Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

Thanks Kev, the wattage is not really the key other than the higher the better. Its the outputs. Ideally I need 4 x Molex, 4 x SATA plus the normal 20+4 mainboard connector and a 4 pin for the CPU. The 4 x Molex are for an MSI Twin Frozr graphics card which uses them all. At a push I could skip the ...

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

Yes similar, it's all in the overall wattage and the number and type of output connectors. The faulty one is a 650W job with a few more outputs than the one in your photo. Probably be easier if I popped up to have a look at some point.

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

Happy birthday Kev, It's easy to be 65. I'm fairly certain that time speeds up the older you get. I have no idea how I got to 72 so fast :extrawink:

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

Thanks Kev, it needs to have a minimum of three SATA power connectors plus the multi-way for the mainboard and a separate 4 pin CPU feed. Our Jack hasn't got back to me yet, he may have a spare.

I am toiling with an PC upgrade problem. Our Desktops SDD boot drive is full so I ordered one four times as big.

Who was the folk singer that moved onto a canal boat? Can’t remember her name.
That would be Heather, (Calluna), she's at the same gym as me. She's a Graphic Designer by trade but plays guitar and sings a bit as a hobby.

She and her partner Elaine are back in "normal" housing now.

Not sure of the date so I went looking on the archive site for clues. Earliest accessible post (as the mirror taken is corrupted) was 2007 but I think it was some time before that as I had over 2000 posts in Feb 2007. I could have been not long after the old site went live which would be 2004. I thi...

Re: TOTAL IMMERSION. NORTH OF ENGLAND

A long time ago when I was about 17 and camping in the woods at Bowness we met an American lass who was 22 years old. She was amazed that we were allowed to do this at our tender age. She came across as a very sheltered individual and very naive despite a five year gap in our ages.
