As long as you have duct tape, you're good. :cool:

Rick, how goes the home showings yesterday? Fingers crossed for you, buddy!

GH85Carrera 03-09-2015 05:21 AM

Yep, morning again and it is an extra early Monday.

Right now my home computer is not just a super killer email machine but it does my Quickbooks real fast! :D

In the end I want it as a screamer only for a new software package in the digital mapping world. It is a Paradigm shift for us. Only the basics of mapping remain and the software is all new. I will need to learn it and how to make it really work. I don't want to sit around waiting on my computer to churn out the simple test projects.

Well, after some research I figured I really needed this:

This should power my computer and no silly jumper connectors.

Glen, Are you coming west for Rennsport in the fall?

GH85Carrera 03-09-2015 12:37 PM

No, I would like to but it would be a solo trip for me since Mrs. Carrera would be bored with that event.

Parade is getting silly expensive now and can't see spending the money for Rennsport.

porsche4life 03-09-2015 12:57 PM

The event itself isn't bad $80 for the 3 day pass. Its the hotel and getting there that will be $$$.

And the meals.

Expensive to fly and even more to drive.

Noah930 03-09-2015 01:42 PM

Glen, c'mon out. It'll be a blast!

porsche4life 03-09-2015 01:50 PM

Yup! And bring the wife. Thuy and the boys are coming, and Alaricks wife and kids are coming. I'm sure the women won't be at the track much. ;)

Glen, just curious as to which brand/model power supply you have. Some cheat and say 650w but they share power over a common rail for the different voltages so what you get really isn't 650w.

Long weekend. had Friday off and today our main distribution switch went bad. Again. I know the first one got flooded and that is understandable, but the second one is weird. It is on a line level UPS and fiber between the buildings. Anyway, a new one is programmed and in.

GH85Carrera 03-09-2015 02:02 PM

Yea, hanging out with kids, my wife would rather go hang out at the airport.

GH85Carrera 03-09-2015 02:07 PM

I ordered a new power supply. Almost universally everyone said don't use the molex converters.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKDETOC/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

850 watts should cover it.

flipper35 03-09-2015 02:32 PM

They make some pretty good product and they generally fair well in the tests at Anandtech or Tom's Hardware.

GH85Carrera 03-09-2015 02:33 PM

Yea, it seemed to be the top pick of the reviewers.

Rick V 03-09-2015 03:29 PM

Evening Y'all,

Way better than some idiots in a fraternity at OU. Good riddance dumb asses.

I really see no use for any fraternity or sorority. They are just a party place.

Yup! The weather was beautiful. My wife worked 3rd shift last night so she slept most of the day whilst I worked on the 911 wheels. After supper my daughter and I took a walk around the block.

Rick V 03-09-2015 04:53 PM
