Quotes from Minimat (the computer edition)

So let it be noted that during this search for Minimats computer building issues I had to edit a lot of redundant or inappropriate text out of the skype conversation, what remains is a glimpse at Minimats journey through building his new PC.

Be aware there is some obscene language which I have hidden under spoiler tags, and have done my best to format this excessive amount of screwing up and talking about it on skype, but prepare yourselves, this was quite the exercise of Minimats brain and his patience....

Quotes from Minimat, the computer edition

And thus the excitement for Minimat begins...

[2/2/2012 6:13:18 PM] matt hall: yay got my pc

But only 14 minutes pass before he strikes his first hurdle..

+ [Problem One] +

And as he finds the solution to problem one, problem two arises...

+ [Problem 2] +

He returns from the store and resumes work, but soon after there is another problem...

+ [Problem 3] +

And for 30 minutes frustration brews and he enlists the help of Fadey and deL

+ [Problem 4] +

A solution??

+ [-_-] +

Minimat continues to battle on, but has issues with installing the newly purchased Kingston Ram...

+ [Minimat the hero] +

And his clan mates jibes only seem to stress Minimat out more..

+ [Angry Minimat] +

At this point it is suggested that he pays someone else to set up his new PC as he may be doing more harm than good, but TA is informed this is not an option as he spent all his money on the computer..

+ [Confused Minimat] +

As he struggles on he finds out from TAChadmann about his forth coming game in that nights SEA Clan League..

+ [Enraged Minimat] +

And once again Fadey tries to help the poor soul...

+ [Questioning Minimat] +

He then turns to outside help in his hour of need...

+ [Minimat Seeks Help] +

Two hours go by and Minimat speaks not a single word until..

+ [The rage is reignited] +

Some small talk about his games begins and Minimat then disappears for the night, but the next day just brings more problems.

+ [Morning Minimat] +

Once again the TA lads suggest he may get a friend to help or pay to have everything installed, yet Minimat confides that he spent his money on booze and so he soldiers on alone..

+ [Minimat vs the GFX card] +

LOL at this point I feel pinder sums it up

[2/3/2012 2:16:25 PM] pinder: ... youre a retard :P

Minimat just agrees, which, is probably for the best.

+ [Minimat vs the HDD] +

Then Minimat has the brightest thought he has had for years..

+ [Minimats bright idea!] +

More suggestions of friends help and questioning of Minimats competence

+ [Minimat seeks help again] +

And finally he is making some real progress!

+ [Minimat makes progress!] +

Then shock and awe..

+ [Minimat and the knife] +

I am running out of things to say now..

+ [Minimat is stumped] +

And an hour later Minimat returns with the tools he needs..

[2/3/2012 3:19:46 PM] matt hall: Screwdriver acquired

But he still has plenty of questions that need answering

+ [Minimat raises some questions] +

[2/3/2012 4:04:10 PM] Fadey: you should of done a blog about pc building mini

Dont worry I did it for you..

+ [Minimat on making a PC building thread] +

[2/3/2012 4:04:24 PM] matt hall: i would have to docuent all my troubles

Oh I did that for you too..

+ [Minimat threatens tears] +

Then Maynarde, deL. Richard and Fadey all suggest he reads the manual.

+ [Minimat is musically talented] +

Its important to note that during the last few hours Minimat uploaded two videos of his computer to try and get help as to where to plug the cords into.

+ [Minimats videos] +

That is video number three.. o.O (did anyone watch the videos???)

+ [Uhhh] +

Now, deL makes some dangerous suggestions..

+ [Errrrrr] +

When a realization hits

+ [Back to the store!!] +

Cause the previous 4 were not enough??

+ [Oh god...] +

At this point Roots helps him, then is question about his help, then Minimat makes two more videos

+ [More videos?] +

AND THEN BY THE GRACE OF GOD

+ [So close!] +

but oh no..

+ [Yet so far..] +

Then he manages to turn it on..

+ [-_-] +

Then he turns to google for answers, yet still has pressing questions..

+ [...] +

before finally..

[2/3/2012 10:02:32 PM] matt hall: **** YESSSSS
[2/3/2012 10:02:34 PM] matt hall: IT WORKS
[2/3/2012 10:02:36 PM] matt hall: OMG
[2/3/2012 10:02:37 PM] matt hall: **** YES
