October 19, 200916 yr the power supply gave out on my computer this weekend so its been dead since thursday. It was interesting to see just how much time i use the computer when i didnt have one at my disposal. so now $64 lighter i am back. i couldnt believe there was only a 350 watt supply in this thing. pushing a 450 now and i suppose soon i shall break down and build a new one come spring. well, at least the power supply is one less thing on the parts list....
October 19, 200916 yr I remember when 450 was a lot. I'm running 600W and am looking to upgrade it for a major upgrade i plan to do (go quad, dual SLi, 2TB HDs, 8 gigs of ram)

October 19, 200916 yr Author I remember when 450 was a lot. I'm running 600W and am looking to upgrade it for a major upgrade i plan to do (go quad, dual SLi, 2TB HDs, 8 gigs of ram) well the comp usa in greenville went bust so i had to truck it to worst buy. i was amazed. they had an 800 on the counter for $180 i think. Who's the manufacturer? Allied is on the sticker, manufactured may 2005 Glad your back.... its good to be back, even missing 4 days i feel completely disconnected from the world, and the forum. gots a lot to post on the car spotters thread for sure.

Glad you got it fixed and it didn't take the system with it
October 19, 200916 yr I had to recover mine yesterday. I am not really sure whether to blame Vista or other factors. I know it seems a lot better without Opera. Too bad, I really liked Opera but I am seeing that they have really improved Internet Explorer. I am considering installing Windows 7 on it but so far it seems alright. If I did get Windows 7 I would get the family pack and doo all 3 computers with Vista. The laptop seems to struggle a bit with Vista at times. I dont require a lot out of my setups. I still have the one we bought in April of 2001 that had ME but I converted to XP a year or so later when ME was being a pain. I dont know where the XP disk went though for it and it could use a clean install again. It still works fairly well, just a bit slowly.
