Mmm... Stupid cheap power supplies...

Aluscia · 03-04-2004, 01:01 PM

Yeah, gotta love it when the sticker on the side of your power supply says 350W, and then it falls off *after* it burns out, and you realise it's 300W... Unfortunately, I threw the sticker out last night instead of keeping it for posterity.
So yeah, my compy lost power last night in the middle of trying out Horizons, all because of my lovely power eating Radeon 9800. It'll certainly love this new power supply much more, and I'll love the 500W Gambit is selling me even more!

Just a quick bitch, no real hard feelings because the PS lasted me a couple of years, so I'm not really worried.

Heh, I know your pain, and I'm glad it's getting fixed and Gam could help.

Ghryphen · 03-05-2004, 10:16 AM

Does Horizons have a trial? A few ATF have been playing it but have recenly quit, their interest didn't seem to last long.

Aluscia · 03-05-2004, 10:45 AM

7 day trial, I tried it and quit....the item crafting process is too long and painful, I was given like 10 different tools to craft spell scrolls... and you need to be around certain machines... it was retardedly detailed.

Find the tallest building and throw it over and watch it go SPLAT

(just make sure nobody is under it first

)

Aluscia · 03-05-2004, 12:04 PM

I was planning on taking it apart ot see how it works, actually... I like doing those sorts of things.

Gambit · 03-05-2004, 12:59 PM

Ya, do that while it's plugged in for some real excitement!

Aluscia · 03-07-2004, 09:30 AM

Gambit · 04-02-2004, 08:27 AM

Hey, Laur, did you get that new PS I sent yet?

Nilk · 04-02-2004, 09:09 AM

fun thing, is to tag theheatsink, inside the ps, while trying to see if you can get the fan spinning again, because the ps is overheating. erm, c'mon that was like 6 years ago, and the resulting arc of electricity never touched me!

Aluscia · 04-03-2004, 03:02 PM

No, but I anticipate it will arrive soon. My post office takes like 2 days to tell me they even have a package for me.
