South Park made your computer feel silly for playing that game.

I know I should get a new PSU, but IS THIS WHAT WOULD BE HAPPENING?

So I peeked inside and it seems that the power supply is rated for 250 watts, which is nothing fantastic to say the least! I know my CPU uses upwards of 40W for itself, and God knows what my 18-million PCI cards in the back are doing, along with the two DVD drives and other shit goin on inside. So what happens when a power supply is overworked? Please tell me this, because I can suck up buying a new power supply than making a new computer.

Okay, so my computer is slowly deciding to shut down it's insides every time I reset it. A few months back, I realized that my vent fan was no longer working, the motor blew. So I got a new one and installed. BIOS or whatever thinks that it's still nonexistent, so I just hit F1 to continue.
If my comp stays on longer than a few hours, USB functions start to go away. My external HDD's aren't recognized, nor is anything else I plug into the ports. Then my sound card goes. Windows thinks its not even there and I need to respecify a device.
Then my DVD+RW will shit out, won't even respond to button presses! My regular DVD-ROM still works though... odd.
But all these are fixed with a reboot, then it's just a few hours until everything dies again. What. The. Fuck.

I use Nero's DVD making program that comes bundled with their software. It converts just about any video file pretty quickly to whatever specs you want your DVD to be. You have pretty good control over quality and everything. Flashy menu creation galore as well!

I've been playing Madden 07 nonstop on PS2 for the past week. I've demo'd the 360 version and love it. If they drop the price of the unit, drop the price for Madden, or make a combo deal with something that's fun (Perfect Dark Zero, hint hint), I'll max out my credit card ASAP.

Does anyone know if the prices for 360 are dropping anytime soon?

Kulock lost the webspace (not his fault) and is currently looking for a new host. For a minute, I thought that read "Knuckles lost his grapes" and I got a warm feeling inside.

"Rooting for the democrats" seems silly to me, because quite frankly, does that mean you don't care what all their stances are? Most have different ideas and beliefs. Or are you just saying you don't want a right-winged House?

My roommate got hit on his bike while driving in front of my car. Scary shit.
Now one of my best friends just bought a bike... I'm honestly a bit convinced I'll be attending his funeral.
Best wishes, dude. My thoughts are with ya.

I don't update to protect me, I update because obviously MS fucked up somewhere and this is a fuckin fix.
If your car had a recall issue where the stock axel would crack if you went over 70, you're just telling me you wouldn't go over 70? (MPH, you can do the math to km/H lol)

You're still gonna run into problems down the road with the genuine bullshit farting on you whenever you feel like getting new updates. Just find a legit copy of XP somewhere, it's not hard. Go to a library or school workplace and find a machine that has the genuine windows sticker on it, copy down the number, and install the mega ultra variable license version of XP, as that's likely what they did and toss in that number.
Or, if you're lucky enough to be enrolled in a college that has MSDN and you have access to it, download XP for free like I did.

Manufactuer doesn't have the specs listed; I obviously checked their site first before comin here ;P
But I just did some math and figured out at ~80% effeciency (Class D monoblock) and rated at 60 amps, I should be puttin out about 43VAC per channel output on the amp. Got my gains set accordingly, but the sub can handle a lillll more than that, so I turned it up a wee bit more.
Bumps ahoy.
