Updates and wishes!

Hello all,



Before anything i would like to wish everyone a HAPPY RAYA and while im at it, HAPPY RAMADHAN too ^^



so moving on, alot of work lately in the office, and at the same time, ive been doing fixes and trades here and there. So far several laptops were let go, and the usual fixes (mostly people wanted their computer formated :S ) There was this on case where the power board for the Mobo fried, a quick replacement did the job that costs around 70-100. Shop advice? Change the Mobo for 300! heuahuehauhea



My desktop got hit by lightning, and fried my PSU (a 550W GTR) so decided to buy a new replacement for it... while waiting, i had a 450w sphare but i could not fit my 5770 ATI Radeon... checked the website to find out the Min Req. and Im VERY sure they quoted a COOLER MASTER 500W PSU! so i got one cheap (in burnei a 550W would probably cost me 150$ - kinda feel like a rip off!) so ... as you might have guessed! it didnt work and now im using my stock GPU...256 MB memory .... Sad! well heres some pics

My A4 tech Headset... needed more Juice ^^

I was looking around for a cheap headset that i could use for games, i didnt want to buy those heavily priced Razer or Siberia headsets with Sound cards built it cuz its just too freaking expensive! Then i found an A4 tech Headset, looks cool, and its cheap (say around 25$) but when i tested it, the sound quality and volume was...sad and it was not usable... I didnt have a sound card on my desktop which was one of the reason i think... My bad. Compared to those high end headsets, mine was puny :p however, i made full use of what i have.

Looked around and found a USB sound card thingy, so put it together with the headset, and it gave off pretty good sounds and now my Headset is now USABLE again! Its a pretty good alternative to heavy duty expensive headsets (eg. Razer or Steelseries headsets). If you're not fussy that is :p (call me cheap call me lame, but dont forget, also call me satisfied) Here are some pix ^^

Been away for so Long :p Lots of things happened!

Hello,

Things are slow rite now but lots happened since my last update, just to let u know, my Behemoth is not working well - the graphic card i put in didnt last long, so now im hunting for a replacement gpu zzzz.

So many things to update, but i guess ill start with whats been going on in DIGI LIFE (before i go to the Juicy deals and gadgets LOL!~) - bz at work (yea nothing new there) but ive been playing Dota frequently at Gadong. Less Garena, i think i prefer playing with friends at Lan nite. Rite now ive got 3 to 4 lan Groups OMFG!

1) Old School Mates

2) Office mate and his friends

3) The TFF team

4) A 1 time thing with a colleague and his friends who were also my neighbourhood aquaintences (played Killing Floor)

Since my Behemoth failed me (again ...) i had to find other alternatives to game, bought a Gateway 14inch laptop... was not the same, so left it with my brother to use for work. Ttowards the end of the Year, 27th November 2009 The TFF team had their Lan Parties (details at http://www.team.fragfactory.net/ ) and i needed a computer, so i Bought myself a KICK ASS!!! TFF PACKAGE RIG! (ill post details about it if u want to purchase one). Hueahuhaeuhae The Rig was awesome LOL!~

We gamed 2 days staright (well i had 4 hrs sleep that weekend :p ) so many games so little time! heauhuaeh i only had time to play :

• Left 4 Dead 2
• Dota
• Killing Floor
• Hidden
• Team Fotress 2

There were lots of other games to play :P but u cant expect a guy like me to play em all. Bah tahts abt it, wanted to tell u abt the LAN PARTY. ill update you with the TFF PACKAGED RIG in my nxt update. Do keep up the support ^^ here are some pix...

A Pic i took during the Lan Party - i had enuf room to take 1 pic of 1 table, that nite we had like 8 full tables playing :p

This is My TFF Rig heauhuaeh specs are good, but ill post it later on ^^

Its ALIVE! its ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dell stopped working a few weeks back, and ive tried fixing it and none of the basic fixes work. tried the HDD, Ram, re-seating, Mobo battery, power cable etc. then narrowed it down to 2 possible components.... Mobo and the GPU... each would cost me me at least $200 (if im luckY)

i tried with the cheaper fix (GPU) and when the replacement GPU arrived in the mail (THX FedEx!! :D ) made the change and BOOM! it worked.... at first it showed some errors, but i just needed to initialize the settings and im off. heuahueahueahuhea I feel Alive again, now i want to go play games! here's the a pic of the GPU

Reminding you all ^^

Hello, ive been fixing laptops and stuff and while waiting i tot it would be nice to take a Step Back and look around for other things thats been happening in my Life.

Whats in Dg-cribb's life so far?

Firstly, today i went blogging fer a bit at anakbrunei.org, say a tag message about Smarter's 2nd Autism Awareness DAY in UBD!! i remembered when Malai of Smarter went to our MPP class and gave us a talk on governance, he redirected my life direction abit heahuehauhea so now i think i would play my part as a Bruneian to inform you all that the Autism Wareness day is going to be on 2nd April.

Ministry of Health is Celebrating WORLD HEALTH DAY on the 7th April 2009! juz feeind u guys about it in general, the Theme is "Save Lives. Make Hospitals Safe For Emergencies" Need More info.? Google it ^^

I have 1 DDR2 RAMs for sale, going for $32 a piece. Just click on the "Fore Sale" button ontop and it will list out the stuff i have left, im expecting new stock soon, and maybe Dual Core Laptops in May.

Lately ive also been upgrading Laptops, "Upping" the Ram, Processor and Hardrive, so if u feel like upgrading ur Laptop instead of buying a new one, give me a try.

Thats about if for now, Hope ur having a nice day ^^ take care have fun.

Behold! my MOUSE PAD!

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, i know you are at Awe as you feast yer eyes on the greatness of my MOUSE PAD!... well that aside YES bloody Hell its a BOOK! *cries*, its my multimedia book that i had when i was studying in college... my mouse didnt detect the table very well, and the back of my book did the trick, surprisingly it feels AWESOME! and ive used it ever since heuahueaheua guess my teachers were rite, Books are not useless =) u juz have to know how to use it.

And if u flip back, u can see the title of the Book!! heuahuheauhaeuheauheah
