Re: power supply
I'll tell you this. There are a lot of unscrupulous vendors out there that sell power supplies that DO NOT have United Labratories testing ratings. Beware of these. In my opinion, they are nothing but smoke generators. Make sure anything you buy has a UL testing seal.

I've gone with the Enermax modular PSUs for the past couple I purchased, and have been quite pleased.

Re: power supply
Pcpower and cooling are about as top end as I can think of and thermaltake toughpower are also very reliable I can also reccomend supermicro psu's also After 5 years working in r and d / repair for oem system building I have seen only one of these fail and it when it did it didn't harm the system On 6/19/10, Nadim Hoque nadimho...@gmail.com wrote: Hey I was wondering what brand name power supply is good.

OT (or is it): Fw: The untold doomsday scenario in the Gulf
Fw: The untold DOOMSDAY Scenario emerging in the Gulf . . .] Oil Spill Releases Death in the Sea I am writing with a sense of urgency for my brothers and sisters in the United States of America. I have been watching the Gulf oil disaster unfolding for 52 days now and am so aware that what is being officially presented in the mainline media is a vastly watered-down version of what is really occurring on the ocean floor (and in boardrooms away from the public eye). The cavity containing oil beneath the ocean floor is estimated to be larger than the Grand Canyon and the so-called 'spill' is actually not pluggable by the feeble attempts of man. In the last couple of days information has been forwarded to me, the entirety of which can be read at http://www.rense.com/general91/oilor.htm . A summary from the article quoting scientists studying the site says this: 'At some point the drilled hole in the earth will enlarge itself beneath the wellhead to weaken the area the wellhead rests upon. The intense pressure will then push the wellhead off the hole allowing a direct unrestricted flow of oil, etc. The hole will continue to increase in size allowing more and more oil to rise into the Gulf. After several billion barrels of oil have been released, the pressure within the massive cavity five miles beneath the ocean floor will begin to normalize. This will allow the water, under the intense pressure at 1 mile deep, to be forced into the hole and the cavity where the oil was. The temperature at that depth is near 400 degrees, possibly more. The water will be vaporized and turned into steam, creating an enormous amount of force, lifting the Gulf floor. It is difficult to know how much water will go down to the core and therefore, its not possible to fully calculate the rise of the floor. The tsunami wave this will create will be anywhere from 20 to 80 feet high, possibly more. Then the floor will fall into the now vacant chamber. This is how nature will seal the hole. Depending on the height of the tsunami, the ocean debris, oil, and existing structures that will be washed away on shore and inland, will leave the area from 50 to 200 miles inland devoid of life. Even if the debris is cleaned up, the contaminants that will be in the ground and water supply will prohibit re-population of these areas for an unknown number of years. ' There is also an extreme alert issued on Steve Quayle's website (http://www.stevequayle.com/index1.html) regarding imminent evacuation of the Gulf Coast: 'Gulf Coast Evacuation Contingency Plans Soon to Go Operational: The operational name for the Gulf Coast Evacuation is Swift Fox. Yesterday morning at around 8:30 Mountain time, I received information that specific towns, in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia were having hotel rooms rented in mass by different named Societies using Federal government credit cards. The block hotel room rentals are for half the available rooms in hotels with a minimum of 120 rooms. Specific conversations were overheard that would indicate that the planned Gulf Coast evacuation is soon to be implemented. The only scenario I hear that may force the government to evacuate the coast is a multiple plume situation. Apparently, the unmitigated oil spilling has caused a pressure flux which, ironically, has caused a spider web network of Gulf seabed fissures, which has caused at least one other confirmed oil plume. NOAA is searching for two more suspected ones. This quote is from an insider who is really concerned as he should be. Here's additional info he provided. His comments in the following quote: I know FEMA has already scoped out FEMA camp locations, i.e. vacant lots and swaths of land that can be leased temporarily in Texas and Georgia. Please take the time to read the whole alert if you are able as it speaks of severe food shortages occurring. Another report from scientists speaks of the underwater plumes being tested (http://www.nytimes.com/gwire/2010/06/08/08greenwire-scientist-awed-by-size-density-of-undersea-oil-98517.html): It's an infusion of oil and gas unlike anything else that has ever been seen anywhere, certainly in human history, said Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia, the expedition leader. Bacteria are breaking down the oil's hydrocarbons in a massive, microorganism feeding frenzy that has sent oxygen levels plunging close to what is considered dead zone conditions, at which most marine life are smothered for a lack of dissolved oxygen. Such low-oxygen conditions were noticed farther from the spill site, although Joye said she did not think the process would immediately produce a dead zone, since low nutrient concentrations in the water would limit the rate of the bacterial consumption. Joye said her team also measured extremely high levels of methane, which is also spewing from the gushing BP well at up to 10,000 times background levels in Gulf waters.

I recently bought a new gaming PC and a high end video card that needed a larger PSU. I bought a Corsair TX750W that Newegg had a deal on ($109 as I recall). Unfortunately, I would have needed to reshape the opening of my tower to use it (just because of the placement of the 110v connector). Anyway, I replaced that with an Antec 550w but have not returned the Corsair. If you, or anyone else, is interested in it I would be willing to make a deal since I would avoid restocking and shipping costs. Contact me if interested. -- Dazed_75 a.k.a.

Adding text to the back means making another screen, which is a lot of prep cost for a small run. I don't think the logo would do well without the white lining, so that's two screens for the front.
