I had saved up a bunch of money and begged my dad to help me order a nice video card for our PC (can't remember which one sadly, probably like an early Nvidia or ATI Radeon). I even made sure that the motherboard had the right slot to accept the card. I finally convinced him to buy it for me, it arrives, and it turns out it was too long to fit. There was some piece of plastic attached to the opposite side of the video card slot on the motherboard (part of one of the RAM bays or something IIRC) so it wouldn't seat all the way in.  But I said gently caress that and after a bit of sloppy research determined I could probably cut a slot through the plastic wide enough for the videocard could fit through without damaging the RAM or whatever component it was next to. So I used a dremel to painstakingly do that and it worked  minutes later i was owning little bitches in q3building computers was pretty fun whe i was a kid

Mak0rz posted:I had my NES and SNES connected at the same time with their RF switches in serial. I was too afraid to turn them both on at once because I thought they would explode. Now I know nothing damaging would happen, but what would it have done? Would it have made the NES signal interlace with the SNES signal or just give you scrambled garbage? honestly not qualified to know but my guess would be probably a random-ish looking scramble of both with a bunch of weird discoloration to boot

The Goatfather posted:there was a little local computer shop near my school (this is where i bought deus ex pre-goty in a box) and one time they showed me an AGP video card someone had tried to return where they actually cut the slot bit of the card that inserts into the motherboard down to make it fit in an ISA slot Ah yeah I did the opposite... there was no way in hell I was putting knife to that card that poo poo cost like $250-300

Buttcoin purse posted:Or that one that said "HEY EVERYONE, I'M LOOKING AT PORNO!" really loud ah I almost mentioned that but I couldn't think of a good way to describe it. the voice sample is really distinct in my head though. iirc it spawned infinite windows of itself until it crashed your computer so that the audio would get stuck looping most of the time until you could scramble for a hard reset.

Chief McHeath posted:
this used to be really common for (lovely) computer monitors to come with speakers that attached to the side like that. a lot of times they would break off though and you'd find them just resting next to the monitor or leaning shoddily against the side of it. they still sounded better than the speakers built into flat screens though I guess. i'm more offended by that extremely stupid and superfluous looking keyboard

Now that the hardware can likely do incredible flight sim stuff there's seemingly little interest in them anymore. probably because they beg you to own a bunch of specialty peripherals for the full experience. i remember having a thrustmaster joystick:  ownzd

my dad had an ISDN line installed from his work when i was like 9 or 10. this was in the day when 28.8 dial-up was the most common speed in home (before 56k even). poo poo was sick. then he lost his job there and i got bumped back to 14.4 cause our neighborhood had ancient phone lines that couldn't deliver any faster.
