2. Pwned!!!!
1337 Case Mod
You scored 215 skilled, 80 artistic, 185 gamer, and 20 conformity!
You got the skills! You built your computer from scratch, and thought long and hard about all the components, balancing them for optimum performance. You didn't spend a fortune on your computer, but you spent what you needed to. You'll probably spend a fair bit of dough to upgrade it in six months, when the lastest video card comes out. You play lots of games, but you probably dual boot to Linux. You probably design webpages or program things.




I just wish my case ACTUALLY looked like that, otherwise the summary is accurate.

28. It told me
that I'm a "Mac Mini" and that I probably don't use the computer very much! Boy, was THAT the wrong answer!!

Been working on PCs for 18 years, built at least two, have fixed and upgrades about 20 times, and fondly recall days of DOS and command prompts. That quiz couldn't be further from the truth if it tried!

4. Well, I can't argue with the scoring, but I argue the Ubuntu part
Give me a source based distro any day!

Ubuntu Linux
You scored 230 skilled, 115 artistic, 75 gamer, and 10 conformity!
You like Macs, but Ubuntu Linux calls your name. It's easy enough that your mom could use it, but it provides you with all the latest open source software. You need to be skilled to administrate it, but once you have it set up and configured, it runs like a charm. You like to be different, and this provides you with some sort of identity. You probably like open mic night at the coffee shop, too.



My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 87% on skilled
You scored higher than 62% on artistic
You scored higher than 62% on gamer
You scored higher than 0% on conformity

Concept Gamer
You scored 200 skilled, 125 artistic, 205 gamer, and 50 conformity!
You know those gaming rigs that get featured in magazines because they were so cool? You build those. You have the skills and the artistic talent to design the most outlandish gaming rigs ever. They not only look cool, but they run cool too. You could probably overclock most of them without any issues.



You scored higher than 99% on skilled
You scored higher than 99% on artistic

Haha, blam!

beer doesn't conduct electricity. I didn't want to risk it, though.

10. Power mac G5
Edited on Sun Jun-25-06 08:35 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Power Mac G5

You scored 220 skilled, 80 artistic, 65 gamer, and 35 conformity!

You like your computer powerful, but you like it to look good. Look no further than the Power Mac G5. It has the power you need, and the modern art deco look you've been craving. Sure it doesn't run Windows or play games, but it's not like you need either of those things anyway. You play by your own rules.

My test tracked 4 variables. How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 62% on skilled
You scored higher than 37% on artistic
You scored higher than 37% on gamer
You scored higher than 25% on conformity

Beige Box
You scored 85 skilled, 50 artistic, 55 gamer, and 105 conformity!
You don't care about what's inside it. You probably own an HP or a Compaq, maybe even an Acer. You run Windows, not because you know any better, but just because everyone else does it.

14. Mac Mini
You scored 175 skilled, 115 artistic, 70 gamer, and 35 conformity!
Your computer says a lot about you. Your Mac Mini says that you want a computer that runs as good as it looks. Sure you could buy a more expensive machine, but you probably don't use your computer all that much, so it would be a waste of money.

15. I'm a Dell
Dell
You scored 110 skilled, 40 artistic, 40 gamer, and 70 conformity!


If your "skilled rating is less than 80, read this:
Dude, you're getting a Dell. You don't really know much about computers. You probably even don't know why you're here at this website. You run Windows, but you have no concept of what that means. You think the monitor is the computer, and you try to use your CD-rom for a cupholder. You don't like to conform, Your ISP is probably something like AOL, or PeoplePC. Here's a word of advice: take a class or two on basic computer usage at the community college.

If your skilled rating is 81 or more, read this:
Dude, you're getting a Dell. You're sold on their quality product for cheap prices (Dell, I expect a royalty check). You're pretty much the average, run-of-the-mill computer user. Don't worry, it's a logical fact that other people are in the same boat with you.







:rofl: My laptop is a Dell. :rofl:

16. Alienware
You scored 135 skilled, 95 artistic, 110 gamer, and 30 conformity!
Nothing says "kick hax" like a tricked out Alienware machine. Sure you spent $4,000 on it, but it's a small price to pay for both how good it looks, and how fast it is.

Sony VAIO
You scored 150 skilled, 65 artistic, 55 gamer, and 65 conformity! You would go Mac, but everyone is still using Windows so why switch? You like your Sony because it's so cool. It's like using space age technology. They support memory sticks, because, let's face it, memory sticks are cool. Sony's are sleek and elegant, and they run Windows... what more could you ask for?

EDITED: Because as someone noted elsewhere, I can't spell.
