first there was darkness and then

[VampeD]

First there was darkness and then there was smoke . My poor poor PC.
Yes I remeber SiL telling us a story on how his comp set ablaze. SO this is mine. The black screen of death, no not the blue screen the eviler black screen came creeping up my way the other day. Knowing that could only mean a few things. to cut it short.....

~Ode~ the death of meh comp

There was a surge
that created an arch
led to corrosion
which surely grew into sparks
and then to flames
that burned a hole in my mobo's power connector
and though the mobo it grew into a big hole like the one in my heart that ode's to you.
and then comes the harsh launguage ( edited for your safety )
@#^@
#*#^(#& (#!!@ @#%(#@
the end.


this leaves me neoless. i have the shakes. its terrible
N E way
have a new PS and hopefully my mobo of choice will be in my reach as early as tomorrow.

Got another mobo just now. time to install and get back to neo
that put me out about 1.5 days, SiL, I seem to remember you being out for sometime. weres the dedication


@ gauy... no

I always had my suspecions that the PS would be the first to give me hell. It was a Tt 420w, its cooling system just wasnt doing the job you would expect.

but ya. .. . .. back to installation

*counts from 10 to 0...* And lift off!!!

lmfao, 16 fans dude, get yourselve some water cooling if you really need that much, and 600W what you got? a burn tower? o.O

300W does fine for most pc's, enough for 2 harddrives, 2 cdrom drives, a vid, a cpu, a mainboard, lan, audio, usb and firewire.. what else does one need?

Though ... I wouldn't mind having a 600W just for the fun of it

[[TgR]KILLER]

Partly it's for the fun of it, and I tried a 500w, didn't run for some reason.

I got a meaty system, the case lights draw a chunk, plus a chunk of this is OC'd, so draws more +12v rail power. You need at least 20A on +12

As for WC, nooooooooo!
I really, really, really, really do not want to be pouring water out of my Corsair RAM

[HusK]

[[TgR]KILLER]
