Are you saying that 1.2KW is not enough power for Tri-SLI 280s?

It's really picky about PSUs

[Gorgon]

I can't plug my dual psu into the same socket, or everything will switch off.

[CoM_Solaufein]

Installing a new hard drive in my primary PC. Goddamn hackers who make viruses. Now I have to wait several hours for the new OS to install and in the mean time, I need to find my CDs for the programs I need to reinstall.

My mom wishes me to inform you that for the amount of money that you use to power your computer, you could set up a grow op in your house and instead of losing money, you could make money. Money to fund your obscene computer requirements.

dealing with stupid dramas at work

 

having to ring around to get someone to come fix the elevators

there was an earthquake earlier which seems to have knocked them out

haha, yeah never get a 30" monitor, you'll blow so much $$$ on getting games to run smoothly on it. They sure do look pretty though (CoD5 @ 2560x1600 with 4xaa and 90fps+ at all times)

 

I just picked up a Thermaltake Toughpower 1200w, it's certified for 3x 280s, while my crappy old 1200w Decathlon was not. Also what's interesting is that the 280s were noisy on the old PSU, while they are dead silent on this one

Reading Deraldins post I imagine a fit middle aged women in tight pants and a leather jacket holding a tommy gun standing over a dead cuban man who tried to wrong her in a coke deal riddled with bullet holes and hundreds of shell casings littering the floor. Your mom is pretty bad ass dude.

[samm]

Your descirption sounds like a milf

 

Today, I got up.

[Walsingham]

I spent boxing day with my girlfriend's family. I was terrified to discover that two of the guys from The Office were there. Really very down to earth. Apparently, Steven Merchant is hung like a mule.

[Meshugger]

We're having a christmas party for our friends tonight. I'm set for an evening with booze, christmas candy, playing with the Wii and eating a lot of snacks.

 

And oh,

This would work better. Unfortunately, it can probably also kill a small elephant that touches it in the wrong place.

If a small elephant touched me in the wrong place I'd kill it, too.

went to a pretty crap gig

 

the venue was really small and the accoustics were terrible, and whoever was on sound for the band clearly had no idea what they were doing, and there were a whole bunch of douchebags there as well

 

2 of them in particular were pissing me off, and when they started pushing and shoving and trying to get a mosh pit started (at a goth gig...) i just had enough and promptly told them both to get the **** out

dunno what the hell happened then, but for some reason they started having a go at eachother and must have buggered off outside to beat the crap outta eachother (one can only hope i guess)

 

one bright side of the night was for the first time seeing my friend Julia drunk. i've known her for almost 3 years and had never seen it before

normally she's pretty quiet and reserved, but once she got drunk she was funny as hell. stumbling all over the place and kept trying to get me to dance with her

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I've been reading the Twilight series.

 

It's not crap, simply because of how its told in a non-cheesy way, but still pretty bad.

[CoM_Solaufein]

Reinstalling games and software onto my new hard drive. Oh joy.

Don't you need a special socket for that? Usually the max you can pull from a socket is 1250w, and I think that's where I'm capped at

[Enoch]

Got home from visiting with family. Installed Fallout 3. Played until I left the vault, and the game hard-locked on me.

It has two AC plug ins, so I assume you could plug it in to two different outlets. See the 4th picture.

Its entirely possible, that might be why mine wouldn't work.
