Crap - the PS went on the main computer.

I'm telling you, the next computer is going to be a Mac.

F'in PCs.

That's what you get for plugging it into the same socket as the
intergalactic time/pizza relocater.

Frekin' Ronco relocaters...hurmph..

If it was a Ronco, it would have worked.

This relocater was a Yamaha.

Lemme guess...... an E-machine....
Please - built by me.
Don't blame the fact that it is a PC. Blame it on the PS you purchased.


I called my brother who has several and he said he goes through one or
two a month.
I would not listen to any advice from your brother anymore.


This one was a 500 watt PS, but it's cheap - I just took it apart -
all potted, nothing fused, etc.

And that is the fault of the PC............or you for purchasing a cheap
ass PS? ;-)

I wonder if it sez ETEC on the side?

I was watching an episode of Cops on truTV tonight only to see a commercial
for Evinrude E-Tec's in between the wife beating and drug stabbing shots.
What next? Advertising during the Judge Judy show?





Obviously, ETEC is trying to appeal to wife-beating drug stabbing shooters.

Well I was talking to my bud today and mentioned E-Tec, he went off on
how much everyone he talks to loves them. Little pricy, but everyone
he talks to loves them. He is a road sales rep for the largest repack
and repair outfit on the east coast and sees literally hundreds of
real boaters at marinas and marine hardware outlets all over his tri-
state sales area... But I guess the mag editors and news group dieties
probably know better than those off shore fishermen and commercial
pilots

Yeah, there are *two* ETECs in the mostly outboard boat fisherman's
marina I use. One is on a cop boat that hardly ever goes out, and the
other is on a boat I have seen running once.

Means nothing. Didn't see any ETECs at Virginia Beach, either. That's on
the real ocean, not LI Sound.

Harry,
You actually have to go down to the water to see the boats. Very few
will run by in your living room.

I talked to my brother tonight about it - he's got 800 or so PCs under

past three years or so, he's noticing more and more power supply's just
crapping out. He stocks them now that money is tighter - can't just
pull out the goodies and buy a new computer like he used to. He also
used to spec out 500 watt supplies - now he specs out 750 to slow the
rate of attrition down.

Not all PSUs are created equal. Even the power ratings on some of the
cheaper units are suspect. Get yourself an Antec or comparable, and
forget about it.




Based on what I see with this bad one, he's right.
