So Annoyed!

Okay I get it, you have to have rules to prevent certain things from happening, but gosh darnit these rules sometimes really hurt someone like myself who doesn't require said rules! What am I talking about? Well if you're a newbie here and like to chat you're in for a surprise! Under level 10, you're not allowed to post 100 messages in one single thread. O_o

It gets better. If you're level 25 and under you may not and will not have more than 20 posts in an hour, now someone like myself that is a real chatterbox this is completely and utterly fubar'd! I know it's to prevent "flooding" but really GS, I mean you're more strict than a pe'od foster parent with little things like posting in the wrong thread etc. So why can't you find a better way to restrict new users without handcuffing the good members like mysefl! Grrr I guess there's no point complaining cause my woes aren't going to change GS policy, but at least you've now been officially warned by a self-proclaimed chat-oholic! lol

My Husband Bought Me A New Rig!

OMG! I am so excited, he wasn't here for our anniversary and felt bad and today he came home with this;

Intel Core i7 975 EE Core 2 Quad 3.33GHz
eVGA X58 Klassified 3 Way SLI Triple-Channel DDR3 (I know it's with a "C" but it wouldn't post????)
Two Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 1GB GDDR 5
16GB OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 /1333MHz Reaper HPC Edition DC CL9 Edition
Seagate Cheetah 300GB 15000RPM 16MB
Seagate Barracuda 2TB LP 5900.12 SATA 32MB
PC Power & Cooling 1200watt CrossFire Active PFC
Custom Swiftech Liquid Cooling System

He he got really good deals on the parts so the price wasn't as high as I thought it would have been. We already Overclocked her at 4.6GHz!!!!! STABLE!!!! Okay....breath Giang. lol We're going to run Prime95 tonight to make sure but so far so good! Some women get diamonds, I get PC parts. So funny, I walked into the RC and noticed a convo about PC's thatI had missed and I was jokingly upset, 5 minutes later my Hubby walks in with this! He also told me he's going to get a 3rd GFX card so we can to Triple CrossFire!!!! Yay!

I can't wait to bench baby! hehe I know big geek eh? Anyhoo, going to hit the forum in a bit, just had to share that. THANK YOU BABU!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!

EDIT: Okay here's some pics...

The x58 board with the water block, damn it's sexy! http://img203.imageshack.us/i/ytutuytutu.jpg/

Crossfire! Oh yeah. lol http://img408.imageshack.us/i/dgdfgdfgdf.jpg/

The water cooling system up and runing. http://img194.imageshack.us/i/yrtytryr.jpg/

Here's the cpu-z image of are best OC, not stable however. http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/7456/gdgdfgdfg.jpg

EDIT: Ran Prime95 all night with zero errors! We can actually push her to 5.2GHz but it was 50/50 to even boot, so we will keep it at 4.6GHz for now until we decide to go dry ice or liquid nitrogen. lol

Signing Off.......For Tonight! lol

Did I scare anyone there? Just saying good night, I left a few froums under haste because of the posting limit. Grrr In-any-event figured I'd blog a quick nighty-night to all my friends here at GS, thanks yet again for being such awesome people and making this gal feel at home. This is truly one of/if not THE best communities I've ever had the pleasure of being a part of.

Sincerely,

Giang

Level 4 Baby!

It seems the system was wacked out the last few days cause I wasn't leveling up, but problem solved! I am nowa level 4! Woot! lol I know, not a big deal, but like a RPG I love the feeling you get when you see the number change. hehe

My hubby joined and posted with me last night, kind of funny actually, sitting almost next too each other posting on the same forum! lol Too funny. But it's great, at least I have someone watching my back so to speak. I'm so in need of level 10! I CAN'T TAKE THIS POSTING RESTRICTION! lol Almost halfway there now.

About Me

Hey all, My name is Giang I'm 25 and I'm a married mother of two and work part time as a Background Performer. I'm a hardcore gamer and OCer. My hubby and I actually met through gaming! I was having a big time frag session one night and I was pwning this guy in UT. He was so pissed and was convinced I was cheating so we exchanged MSN's so I could prove it and we we were married 6 months later! lol If there's anything you'd like to know about me just ask, I'm friendly and love meeting new people. Well I look forward to making friends here on gamespot and happy fragging!
