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

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. First problem, not enough SATA power connectors to connect the new drive into the system. I intend to clone the drive directly, I have the software loaded on an additional drive in the ma...

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.

Re: WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO OGFB?
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: Seen in the News
It was the college that made me redundant. I could probably have gone for constructive dismissal as the criteria was that my job position was no longer required. I added it up and I had 37 different roles and responsibilities. My severance redundancy payment allowed me to pay of the remainder of our...

Not seen but heard on the news on the morning radio. Apparently the government have decided to fast track apprenticeships. They are reducing the time served to be qualified to 3 MONTHS!

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.

Re: ENERGY MATTERS
Yes electric was off most of the day and was still off at 6pm in our shop on Ellis Street. I think it is the guys working on the paving at Post Office Buildings that did the deed.
