[CONTEST] Boost My PC - Part 3

[and_who]

I studied hard to get an engineering degree that didn't lead me anywhere (and from our world crass university too). No point in studying unless you want to work for the gahmen. What you need are marketing skills so that you can earn in the private sector.

But I digress...

Anyway, I have parts to assemble a working Pentium 4 system...

not enough, you need to pretend to be some underprivileged kid with a sympathetic back story. mother father family all poor eat grass and you as the innocent helpless kid in between.

then out of nowhere the asus people swoop in with free parts (which are totally disproportionate to what the kid needs) (really? 14 yr old kid and mei mei need 4770k and high end motherboard??? going to overclock is it?)

actually abit like our gahmen - just dont work hard laze around the whole day and earn minimum wage, then you pay minimal or no taxes, and get shitloads of gahmen subsidies to relax.

but I digress....

I agree too, the way that they're marketing their brand's presence and products through this Boost PC shenanigan is way too ridiculous and doesnt make any sense at all, whichever way you look at it.

Please 14 years ago using Nokia 8210 that kind of phone, no camera one leh. I also want to see if have also!

If want to help these kids donate charity lah. Their family all so poor then suddenly one member got a supercomputer while the others can't even afford to get a proper house door(see first episode) or put food in a table. I really want to see what effect the free pc will have on the first kid's life. At age 14 already say build computer as a hobby- at age 14 I didn't even have time to do all my homework cos there was so much.

I'm just jealous lah. But objectively the choice of components was total bs. If need a proper computer a 4670k or even non oc part can already. Go ngiam ngiam give high end 4770k and z87 deluxe (face palm)

The amount of sour grapes in this threads makes for interesting wine.

 

[GeForce]

jealousy at best hahaha

 

[and_who]

Not wine, but probably vinegar. Since you are here commenting, possible to assume you would like and have no objections to partake of some jealousy/sour grapes/wine?

Personally I'm not jealous at the components cos mine are higher end. (Edit - I'm jealous that these people get their hands on high end stuff without even working for it)

I'm also wondering about the logic of dumping so much high end stuff on young kids for free while at the same time pricing margins on asus hardware being so high.

Asus hardware sells itself well enough without having to resort to publicity stunts which cost a huge amount and do not accomplish much in particular.

Could the amount that went into the 2 high end pcs have gone into building 4 basic pc for a underprivileged orphans home for example? Food (or wine Phelan if you prefer) for your thoughts

peeeeekture leh

Nothing to wah wah wah about la.. We were young and were each others' first bf/gf.. notice I didn't use the word 'first love'..


She lived somewhere near Loyang and I was in somewhere in Jurong.. so it didn't work out very well.. I probably still got the neoprint or photocard thingy of us with our sheepish teenage smile somewhere in this memory box I keep.. but I can't post it without her consent


I'm so glad to see her doing well

I have higher end parts too so if I may say a few words.. It IS really a publicity stunt.. but fortunate or unfortunate.. those were 2 kids who are in worse position than us who can afford our own high end rig.. By your logic, the poor should only be given the bare minimum to survive..

Why can't we think that hey those were 2 kids in sh!ttier financial positions.. can we for once tend to their wants instead of just their needs? It doesn't come out of our pockets anyway.. so why be so bitter about us working so hard and rushing so much in this rat race to afford high end rigs while poorer kids have it for free? They got the rigs as a gift, they didn't scam anyone or the country for benefits/welfare..

I agree with this saying that it is not your fault to be born poor, but it is your responsibility to make sure you don't die poor. They're young, it was a gift.. give them a break

lols whats your current specs?

 

[and_who]

I agree to some extent with what you spoke about, but the point is rather than doing a publicity stunt of high end components for a few people who don't really need such high end, why not spend the money towards more basic capability rigs for orphanages etc? Surely there are enough around who need it. Am at the "rat race" now struggling to survive, so I can actually pay for my stuff, so back to this thread later tonight

 

[summersky1986]

lols whats your current specs?

Currently using a gaming laptop leh (Asus G73JH).. I don't know about Asus customer service or how chui is it (everyone's saying chui lulz)


But in 3+ years the laptop never gave me as much as a hiccup of problem.. Okay the battery is dead but it's still relatively fast.. and I still can play FF14 on max with it.. gonna retire the lappy soon and pass it to my mom to upgrade her netbook


I posted in the other thread (sorry to digress)
