My Customer's description of his pc
 

Once a while my friends and family's friends or relatives, ask me to build their pc.

As typically those customers of mine are pc-illiterated... very... limited knowledge... no offense http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/tongue1.gif

Anyways, most recent customer ask me to build a whole new rig for him (his father), as he said his pc was too slow/lag using photoshop, and he did say his current pc its 5+ years old.

So as usual, i asked his pc specification of his current rig.. and guess what he replied me...

He replied me exactly as below :-
"Height of CPU is 19 inches, width of 9.5 inches. Measurement of my dad's current CPU is 16.5 inches, width of 7 inches."

Can i facepalm now?.. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/blush1.gif

I gotta say.. thats the first time in my life that i have that kind of description (or shld i say.. the most "detailed" description..lol http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/unsure1.gif) of pc ever.. well to me.. and i thought the worse i gotten so far i heard customer got problem loading his windows, so she brings just only her monitor to me [rolleyes]

hahahahaha thats awesome!!

dont complain tho - the stupidest customers usually have the most to spend :)

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/laugh1.gif That is funny. When I worked in IT, a staggering amount of people referred to the computer itself (case) as the CPU. They also liked to call backgrounds or wallpaper their "screen saver".

I love it when people call it their "hard drive".
How ironically illiterate.

what a dumbass. without the depth measurement how were you supposed to help?! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/laugh1.gif

isn't a pc's base unit also Know as a Central Processing Unit

haha, yea so many people that come into my shop are complete IDIOTS when it comes to compuers, all they know how to do is look at porn and download viruses[cursing]

in my book the main part is just called the tower

around where our shop is we have a lot of hispanic customers and most of them do not speak fluent english so ive heard all sorts of things[rofl]

Psst my "DELL" is 9 inches.

"The CPU itself is an internal component of the computer. Modern CPUs are small and square and contain multiple metallic connectors or pins on the underside. The CPU is inserted directly into a CPU socket, pin side down, on the motherboard."

YUP I understand that but you could equally say that because everything is located in the base unit its known as a central processing unit

Sure, in the same way that you could call your home your bathroom. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/laugh1.gif

well all depends if its open plan and you've set the place up as a wet room.

perfectly feasible.[thumbup]

Well if you are going to go online and make fun of me you can cancel my order. Don't expect any more business from me!!!!

I hope your not serious..

i also regularly hear people refer to the case as the modem, the PSU, the hard drive, the unit and the box. the last two i actually accept without correcting them.

Don't get me started. I make this face permenantly at work these days
