Pirates prefer Kleenex?
How disappointing.

I always envisioned you using the cloth ripped from bodies of slain MS coders/programmers.

Aaarggghhh!

Maybe they should use Klinux.

Then they would have to figure out how to mount their noses.

Could be tricky.

Seriously now.
I realize it's Saturday night and you may already be half in the bag, but reaaallllly.....

All of those shiny, expensive, fast components you bought depend on a steady and unwavering supply of clean power to perform well (or at all) and generic PSUs (typically supplied with cases) just don't cut it.

You have been fortunate, count your lucky stars...but would you be willing to risk a pair of 7800 GTXs in SLI (retail over $1000) to a cheap no-name PSU?

Didn't think so.

Its like buying a brand new fast car, that cost you and arm and a leg, and then putting shitty gas in it.

does it really make a differnece in speed? I never tested it, I've always used the generic psus and they seem to be working fine w/ me, i never had problems w/ lag or anything, everythings always running smooth
