A PSU With An Identity Crisis
So, I got my replacement PSU in the mail today, but it wasn’t the exact same model I sent them. To an extent this makes sense because I bought my initial one over three years ago and it’s no longer on the market. Instead, I guess they sent me one of the same power of what’s considered to be the same model line. The weird thing about it though, it’s some sort of half-modular, half-normal PSU. I’m guessing that the logic was to put the connectors that almost every computer would need physically attached, and then let the cables for all the other components be the modular ones in order to decrease the number of unused cables in the case. That’s actually quite a smart design, and if this PSU gets used in a smaller case like I’m currently anticipating, it might prove to be quite handy.
I got the first set of shopping done today for my Dallas trip, and I’ll probably do part two tomorrow when I’m back over in that area. I’ve measured my suitcase and an Xbox 360 box will fit just fine, so unless I have a last minute change of heart about my plans involving that, I’ll probably buy one of those here since our store now has them at a $30 discount. I can only imagine what the baggage screeners are going to think when my suitcase goes through and not a single clothing item is in it, but instead it’s full of electronics and software.
