    Thrax, very true. Need to pay more attention in future.

    Mackanz, naah... I'm putting the NF7-S back in it's case, and switching the cooling system around in the process. However, I did notice something... The 400w Antec I have is made by Channel Well Technologies... I forgot what the model was (I think it's a PP403-X), but it's whatever came in the SX1240.

    As far as I know Channel Well Technologies (CWT) manufactures most, if not all, PSU's from Antec.

    BTW: Good to hear you are okay. Fried Geeky doesn't sound all that appealing. :hair:

    Actually, its amperage that kills you, not voltage

    Uh oh, then you have to be careful around a powered on PresHot.
    It is some amperage going through a PresHot motherboard.

    A 3.4 GHz PresHot pulls around 80A.

    BTW: You could get a buzz from the old BNC network cables.
    I had a tingling sensation in my fingers for several hours.
    The worst thing is, that I accidentally touched it several times. In the wrong places that is, and at several occasions.

    Watts, amperage, I believe current is the word :D

    Hurts, dunnit? DC much more painful than AC, but both can be lethal.

    Had a few whacks off of TV sets meself. Numbed arm for 30 minutes or so. Ouch.

    Glad you're OK there Geeky1.

    Yeah. It's been a while since I shocked myself tho (this time was the most recent one)... so, if you'll excuse me, I have to go jam a fork in an electrical outlet... :D

    Did you know that POTS lines carry 48v at ringtone and up to 100v when ringing?

    Me and -tk both (independently) found out the fun way.... When punching down new POTS lines in a wiring closet! Wheee zap!

    Keto, I used to rig car coils to door knobs. You can dump about 20kV out of one, at microamps of course. Ah, inductance and capacitance can be so fun.
    Line voltages are not fun. I hate getting shocked from a high current source, It hurts so much worse.

    I guess I just have an electric personality. I was at the Porsche dealership yesterday- I got zapped by a Boxster (guess it didn't like me... :-/;D) and by the door twice. Stupid static electricity.
