Heya Guys, Hope everyone is Good!! I just wanted to Give you all A follow-up on my earlier post. After digging into my computer or what was left of it I found a few surprises, that both angered me and had me crawling for the nearest Hole to hide in. I pulled my system apart ,slowly one connector and screw at a time, I found one problem that i apparently hadn't seen at the time and really don't know how i could have seen it, with 4 hdd's 3 CD and DVD burners, and wires tied off {in what I considered} tidy fashion. One of the Molex connectors had a pin that had popped out of the back and was hanging loose. Apparently, after connecting all components and wrestling them around the case ,tying them out of the way, one worked free,unbeknownst, to me.Then Again it may have come loose while disassembling the unit, who knows huh? I looked throughout the box to see if that pin had maybe left a charred or burnt place on a sidewall of the case or maybe on the Mobo itself , Nadda spot anywhere. This has to be what happened though, because I can't think of anything else that may have gone wrong.(if anyone else here can Please let me know),lol.Oh BTW, After finding this ,The 4 Hdd's I had in this Machine (2) 74gig WD Raptors in Raid 0 cfg, (2) 36gig WD Raptors in Raid 0 cfg all Checked out DEAD, not to mention the 3 Cd and DVD burners. They were not all Brand new but they were not very old either, because I took these out of The system I was replacing to put them in this Brand New Sli Rig . So To Say the least this has been an "EXPENSIVE UPGRADE" , and lesson I Guess I should Add. I don't know how i could have avoided this and seen this DASDARDLY PIN. ( I can assure I know how to avoid this in the future), Hindsight, hehe..Fortunately i had a few new 80gig Sata hdd's laying around to use. Oh well, Anyway the power Supply that was in question has been plugging along in the NEW System Without any issues in the last , Almost 3 weeks now... Seems to be holding it's own, which gets back to the origional Gripe ,that u guys uncovered, which was the Company just Not being up front and Honest with The Public, and Claiming to have a product it didn't....
Well guys Thats my Story and I am Sticking to it..As bad as I hate to say...Again thanks for all the hard work,great reviews and Mostly for your Diligence in Persuing these matters. The Show sounds like Fun wished I could make it. l8r
