Xclio is a damn fine PSU. I'm perhaps the one most responsible for popularizing them around here as a budget PSU. Dissection revield Channel Well Tech as the OEM. If you don't know who they are, kindly STFU because you know nothing of the global PSU market.

My take:

spoil
One entry found for spoil.
Main Entry: spoil
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): spoiled /'spoi(&)ld, 'spoi(&)lt/; also spoilt /'spoi(&)lt/; spoil·ing
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French espoillier, from Latin spoliare, from spolium
transitive senses

4 a : to impair the disposition or character of by overindulgence or excessive praise b : to pamper excessively c : to receive a luxury sports utility vehicle before reaching the age of majority

read: Getting a fscking Cadillac thats not even a decade old as your first vehicle for free. And not just any Caddy, but a fscking SUV. Honestly I think your dad is a fscking dumbass who doesn't deserve sh!t if he drives hundreds of miles in an Escalade. Enviromentally irresponsible asshole.

You're a dumbass for not just admitting you're a spoiled brat.

Your mom is a dumbass because the following is true.

It'd especially suck if something died a week or two in and you couldn't return it.


If I was your mom, I'd let you build it, flash BIOS run memtest/cpuburn, but not let you install windows or your optical. When xmas came I'd make you use a 4x cd-rom. And to earn the right to use the CD-key you'd have to clean up everyone elses gift wrap mess.

When I was thirteen I raked the leaves from under apple trees of a twenty six acre orchard to buy my own birthday present. I packed up, hauled, and burned 2300lbs of leaves and had bleeding blisters on my hands. For a super nintendo.

Lastly, how the hell can you be the 'Opteron Guy' with one single core machine? I have four times that in one machine. No hard feelings though. My girlfriend is more spoiled than you are.

Well on dictionary.com it says nothing about "recieving a luxury anything before reaching the age of majority...

dictionary.com sucks

Merriam-Webster rocks and m-w.com is a lot easier to type.

Just wait till this guy gets married.. Moms pwnage is childs play. You got operas, plays, shakespeare festivals, yellow painted rooms, never hanging out with your friends, eating with fork and knife, never time to just sit all day and assemble a PC to deal with.. and I was touching on the day-in day-out ownage.

It seems justified. None of us can change the parents' spoiling of the OP, so I'm not going to waste time with that, but the OP's reaction (showing no gratitude for $685 in free money while angrily complaining about the stipulations of the person giving the gift) is unacceptable. By posting his whiny complaint on the internet, he was very much asking for the criticism that followed--he should have expected it. Since he is only 13, however, one can at least hope that this will teach him a valuable lesson, which, OP, I will let you derive yourself.

(I am only 14, however, so my opinion may also be questionable.)

You guys are sheep. Easy to type "spoiled" 300 times over ... a 13 year old has the right to complain about stuff like this. Like you all haven't. Give it a rest. You're all suspect.

And its a fair whine. Why not put it together and wrap it up; at least he gets to spend more time at Xmas with family.

Opteron, go make compromise with mom, say thank you I really think you're cool for doing this, can I just put it together so I spend more time wtih you bla bla.

Alright I just got done having a big lexure with my mom. She says I can put it together and use it if I do what ever she says for the next month. Even though I already do anything she wants but I'm happy now. But I guess I shoulda mentioned earlier that she said I could use it when It came here. That's the only reason I was so mad. So I'm bout to go build my PC now. YAY. Mods can change my name back now.

I think everyone who wasn't here for the name change should be informed what it was. It's only fair.

You know what the stand up thing to do would be? Put the system together, test it, then wrap it up for X-Mas. Your mom obviously wants to see you open it then, and it sounds like she treats you good you probably owe her a lot. Look at it this way, you're probably going to out live your mom, plus it does sound like you're close, you don't want to have the memories of all the times you disappointed her. I just went through losing a my dad a couple of months ago, I guess there will always be regrets in death but why stoke the flames? Christmas is about family, do something nice for your mom.
