Well, after I replaced the cap, I decided to get a better power supply |
| 8 |
anyway. The one that died was an OCZ 1010 W supply, which is way too |
| 9 |
much for this machine. I used to have 12 hard drives in here |
| 10 |
(Thermaltake Full Armor), but a few years ago I built a server to do |
| 11 |
those tasks. I replaced it with a platinum 650 W rated supply. The new |
| 12 |
PSU looks like it's built a lot better. |

I already have three 12 cm fans that are controlled by the BIOS. I've |
| 15 |
had really poor luck with OCZ anything (to the point that I won't buy |
| 16 |
anything they make anymore.) |
