RE: Was RE: [LUG] motherboard recommendation - now Ian's pointless drivel.




That be the shop I shopped from once... Never again!

I wanted a small case and PSU, so I went in, and asked them.
She said she didn't have any, but then remembered that a broken computer
had been brought in, and on it was a sticker saying 'powers up but
nothing happens'... Or something to that effect.


Well, I happily remove my letherman wave (every geek should have one -
www.thinkgeek - cheapest place I know of), and strip down the case.  I
happily take the case home, and put my mobo, memory, cpu and hdd in it,
press the power button and....

*pffff* smoke!


Aww that's a sad story! Never mind what type of PSU do you need?
I have several AT/ATX supplies of various vintages knocking about.
Come to think I have several cases too.
Besides they usually just go in the company skip!
Just tell me what you need specifically and I will have a rummage!
Just as long as it's not an early Compaq 386 I'm down to me last one.

Regards,

Lee.
