Finally saved up enough for a new Linux powered gaming rig, but I *may* have skimped on the power supply a bit.. will post pictures when the case arrives today.
@vancha I once bought an enormously expensive Cooler Master power supply with 1000W and I got 4 replacements during the warranty and now after 6 years the last replacement is dead again... A friend bought an extremely cheap power supply at the same time and it is still running... I will never ever spend a lot of mony on power supplies!
@vancha Oh okay I guess you will find out 😅 But in my experience a PC needs less power than I most of the time thought 😅
Never? Oh god I have really bad luck with PCs
PC:
-5 power supply defects
-4 HDD defects
-1 mainboard defect
-1 grafics card defect
Laptop:
1 RAM defect
1 SD cardreader defect
1 WiFi module defect
1 mainboard defect
My statistics so far. And all my stuff looks like new because I treat everything like my life depends on it. I don't know what I am doing wrong 😄
@zwerg12 haha I didn't say I never break anything myself :P I had a bios update gone bad, which broke the motherboard. I've shorted a power supply when I was younger breaking both a motherboard and a power supply. I bent a graphics card and broke it. That's about it though, other than some usb sticks becoming unreadable.
Those are all things I broke myself, can't blame any computers for that ^^ It's either that or I blocked out the memories :P
@zwerg12 woah I guess you can always get unlucky :o
I'm not worrying about it breaking really (actually I've never really had computer hardware fail ever, other than hdd's :o ), more that the 500w of power it provides isn't enough for the cpu and gpu.
