That's Gran Turismo 4, yo. Not my picture (or my driving), just found it in a GT4 photo competition.

And I'm wanting some 2142, haven't played it yet. Made Sargent in BF2, now trying to get the Special Forces unlock for Medic.

Whew, I just had a fun morning of fixing my power supply.

The fan wasn't working, so I opened it up and replaced it. Still didn't work though, because the power supply fan took a different voltage than the fan I replaced it with (a standard case fan). So I had to run a wire out of the power supply to one of the legacy power lines in the case.

But the fan's running full blast now, so I'm happy.

The power supply is a month old, too, so it's fan has no excuse for breaking down.

That's mad ghettorigging, yo.

I'd have just sent it back to wherever for a replacement, but your way works, too.

If I sent it back, I'd have had to be without a computer for, like, two weeks. PLUS I'd have to pay shipping.

I've done enough of that lately, thank you very much.

Ah, my bad.

I'm a pack-rat with PC parts, so I always end up having spares around, or I've got other pack-rat friends I can beg/borrow/steal from.

It's fun to DIY, especially if it's ghetto.

Next on my list is optimizing case airflow by getting all of the wires tied down and outta' the way.

Yeah, I'm obsessive about the cables in my rig.

I used to read Maximum PC obsessively, and I got a lot of ideas from the pictures of Alienware, Falcon Northwest, and Voodoo rigs. It's easier these days with SATA wires - back when everything was IDE, you'd have to origami-out every ribbon cable to get decent airflow.

Have fun sorting it out.
