Stack of PSUs for review for FK showed up today...

Thermaltake all of them.

One "Smart" 430w 80+.
One "Smart" 730w 80+.
One Toughpower XP 1275w 80+ Platinum.


Guess which one is going to be hardest for to bear to part with?

The 430W unit?

One Toughpower XP 1275w 80+ Platinum.

You better beef up the PSU tester for that one

 

[Nightbringer21]

Can you post review of the toughpower first? Are these on the market? If they have as stable of voltage as the seasonic platinum I will be very interested.

 

[Bobnova]

Ya PSU tester is going to need some beef, not sure exactly what I'm going to do about that actually. My water cooling setup doesn't have room for another 4 banger cylinder head.
Might be bandsaw time

Got a new doorknob/deadbolt combo:



Why?

Simple, because my @(#&%* doorknob failed.

Better yet, it failed with the door closed.

Better still, it failed in a jammed-shut sort of way.

Best of all, you cannot replace a doorknob latch mechanism with the door closed.

Exciting, eh?

So after climbing in the window (door failed with me outside...) I headed out the back door and trudged through the field to my car, bought a new doorknob, came back and had a word or two with the door:


















Take that, doorknob.


I won.

Worst part is, the doorknob wasn't even overclocked.



In a somewhat less exciting (but more positive) note, I got this today too:

 

[TsunamiJuan]

if you can pull the knob off you can usually break the bolt loose with a screw driver and a hammer I have had this happen before.

That or you do what my friend did, and tie a rope to the doorknob and other end to your truck and drive off at 90mph

Thank you Santa! Must learn more about this benching stuff. Does it build muscle? Hi, Bob.

 

[moocow]

Crucial sent me 16gb of these bad boys

I'm really digging those quad socket setups you guys got going in the folding section.

Has no one run wprime on one of them yet?

One thing is for sure... Crucial has style.

I've always liked the look of most of Crucials Ballistic line.

Hey Macaholic!

If you can get a windows on that thing that recognizes that many CPUs, you have some serious WPrime points in your future! The rankings are broken down by the number of cores, and the stuff with >12 cores is mighty unpopulated, so a decent run makes a ton of points


Fair warning: Benching is addictive.

Logitech G27 wheel, been having a blast with it the past couple days

 

[capttripppp]

Got a spiffy new mouse, and a GTX 580 that I am about to me knee deep into with the MM and such here later tonight. Thanks for the 580 Miah! You rock

 

[capttripppp]

Dern pictures didn't upload, too big I reckon

 

[PenguinsPal]

Well here is a couple pics of the GTX460, power supply I just received, and the bench I threw together last weekend.

Thank you very much for the awesome stuff MIA!!
