raymac46 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) My Linux desktop that I use in the basement room developed a wonky power supply. It still worked OK but when booting up it made a noise like a Dash 8 turboprop taking off. After 5 minutes or so it got quieter but I was a bit concerned about its long term health. So today I replaced it with a new Thermaltake TR-2 500 watt unit. The Thermaltake TR-2 isn't modular but I don't have that many attachments to make so I was able to tie the extra cables up out of the way when finished. While I was at it I replaced the case exhaust fan with a quieter one so now I have blissful silence.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Umm... color me stupid, but how are you guys posting Youtube vids here? I couldn't get it to work earlier, but I know I've done it before. It's heck to get old and senile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
