Then it's no different than buying from a user. Just check for dead pixels and that the bleed and glow are acceptable to you.

Speaking of melting things...

I once booted up a machine after incorrectly hooking up a power cable to a floppy drive (awkward angle, couldn't see, ended up connecting the pins off by one, so that one male pin was unused and 1 female was hanging off the side).

Now THAT'S a smell. Burned/melted off all of the rubber from that connector up to the next juncture.

How did you actually fit the gcard into the slot without removing the plastic cap...?

Just spent 3 hours putting together a build for the first time, and the elation when all the fans started up without a hitch and bios splash screen showed up for the first time.

Now it's just the wiring mess that I have to clean up. Do wire/cable ties or zipties have problems being in the case around the heatsink or memory?


Just don't let it get caught in the fan other than that good cable management is easy with the new cases nowadays.

The bluing process appears to be secretive, in keeping with the murky shadows hiding the lords of TeamLiquid. But he's been very helpful, so it's a bluing deserved.

Now, a question - best use for my old 120GB Kingston HyperX SSD?
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

The day i got blue i crawled out of bed and squinted at screen first thing in a morning and was like "..wtf"

Getting off topic - but i still think there should be at least a pm and notification the blue'd people if not some kind of announcement too :D (like tl+ which pm's you and adds you to a list on the recent tl+ thread)

The blue is actually a sign that your monitor's health is failing. You should RMA it ASAP.
