he made a plug for the chaos launcher that basically makes it more efficient to run.. wtf? I cannot find the thread atm but it exists.

He made this thread because damn it, saving kittens isn't enough for him, sometimes you gotta put gloves on and fucking deliver kittens from the womb of other kittens.

I did a search for "R1CH" in "title and content" guess what? 16 of the first 40 hits were threads where he posted TO HELP people with cpu issues. Some of the other 24 were appreciation threads in his honor, mention of his awsomeness for running TSL tech support, a few gaming threads (when he isn't crashing through windows from a smoldering building with 6 kittens in his arms he finds time to actually game once in awhile) an interview he did.. basically the guy only helps people.

There is no other individual on this website you can look up who so continuously and so thoroughly exists in a selfless 4th dimension where he "haunts" people with solid advice, amazing manners and consistent aid. R1CH is quite possibly the most kind and helpful person on TL.. literally.

If he had 17 billion dollars I'd feel real good. Cause I'd think that that sounds about right. Good people deserve good shit. And I think R1CH deserves tremendously amazing shit.

Personally, R1CH has FIXED my cpu somewhere in the area of 3 times. And not indirectly either. Short of him leaving the comforts of his tropical fortress located somewhere in the caymans where he builds AI robots and designs new technology like nano robots and terminators he helped in the most direct way possible. He never asked for anything. And he did it with 0 guff or groaning. Literally got asked, said "sure" and did it. Happened 2 more times SAME RESULT.

So a TOAST.. to the nicest, most selfless and helpful guy on TL. Heres to you R1CH.

You fucking rock.

It's ridiculous when R1CH takes over your computer to fix it. The stuff he's doing is so foreign to me I might as well be in the year 2175 where we control computers with our brains.

He priced out computer parts for Hot_Bid. Knowing it was good enough for R1CH, I simply purchased the same computer. If R1CH told me to set my computer on fire to fix it, I would do it without questioning it.

I also think R1CH could ruin my (or anyone's) life if he wanted. Like you call him a newby at BGH and then the next day the cops are battering down your door to find 180 gigs of child porn that wasn't there when you went to bed.

Lmao! That's why you conform to every one of R1CH's need.

Agreed Chill. R1CH is an exceptional breed of the TL.net community.

Any chance you could post the specs for Hot_Bid's and now your computer? I'm in the market for a new comp and quite frankly if RICH says it's good enough for you then it's good enough for me.

i bought it in canadian dollars. but i also added a $210 monitor, $5 cable, and $120 windows. It was somewhere around $1227 including all that, not including shipping, fees and taxes.

so id guess around $900 CAD? That would probably bump down to $750 or $800 USD.

LGA 775 is a platform that is at it's very end of life. If you're looking for a later upgrade path, you should either go for an AM3 platform or a intel socket 1366 platform.

It's not bad specs per se(I bought a computer with similar specs back in 2008), but it's not very future proof.

EDIT: forgot, hail rich! ^-^
