A quickie…

I managed to ‘obtain’ (ahem) some lovely, brand new top-of-the-range pc bits…almost everything, in fact, to build a PC that would be worth some £3K when completed.

However, I had to invest in the final bits of the job – processor, motherboard and case. I bought the case and processor brand new but went on Ebay for the motherboard. Thought I’d save even more money.

It arrived quickly. I was chuffed as a badger’s left testical and got straight to work.

Yup. You guessed it. After spending ages building my dream PC I discover I’ve been shafted. The motherboard is an utter piece of non-working shite and I’m now in a bitter battle with the owner about getting my money back.

Fuckity.

I'd say the karma part
is that you skimped on the very piece of hardware for which you should have paid top-dollar. Fucked motherboard = Fucked PC.

Mr C

I know - I am an olympic class twat.

been ping-ponging sarky emails with the seller all day but I think....THINK...that I might be getting my money back - which I will then promptly spunk on a BRAND NEW mobo - at least then I will know that the only problem with the install is the spackwit doing the installing...

Actually, I think you'll find it's
'testis', not 'teste'.
