Due to being attacked by a group of chavs last night, my laptop, which was on my back no longer has a working screen. Knowing full well this won't be covered by the warrenty, i'm going to move the components into a whitebox shell if possible. I need a hand finding a shell. Ideally i'd like a 15.4" screen, but right now i'd settle to anything that can take the following : DDR2 SATA 2.5" HDD Intel Celeron 1.4 with a Dothan core Ability to add a wifi card Any ideas would be appreciated - Andy
do you not have portable insurance, you might find its covered under your house insurance. Depends wether you/the house owner ticked that box when signing up for it.
In 15", I really like the ASUS S96/Z96 chassis. They take SO-DIMM DDR2, at least one model takes SATA hard drives, and they've got onboard mini-PCI-express, which will fit wireless. (I know they'll take one based on the Intel 2200 B/G chip). They've even got the antenna built in.
I tried looking for one the other day and they are really really hard to find in the UK. I spotted the odd one for sale in the US, but it was old, nothing in the EU though.
is a "whitebox" a laptop barebone? if so, check out this forum: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=1758047
Well i've been speaking to my old man, and he's going to try an get it on the house insurance, but failing that i'm going to need a whitebox / barebones. Looking at the ideas so far, thanks guys, keep em coming -andy
Alternatively take a crowbar/bat/chainsaw/machete to every single chav you ever see and then swiftly take all their cash untill you have earned enough cash to get a new laptop, perhaps a Vaio or a MacBook Pro? The scum of the community owe it to you...
Lol, i just looked up "chav" on urban dictionary....lol, to bad theres no second amendment in Britain.
lol! Vice City rules don't apply in real life! Seriously though, tell your dad not to mention you were attacked by chavs in town. Tell them you had some sort of 'accident' in the house. They're much more likely to cover you for something like that. Oh, and feel free to go chav-hunting anyway...
A new urban extreme sport like free running, i name this sport 'Chav hunting' aim the the sport is to violently hurt or kill chavs that you see during your day. Suggested training to be followed out on Manhunt. lol I have been looking around for 'whitebox's' for a while as i have a heap of crap to use! lol
As an animal rights sympathiser I must object! Chavs are not to be hunted in blood sports by the higher social classes under the pretence of "tradition", nor are they to be cruelly poached, their bodies callously tossed aside after having been stripped of their bling and skinned of their designer gear. Chavs must be rounded up by professional experts who know how to handle dangerous animals safely, and taken to a natural habitat far removed from human civilisation where they can roam free as the magnificent wild animals they are in a fenced-off, protected and isolated preserve. Who has not felt the awe-inspiring sense of nature when watching a toss of adolescent chavs roaming the concrete wastes of the sink estates, or a full-grown male standing proud on an abandoned, burnt-out car wreck, lead pipe clutched in its prehensile claw, surveying his domain? Who is not impressed by the ruthless physical prowess of these beasts as they systematically gang up on a defenseless car (found straggling behind the rest of its jam), rip out its stereo and strip its carcass clean in seconds? Or their raw ability to consume large quantities of drugs and alcohol at their local watering hole, while bellowing their loud, primal mating calls and territorial shouts of defiance to competitors? Chavs are to be cherished as a valued species. They give us a better understanding of nature, red in tooth and claw, and the position of humanity in it. They give us a glimpse of our primitive ancestry and our relationship to our animal selves. Nature documentaries like Big Brother, which are set in a zoo-like confined artificial environment can't capture their true magnificence. So dig deep, fellow humans, and make a donation to: Chavassic Park!
I don't normally use smileys, but... I love it. Furthermore, I nominate the entire state of North Dakota for the placement of said Chavassic park.
Rofl, North Dakota? Needs to be more eastern with the rest of the US that sucks just as much... *cough*New Jersey*cough* Does eBay ship to where you live, all sorts of stuff there... Chavs sound like those dirty "preps" here, only more street-oriented, try working out and then beating the [censored] out of them, do this while all their friends are around, trust me. They wont jump in as they expect their 'friend' to win, you take 'em out one by one until the rest run away
I suggest Birmingham for the UK's chavetarium, fortunately enough I am incredibly lucky in Spain there isnt much in the way of chav, and the ones that are seem to be cross breeds being out done by more dominant and wiley classes of its similiarly natured cousins known as the 'normal person' These normal people are not as dangerous as their more agressive cousins 'the chav' they also are not wanted dead by most due they tend not to have such 'bling' as the chav will on one carcass. The amount found on one chav will probably be disperssed between 40-50 normal beings. I agree with Nexxo in that inhumane hunting is diabolical, however humane putting down of animals is always an option, I think any chav which has been found to be violent to any other chav or god forbid and other normal being then they should be put down for human health & safety reason. (Just for informations sake - that statement should cover every chav....ever) Normal people = YAY!! Chavs = BOOOO!!
Maybe, but you gotta admit, it's bloody entertaining this thread . Anyways quick update, my lappy is leaving me tomorrow via the insurance peoples, and hopefully coming back in working order Now...feel free to bitch about the populous of chavs, we have some promising plans here ladies and gents for the chavvy population. Thanks - Andy
This place you seek for Chavs already exists. It's called Ibiza.... Send them all there, they'll go willingly of course, schedule a NATO live-fire bombing exercise and prove that no problem cannot be solved with the application of enough high explosive....
I prefer to chose "Thermite" or "Thermite Plasma" Hum, looks like i have been watching too much TV Sam
