Newbie is not a status, it's a state of mind.

I think people need to bear in mind that we are not all thicko's who dont know what a search button looks like, and think that some of us might have tried that already. Dont forget search engines/buttons are not perfect - unless you search for EXACTLY the right word/phrase/spelling then it can come up with nothing.

I agree 100%. I get so sick of reading a few of the members flames of the nooobs questions. Ignore them if you do not want to answer. We are supposed to be here to support this hobby and encourage new participants. This is not happening here. BE NICE!!!!

I am helpful to those that help themselves... only so many times should the question be asked...

How can i get the sound from the computer out of the speakers
will this (insert hardware) work?
It is cold where I live will that hurt my (insert Hardware)?

If the topic is covered in the FAQ section the new member has no excuse.

How do I get power to my (inverter/Laptop/DC-DC/AMP)
What should I do to fix the whine from my speakers
Will this (insert power solution) work for this (insert PC specs) ?

Get a clue and figure something out.... many threads cover each of these topics in detail. Some even have links to suppliers and referance material.

Part of the experiance is thinking about the solution and giving it a try.

One of my favorites:

I know a lot about PCs but nothing about car electronics.... what do I need to know?

or the other side:
I know a lot about cars but nothing about computers.... what do I need to know?

help yourself

lol attack of the noobs with less than 50 posts

**PatO** · 09-13-2005, 09:20 PM

Is it posts that count, or longevity? You are all noobs! j/k

If a noob posts junk, then there's no point in flaming... It all gets stored in the database and is searchable. Might as well post something helpful (ie: go to FAQ) and be done with it. Hopefully no one will post more in that thread and it will die a quiet death.

Truckin - is that Celery 300a oc'd to 450, perchance?

No on the celery... the board does not support the needed FSB options. I have a matching one on the shelf if you want it... it will run at 450.

Here is some recent examples:
