OMG ... It was a rainy and thunderous day and my PC was still on ... (I have my PC on a power serge protector) ... Then in the morning I came to turn on my Monitor and it gave me all these scrued up colors ...:banghead:
:bs::banghead:
I restarted my PC and the FU*ked up colors were still there ... then I took the monitor to my brothers room and tried it ... the Colors were scrued up ... This means that I just lost a FREAKING 19" MONITOR WITH NO RETURN! ... (since I ordered it online) :sad2: ... THE FU**:shakehead :banghead:
Now I have to go back to the 15" that I have ... DAMN YOU CRULE WORLD WHY WHY!!!!

That is why I have a $260.00 UPS to protect my system instead of a $15.00 surge strip. It is also why I trust a $230.00 PSU insted of a cheap $30.00 unit to power my $2200.00 worth of components! I also need to add that it is important to keep the side panels on to protect from proximity strikes. This where the lightning hits very close and is conducted through the air and doesn't need wires to carry it to do damage.
BTW
I keep all 3 of mine on 24/7 folding @ 100% CPU useage.
but if the system is worth 2200, i think it would be worth it to pay the $500 deductible.

My UPS is a lot more than just a battery backup. It also conditions the power to within .5% of the given voltage as well as has protection for my AC in and has jacks for phone, RJ45, etc. Ever since I hooked it up my monitor has never flickered again. I am willing to bet I trippled the life of all my components with this one piece!
yeh, i was just saying that a line conditioner can be had for a lot less than a battery backup. If you can afford the battery then get it, but otherwise a line conditioner will protect you, but you just wont have the cushion time to shut your computer down if the power goes out.
I bet if we all researched it we could build the ULTIMAT computer of our time... :ukflag: :headbange ........after we help steve I say we start putting 2gether the best PC ever ... with NO price boundrys
I could crush $60k with no budget. Think a quad socket dual core opteron 8xx processors, maxed out on memory, Several RAID arrays from hell, Nvidia Quadro Vid cards, Quad Redundant Powersupplies.
What does that get you? A Industrial Server/Super Grafixs workstation from God Hybrid.
lets do it. you will see the only half million dollar computer with a pb of stroage. Im gona call the system: Solar Array.
Now, if I do a SCSI array, the bigest drive I could find was a 300gig seagate, so I will need 3334 drives. and at an cost of $840 per drive, that will cost me $2,800,560 in hard drives. BUT, I will have one petabyte of storage.
Does anyone have a case that can fit 3500 drives? Cause I think we are about to go back to '73 and fill a room. actually, the computer would be in a case, the hard drives will fill the room, btw, you might want to put some hearing protection on before you enter.
edit: I just remembered I gonna need a lot of scsi controllers.:wow2:

Well my monitor was an LCD :P ... flat screen :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

If you guys want to go for an updated version, why not start a new thread? I know I would be interested to see what you come up with.
