Let the Computer Live
I’m posting this from my desktop which hasn’t been used in approximately 2 weeks, so I know that it must be happy to be doing stuff once again. The only thing that didn’t work initially was sound, but that was only because I forgot (or more appropriately, didn’t realize I needed to) plug in the power cable to the onboard sound. Everything works fine now, so I’m once again in business.
I also got a nice surprise with the new PSU I ordered; my old one was a modular, and while the lack of extra cables was nice, it also kept me from installing the top case fan. Well, all the ones I was looking at getting were modular, so when I ordered this one, I just assumed that it was also. Well, it’s not (surprising, since this is one of their higher end ones), so assuming I can find the right kind of screws, I can install that fan and get better cooling going on inside of my case. Not sure if I really need it or not, but that’s one of those things it never hurts to have too much of.
