OK, so here I was, just minding my own business, when *CLICK* my computer just died. What happened you might ask? My PSU went blooie. :-( I actually had smelled something kinda like burning plastic earlier (you know the smell) and I could *kinda* tell it was coming from the vicinity of my computer, but I couldn't be 100% sure. Well, apparently I was right, cuz *blooie* and it's gone. Now that I have it out, I smelled near the fan on the unit itself, and - WHOO - um, yeah, it was the PSU. BUT, everything else is OK. (I'm typing this on my computer, currently using a loaner PSU from my Dad) The plus side? I get to get a really sweet replacement! I was looking around on Tiger Direct, (great computer place, I must say) and I think I found just the one. Features:
- 550 watts
- Adjustable 120mm fan
- Color switchable LED lighting inside (shines out through the fan)
- The cables are wrapped in green UV reactive cable sleeves
- You also get a blue UV-emitting 120mm fan to put anywhere in you case, along with a fan speed control knob thing that can control up to 5 fans (I think you just plug one fan into it, then just daisy-chain the rest from that one, and it controls all of them at once [most case fans have a power connector pass-through] )
I'll make sure to post details (maybe some pictures too) when I get it. Bye for now!
