Well, Having waited 2 weeks for the Corsair Rep to get back to me about the dead LEDs on my REPLACEMENT K70(B) and having received NO response whatsoever despite him logging on more than 2 or 3 times since i messaged him. I am done buying their shit and went ahead and purchased a Ducky DK-9008 Shine 3 from OCuK.

I have no problems buying their PSUs because 99% of the time they are made by someone else and not by Corsair themselves and are therefore rebadged units.

Unfortunately im not too sure if i will keep my stance when it comes to their cases as i do really want a Carbide Air 540 and i really shouldnt lump the departments together but if this is the kind of support that i can expect from Corsair, let alone a Corsair Rep who is supposed to be out there among the community and trying to go the extra mile to keep their customers with smiles on their faces then I will have to think twice about buying their products... Not that theres anything that can go wrong with a PC case, unless it was designed badly or badly constructed.

Though the AX1200i i received back from them was a very very nice touch.

Hopefully i'll have the new keyboard tomorrow so i can get this K70 RMA'd for the second time in 6 months

Well, Ive just got a £70-£80 paper weight.

While i was at work yesterday my mum decided to clean my room, Ive lost BOTH VESA mounting brackets for my dual monitor desk stand and she has the audacity to look me in the eye and say "I didn't touch it..." when she pretty much emptied the ENTIRE contents of my room like im moving out.

Ive got no choice but to write an email to the place i bought it from and find out if it would be possible just to buy the VESA mounts, Its probably gonna cost me another £20-30


This is why i loathe living with parents. Especially one that turns into a Roomba bot when she doesnt have work for more than 3 days and she will constantly tidy shit up then tidy up the shame shit shes just tidied up after shes tidied up the previous day because she has nothing to do.


Maaaaaaaaaaaaan If only i could afford to move out. I found a place down the road from me for £80p/w but its in a shittier part of town ontop of a fish&chip shop. Id probably get broken into within the first week. but parents stopped me going because its dangerous and zero quality of life. Id have to barricade my door every night incase some people try to break in

I came home one day a few years back, and was no longer in my room. The entire contents of my room had been moved to another, smaller room. A year later they did it again. Then another year later they did it again, only this time I got a phonecall from my mum saying "COME HOME I GOT YOUR BED STUCK IN THE DOOR!". So I had to come home from work and dismantle the damn thing, and then involuntarily move all my shit to another room.
Damn parents. However I am moving out soon, except my parents actually don't want to because they make money off of my living with them

Sounds like you have to barricade your mom out of your room

I am fucking bitter. Though not as bitter when my 7 or 8 year old GW account got hacked, cleaned out and NCsoft support refusing to even restore even 1 single item or give me a small percentage of the value of all the things i had on my account that got stolen just to make sure I didnt have to waste my life grinding another 7 or 8 years again to get back what I lost.

the problem is she doesnt touch my stuff when im at home - she only does it when im out. Ive threatened to put a lock on my room in the past but they'd countered that one with threatening to kick me out of the house.....


Trust me... In this house, With Asian parents - particularly Chinese parents, theres no such thing as a democracy.

::EDIT::

At least she didnt touch my alcohol. If she threw all that out I would have burnt the house down.

She calls me an alcoholic but I tend to only have some rum, whisky or vodka every so often and only to relax after a long week.

She used to go apeshit about me having whisky in my room.

So... Im an alcoholic with a small personal stash in my room yet, theyve never seen me drunk as a skunk walking around the house with my boxers over my head and throwing up all over myself.

(chinese parents for you - always over exaggerating)

Actually that sounds exactly like democracy to me. Maybe I just have a bitter jaded view of democracy.

you have to throw down and break the shackles of oppression brother! rebel and stick it to the man! get drunk and set fire to the house. Start a revolution. Dont fear the black flag of disownage, its actually spells freedom upsidedown


::EDIT::

Heh. Mum came into the room so I asked her about the VESA mounts again - She says she cant remember where she put them....

fucking awesome.

 

[d1nky]

Lol reminds me of when I lived at my mums! She found my air rifle one day and went nuts, she shouldn't be looking through my shit tho!

Now I live with my missus and we go halves which is still expensive. And my shit still gets messed with Lol apart from my pc, she takes pictures of her touching it and sends them to me to wind me up!

A mouse up the arse aint funny...

I was thinking of throwing you £10 for some plat, that way you make some money back. Works out to be 682 plat, but we can settle on 680 as it will cost me 340,000 creds to trade that much, which is the exact amount of creds I have now.

Yup, my GF takes pictures of herself occasionally logging on to my game accounts, ruining my kill/death ratios on Interstellar Marines, because that's the only game she knows how to open and run on Steam she looks down upon me when I play games in front of her though, but isn't vocally judgemental about my recreational choice

Didnt Richard Gere once shove a hamster up his arse?

It still makes me wet myself everytime I listen to it. Even moreso when the radio presenter cripples himself with laughter.

Hey man, Rcoon can stream the whole thing on twitch and we will make some serious monies - you'll be famous.

On a side note... cant decide if i should mount the second monitor on the left or right side....

Psychologically speaking, left (assuming you're right handed).
Where possible, main gaming monitor should be the same side as the mouse, with secondary monitor on the opposite side.

Meh, ive always placed the second monitor to my right but we shall try left this time

Because of the weird shaping of my desk, I can only fit my second monitor on the right hand side. I don't see any problems with it, but sometimes it distracts me from my main monitor What is the problem "psychologically speaking" with this setup?

 

[RCoon]

What is the problem "psychologically speaking" with this setup?

Contrary to the grid effect of photos (each photos is split into 3 thirds vertically and horizontally, most if not all professional photos will have a central point overlapping on of these third overlays) and the typical style to which we read from left to right, computer users operate the mouse better when the monitor is on the same side. The monitor can be central to the desk by all means, but the mere act of putting a monitor to the right (essentially closer to the mouse), ruins the little subconscious alignment. There's some strange study I read about it somewhere on the internets. I have my 27" monitor dead in the centre of my desk, and my secondary completely off the desk because it's too small, and farther to the left.
