LOL, OK Dad! But I didnt know you knew I got bare drives.


I honestly can't remember the last time I didn't get a bare drive, and I just assume any drive I buy or suggest to someone else will be OEM/bare.

Those Koreans ship fast, don't they. I couldn't believe how quickly mine arrived, delivered by an actual DHL driver (I didn't even know they existed in the US anymore).

Yes they do. Especially considering my ram and video cards are taking 9 days from California via UPS.

Probably Newegg. When you lose the warehouse lotto and get your shite out of California, UPS takes their sweet time. Order on a Monday, 7 calendar days minimum.

t I'm getting a capture card from a friend that'll take the place of the third one.

I have an AverMedia HD whatever it is called.

Cant use it because of these koreans. I could send it to you to try out.

That would be cool, if I like it I may buy it. I'm getting a cheap crappy one from my friend (or so he tells me).

Would I lose the ability to play at 120hz?

Sounds good. Do you still have my address? I'm going to try it out for a few days, and if I like it or use it enough I may buy it from you if you want to sell it

Yeah 2 shipments from Newegg and 1 from NCIX, all originated in same place near Los Angeles and all show 6 days out. 0 for 3 on the warehouse lotto.

NCIX is always slow. You should have signed up for shoprunner for your newegg purchases. I can get my parts in a day most times, but it's guaranteed two day.

Next time you buy something from newegg, sign up for shoprunners free 30 day trial, and eventually you'll get it for a year free

I think I'm going to unplug the blue led that attaches to the power button too

Eta: watching the lsu game on an led tv, these really suck compared to plasma

No, the big battlefield streamers play at 120hz while streaming with the live gamer HD. I don't know if the functionality is built in or if they use some sort of adapter though.
