down to one rig

Post by werewolfdaddy »

Catastrophe hit. Power surge took out my main two rigs. I'm still folding on my girlfriend's computer, though.

Hate to hear it bro. Hopefully they will be minor issues and you'll be back rockin' soon.

I've got a motherboard, video card and memory confirmed dead so far. I'll test the rest when I get home.

Power must really suck over there, we never get surges like that over here.

It rarely surges here, but when it does, it takes out equipment I would prefer to keep. I once lost a 24 port switch that cost nearly $300. I was heart broken.
