Best of the Best!
 

well.. i been thinking and wondering and pondering, and some extra more things
i was wondering like how much do people here really know about repair computers?

it's just i was wanna ask like how much do people know about computers? cuz we are the best team in us and ranked stupidly high in the worldwide rank in overclocking but what about real time computing?

i fix computer as a part time job but what about you guys?

I used to do a ton of it, and still do some here and there.

It sucks IMO , like they blame you if they get a virus after surfing 1500 hrs. of porn sites .... and stupid shit like that.

that's awesome man!
i know dude! and i love when you just pull up there IE history and there face is like like ummm... lol

Especially when their wife is standing there beside them ........... :rofl

I learned how to open my computer case about a year ago, lmao.

i know right!


but you grow up so fast!
just try imagine years down the road

I know bits here and there, can solve most problems I reckon
Am aiming to expand my knowledge though, no harm in earning a few bob on the side.

I think with minimal savy, a user can fix most issues with google :) problem is most people arent brave enough or dont care enough to try.

I've been known to fix a couple. ;)

Damnit ocgmj your avatar throws me for loops everytime. :rofl

I will fix/build imediate family members computers, but I play stupid, busy or both to everyone else. Basically for the reasons Witchdoctor stated above.

that's awesome guys

and splave is right lol "google it!"

The real "Best of the Best" was Tommy Lee

I usually fix friends and family computers if they ask. The thing is i don't charge. Most of the time i get a gratuity from them. But i've gotten builds from alot of those people now that they know i do it cause i like to. Teaching online savy to the general public is harder than fixing the pc's. But once they learn, then their pc problems stop.

that's awesome mang! :thumbsup:

you know i was just wondering cuz we are so good at what we like to do but i was not sure about what's related to it, i was sure that there are some of you guys that knows about computer fixing

and ocm shut up about you just learned opening the comptuer case what ever dude! you fixed how many videocards in the oven already? :D

Google can be a mans best friend ;)

I used to be a System Admin(did MCSE & CCNA in 2001) and now I am a Sr. DBA, so I guess I know a few things about Networking, Servers and troubleshooting.

I've looked into doing the CCNA, would you say it's worth it?

fix also pc for extra income

I would say yes, though ultimately in Private organisations, its the knowledge which matters but then there are some organisations which put stress on Certifications as well.......

I fix, repair and build computers anytime I can. Love it. Have several certifications which got me nowhere. Didn't really teach me much that I didn't already know. Guess I should have stuck with it and took it farther but got tired of throwing money at it after awhile. To be honest, the schooling was making me sick of computers. I know a thing or two about databases or at least I think so. Seems everyday I learn something new. I helped create and maintain 3 Access databases daily on 280 prisoners as well as I am over the pc's in the 3 Oklahoma branches for the company I work for. I also try to help out here when I have a chance. Less now than what I use too. One day I'll be back in the game head strong. That's all.

I do a lot of PC janitorial services, do some repairs and flip HW.

Lately I am thinking I do not know as much as I used to though. Spending way more time on HW now, and OS/SW and SE skills are lacking.

dude thats' awesome man! i am just starting to learn Access right now seems really cool and all..
i have a few certifications my self as well but nothing i am doing here is effected by it, A+ is like something everyone is got, and CCNA is like networking and stuff like that witch if i have a college deg then i should be good? but idk... :laughing:



dude you all good, i still remember there was one time back in 2004~2005 ish i was trying to make a dos bootable but took me for ever cuz i for real forgot how to make them i had to go ask my mom for help rofl! that was a funny day

hmmm...Let me tell you the certifications which are pretty hot and without which you cannot expect to get a job in that particular field(untill and unless you are already in that field), atleast thats the case in India.

MCSE - It tells you about using Microsoft Servers in a network to control Active Directory, setup DNS & DHCP servers, Microsoft Exchange. This is a must for becoming Windows System Admin
RHCE - This is about Unix Administration. And is a very tough course to clear. Most of the big organisations in the world uses Unix servers, so a pretty safe bet.
CCNA - System Adminstration requires one to know networking concepts as well in depth, so even if you do not want to get into networking, this certification or its knowledge would help you miles in getting a System Administration job. If you want to get into networking then there are further courses as well like CCNP, CCIE but atleast CCIE is very very tough to clear, and one would need atleast 5-10 Years of real experience in creating/managing big networks before one can think of CCIE.
OCP - Once the Network and Servers have been setup, the real work of a company/software company starts, and most of these applications need Database. Access really is not even considered a Database in the real world, :P, though I have used it as well, and its GUI format is so much easier to use, but it cannot handle even average sized databases which contains thousands/millions of rows of data, and is very heavy on server resources, you will never find it being used in any Software company.

But people of our age, or atleast me, I cannot think of studying for anymore certifications. I can only concentrate to study new hardware, :D, everything else makes me feel sleepy.

well....as for me.....if everything depends on certification then am a noob...but i have been repairing comp for at least for two years now.....got an real BRAT at home[bro] whose job is to break and damage things....so u can say i save world on a regular basis:D

so technically its possible to be an OCP MOD :laughing:

*groan

:rofl!!! you are not that old :thumbsup:

great info up there btw!

Yeah I didn't take it that far. School was just boring to me and I could only concentrate on trying to tweak the computers I was on or mine at the house. Only certificates I have are your basic A+ and Network+. Also picked up a CIW Associates. Wish I would have taken some courese when I was young, before all the drinking and druging I did in my 20's! :confused2:

My main focuses now are small repair and builds, overclocking and Access. I have no interest anywhere else or taking it any further.

I also have A+ and Net+ certificates.

Never got a job in IT based on them. Just get jobs and end up working for way less than I should be cuz, they realize my kung fu and exploit it.

:confused2: :confused2::rofl:confused2: :confused2:

Exactly.

YUP exactly! There is nothing more to say about hat. Most people are completely retarded when it comes to dealing with PCs and software. :ohcrap:

at my work i felt so bad charging so much for what we do! it's felt like robbing them sometimes
