It's coming to ten years on this forum...

Man I still remember his hard-on for Dothans and ridiculing anyone for not getting them :p

Annoyingly he was right! ;)

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
I remember my Celeron 700 overclocked to 1ghz with a 60mm delta; noisey... wondered why my uni housemates always complained.

I also remember TFC in the UK ladders with [IOU], CS 0.9 and 56K dialup modems with a 200 quid phone bill :-(

I think I must have joined sometime around '99 here...
 
I signed up in december 2005, only did so after buying a load of parts from the shop. Lurked for a few weeks then decided to sign up. Great wee community, im mainly a hardware forum browser as i still have a great interest in pc technology. Ive really enjoyed my time on here, met some really good people who i game with regularly, theres always a good sharing of knowledge, people willing to help if you have a problem.
 
I've just past 13 years! I originally joined before the nuke when I was 16, now I'm 30! Crazy to think about really!

Getting busted with my Dad walking in and trying to remove the pop-ups when Ad-blockers never existed. Some even used to move and multiply like germs!


Kids these days... They duno how lucky and easy they have it. :D

Youngsters, I remember when this was all Black and Red, with guns a plenty and you weren't a real man unless you'd overclocked a Celeron to twice it's rated speed or an Athlon to 50%+ of it's speed.
When men were men, cases were real cases, and Delta Screamer case fans would take an unwary system builders finger off.
Many are the veterans who are still missing the tip of a finger and regale their grand kids with tales of the vampire cases around a (very briefly) glowing Thunderbird core!


*waves stick again*

Oh yeah and get orf my lawn!

Slightly more seriously, it's scary when you realise how much time you've been on something like these forums (I'm at about 16 years now I think!).
But the vampire cases was true - you rarely see them know, but right up till the 00's it was common to get cases where they had ragged edges on the pressed metal. Elastoplast was a must in your PC tool kit.

Thinks back to cooler-case tornado sat under desk, like having a noisy air-conditioning unit at my feet, I don't miss the noise, or 60mm Delta parked on top of my cpu HS.

I had a shock the other night when it registered that the noisiest part of my set up is now my external drives.
A supposedly quiet external drive is louder than the 7 assorted fans in my system, how things have changed :)
