Out for the count
« on: June 20, 2011, 09:04:55 AM »
my main computer is being rather dead at the moment since yesterday (even made a new ship the day before that I have yet to post), I may or may not be terribly productive for the coming time.

Fortunately they were about the only components that survived the initial PSU failure and subsequent upgrades (what I mean there is that they were still compatible - in fact, the optical drives I just barely made by because I had a pci-based ide controller card still. And a single pci slot.)

On the other hand, 3.8Ghz hex-core was very alluring.

Did it overheat or suffer an electrical surge?
