I could do that. I just need to move my extensive gif collection to another place.

No. I need to get one. Any recommendations?

I prefer getting a 2.5” SATA enclosure and then stuffing in a laptop hard drive in there. Comes in handy.

Here’s a USB 3.0 one (I bought a 2.0 one 5 years ago that looks just like that one and it still works fine).

And buy yourself a 250GB HD (or whatever size you want really)

$30 total.

w00t for the Quadro card. I have a K2000M in my laptop and it kinda sucks for games but it slays SolidWorks

The Quadro card I have is pretty meh... I ordered a FirePro V5800 which is much better performance wise.

dem workstation class cards... by the way, what laptop do you have? It’s either a ZBook 15, W530/540/541, or a Dell Precision M4700/4800... :P

ARE YOU ME?
I just got an HP Z400 with the same chip and a Quadro of some sort. Rubbish for gaming but decent for general computering. Only have a 120gb and 2GB RAM at the moment, sadly.

Also

>Windows 95 wallpaper and not using the Classic theme

*flips hair* pshaw

You have a particular knack for skirting the limits of the NSFW rules here on Oppositelock. I’ve let it fly before, but your last GIF thread was crossing the line. Any GIF involving a woman and a piece of horse genitalia, no matter the context, is inappropriate. I’ve moved the entire post to drafts - do not attempt to republish or repost.

For the record, if you think there is even the slightest chance that something might be considered NSFW, do not post it. Full stop. Unless its a warning for foul language in a video, I don’t even want to see the term “NSFW” in a post on Oppositelock.

Are we on the same page here?

Yeah, sorry man. It’s all good.
