Re: My PSU Died
Very nice.. Thats gonna take a few hours of work! Did you have the old PSU all 'cable-tied'? It does take time to get the cables into their optimum placing but very satisfying when they can't be seen.

I'll tell my boss I need some overtime that'll help pay for it.
It does take time to get them tied up and out of the way.

Yes I try to keep it as neat inside my case as I can because with wires and cables in the way it can obstruct air flow.

No big hurry, it's not like I can't put my hands on a PC until it comes in

Re: My PSU Died
Well I changed my mind I'm going with the 1KW one for the simple fact I can't see spending an extra 75-100 bucks for only 200 more watts.

Yeah I work with him.
The bad part is the one I have that died I got it off of e-bay from a guy that had his RMA'd so I figure I'll stay away from OCZ's PSUs from now on
