The tan squares on both sides are surface mount capacitors.

I see how the theory is on it, could be off but here is my best guesstimate: They are using 12 capacitors, however only using -110V. So to get to that voltage they are charging 2 capacitors in parallel, so 5V each. Once they are charged those two disconnect from the USB VCC+/VCC- power and sets...

Breaking News: The exo-skeletons have become sentient and are currently breeding with the local populace. Hundreds have died and no cigarettes can be located in the vicinity.

It doesn't matter, the whole point is that it may be an imaginary currency to the uninformed, it can produce real world results. It's like the persona that all IT techs are hackers because they seen it in some shitty movie. Misinformed, misunderstood minded people either can't or won't grasp the...

And I know there are plenty of spoiled rich kids who have nothing better to do than blow their parents to get a new car. No different, except I didn't have to play cards to get what I wanted. It's called a personal experience, so with that being said, in MY EXPERIENCE I have been able to...

Unfortunatly no, the wife wouldn't let me. Ass.

I do like the fact that my "pretend money" was able to provide me with 2 R9-290x's, another R9-290, 1200 watt PS, etc.. Or am I pretending that they are actually there?

Exactly. If it weren't for my computer mining, I would still be using 2 6970's in X-fire and a i3-2120. Mining has been a boon for me as I can constantly upgrade my hardware and still put money in the bank. Now I am sitting on a damn near new system with an i7-3770k and 2 brand new R9-290x...

Been shot out of nowhere a few times, since then there is no remorse. And I don't really care either if you are a fresh spawn or not, someone is getting shot. This game is a dog eat dog world, if your a friend to someone, plan on an axe to the forehead or a bullet to the temple, because when it...

I think they are definitely on the right track to better standing with their customers through their customer service department. Now that I got an explanation of how the hell everything got confused on my part, but even after it was explained they are still sending the promo item. I would have...

Hell yea! Sorry for all you NE haters, but I have to stay loyal to them. Just got an email from the egg that they are sending out one at no cost. A lot of years been ordering hardware/software from them and this was my only complaint and they made up for it. So thanks to Adrian, mk6 and...

I hate mcdonalds. No soup for you! Wish I knew it was on sale for $20 then hell yea I would have been all over it.

I admit I was an ass and hell I would apologize in person if need be, that wouldn't bother me one bit. But the pissed part is self explanatory, you can be pissed at a situation without being pissed at a person who has not wronged you. Only exception is if its the government, then you have a...

I sent MK6 a pm about it, will keep you all informed what transpires, but hoping for the best. FYI the promo must be back, its listed again with the card. :mad:

Nope, wasn't on the invoice.
