PC Chav.

[Lee H]

Nah, Chav PC isn't in the hardware, its the software....

They gotta have the latest set of Omegas for that extra .0000002% of performance, yet there's roughly half a gig of spyware and bots strolling around their machine...

"And it woz me dad 'oo put all vem porn dialin fings on it, innit?"

Oh, and desktop wallpaper of Blazin' Squad and a startup sound clip ripped from the chorus of 'Babycakes'.

and 1 of these installed as well

Now that would be funny - not only that but their case should have like cheesy flyers lay on top advertising the local "hard house" event with DJ whoever and also Bonkers 35 in the CD drive

Whoever has a desktop like that needs to share it on remote assitance so we can all have a laugh

So, what do we recon are the Chavlike things you might encounter, Hexus style?

Thread starter:

Hi. After six months of picking up pennies off the ground, volunteering my body for dodgy medical experiments, picking up litter aluminium cans to sell for 50p a kilo, and living on Tesco Value lard, I have saved up the grand total of £78.63 to spend on a new graphics card. Help me spend it wisely for maximum performance, because this is probably the last upgrade I'll be able to afford for my system for the next 3 years. Thanks.

I'd rather have a full-sized case for my main PC that allows me to fit everything in to be honest

And why is it that you need 6 optical drives and 20 sata drives in your pc, a shuttle can fit every piece of top spec kit in you'd like and with space to watercool it

Until you decide you need a better soundcard cos the Shuttle sound systems quite frankly don't cut it if you're recording music... then a TV card to watch some TV as you've got a 21" monitor and haven't room for a separate TV, then a second network card/WLAN card as you'd like to use your PC to share your internet connection with your laptop. Oops, out of PCI slots, and that's before we talk about SCSI/RAID cards.....

- Soundcard you can get decent external ones now.
- You can sell your 21" mon, and replace it with a TFT with a built-in tuner.
- Get a router to share your net connection.
- Some Shuttles have RAID controllers onboard.

...which leaves the PCI slot for your loverly SCSI card.....

a PC chav is anyone without a shuttle

There speaks a man without 3 water blocks and 1/2" id tubing

i now realise my forst post was extremely localised 'wise your bap' used a lot over here in n.ireland, and i didnt have much time to type the post either was in school and nearly got caught on hexus, but the thermaltake cases are very nice

[Dr. X]

Those foul Thermaltake Xaser cases and even worse the keyboards.

I'm with you, those Xasers are on the whole, foul.

However they're too expensive for our average chav, who will buy a pre modded case for £15 from ebuyer.

Just a shame about the amount of cash that that lot would cost... plus I've yet to see many routers under a lot that are as configurable as smoothwall or can run imapd/tomcat. Shuttles are very nice but they come at a price premium and a lack of expansion that I can't justify given the only tangible benefit is the machine being small

[mr_anderson187]

the thermaltake cases are NOT foul, at the end of the day its a matter of opinion, and i liek them

[Jimmy Little]

those 6 in 1 card readers that sit in a cd bay what you a right chav

*Ahem* Hard House isnt Chav, Spanish Hardcore is. My brother is queen chav and i have to put up with it 24/7 and its annoying as hell! Im as anti-chav as they come, and so are my mates, and we reguarly go to Promise & Goodgreef (House/Hard house clubs)

Ahh, I stand corrected.

goodgrief is a great night out and I too have been a few times.

[Galant]

Surely the heart of the chav is linked deeply with the heart of the fanboy?

"Burberry mate, it's got to be Burberry or else it's crap."

Or Adidas, or back in my day - Kappa.

The PC world may be more free from 'designer labels' on which purchasers base all their choices, but is it not quintessentially Chav to devote and base one's life on what is supposedly stylish, feeling inadequate if you do not have the 'name', and riddiculing others when they are the ones without?

[Stewart]

Actually, I suppose its quite Chavy to have your specs in your sig, like a Chav would wear a gold chain from Argos to show he is bling bling, we Hexites put our X800XT-PE's and Raptors in our sigs for the same reason (but most wouldn't admit it).
