I just got recover from the flu and was actu­ally sick for more than a week (come and go, and in fact I still don’t feel I am 100% recovering)

I feel a bit of headache while writ­ing this post today. The day I wanted to write, I was too sick to write.

I bought OEM copy of Vista last month and test it on my old Pen­tium 4 Prescott(without acti­vat­ing it). Well, it runs okay but most of the time the OS will have error read­ing boot files and return with mes­sage say­ing the sys­tem files has been cor­rupted and ask­ing to rein­stall OS. But after few time Ctrl + Alt + Delete the OS will boot with nor­mal. More

I can’t help but pur­chase a new RAM today. I have 3 stick cur­rently (512MB, 256MB, 256MB) with this new 512MB it’s allow me for the duo chan­nel setup. So this Val­ueRAM cost me RM151. This RAM has a life time war­ranty. Can’t find a cheaper price, this mod­ule of RAM soon will be obso­lete. More

A lot of things have hap­pen ever since… Age for one, I am not get­ting any older ops! I mean younger. I just clean up my room, since it was so hazy out there it’s a good idea to clean up my PC appli­ances so it wont get so dusty and screw up every­thing that I love. Talk­ing about screw­ing up stuff, below would be good exam­ple of what I’ve fried and newly bought.

1. The power sup­ply below (Ener­max), I have sent it for repair last month. Lucky enough that this PSU has a war­ranty of 3 years! So don’t lose your receipts… (haven’t got it back yet)
2. I have bought a 20.1” wide screen View­Sonic screen. For some­thing less than RM1200, It’s a great dis­play. Some photo below for your envy! Heh, don’t worry you should get a 22” or 24” or 30” dis­play! Already in the mar­ket and well you need a super power dis­play card to fire it up other wise you bet­ter just have to wait till every­thing go more afford­able in one or 2 years.

3. I was force to buy a new dis­play card when the new wide screen View­Sonic arrives. Like I told you, you can’t just use one of these new dis­plays with­out plan­ning to get a pow­er­ful dis­play card.

   I got myself eh(a) Win­Fast A6600 GT TDH. This baby cost me RM540 and it’s an AGP8x not the PCIE. Big “no no” to entry level card. Oh yeah, this baby boost a full super solid capac­i­tor (99%), 128MB and DDR3

4. My Moth­er­board dead and got a new ASUS P800-X. Noth­ing so cool about this board. I like my old board more. If it still work it would be cool to have both GT on my rig. Giga­byte 2004 GT edi­tion + A6600 GT TDH. Sounds cool!

5. Bought another stick of DDR RAM. DDR400 512MB at first the moth­er­board doesn’t detect the RAM. Every thing was fine after my Ener­max PSU stop run­ning and I change a new PSU while wait­ing for the Ener­max to be repair.
6. My high end S750 Sound speaker bro­ken and was send for repair and it wasn’t back yet… this set cost me RM1800 1 and half years ago and if you look around law yat the price is pretty much the same.

7. Installed Astro satel­lite disk and con­nected to PC.

8. My Video Card Stop work­ing. So am using back my old video card.
9. I won 4D num­ber (LOL) just a lucky hand I bought for RM5 and win RM1000. I didn’t con­tinue to buy after that… you won’t be that lucky any­more after that eh? Oh yah that pic­ture shows short of one hun­dred because I use it to buy KFC (Mr. Colonel died in year 1980 and he has 6600 KFC out­lets in whole wide word after his death so I think I should paid him a respect *LOL*)
10. Bought a new wal­let.
    

6 month ago I went to my friend PC ser­vices cen­ter and I bought a power sup­ply unit (PSU), which cost me about RM120. My friend (so call friend, since I always ask for his advise on PC thingy) was fix­ing me an entry level PSU to me cost about RM50 — 60 which I rejected & demanded for some­thing expen­sive. I was than thought the expen­sive the bet­ter, so I choose “Enlight” as my replace­ment to the entry level PSU. Well, you know the end­ing… it bro­ken after 6 month! So much for the RM120! So much for the name “Enligth”

For the record, I have even dou­ble my cost for my new PSU! It cost me RM260. The brand? Ener­max; Ener­max Tech­nol­ogy Cor­po­ra­tion http://www.enermax.com.tw/. This is a fuck­ing good PSU! I am using Ener­max Noise­taker 370W.

Few good fea­tures worth men­tion­ing here world be
1) is it fuck­ing silent on the fan even though Dual fan was fix on the PSU itself. This is pos­si­ble though their Ring Core technology.

2) You can adjust the fan’s speed! I love this fea­ture! For gamers this is what you should need to keep your PSU from burning!

3) SATA con­nec­tors, Sep­a­rate 12V rails, last but not least a spe­cial power con­nec­tor for high-end dis­play card (PGU) card. If you have to buy a spe­cial Power con­nec­tor for your GPU & SATA, take my advise change a new PSU because you are about to blow your PC away in a long run with high exces­sive use of power. PSU is like a Heart, don’t use the entry level PSU for your branded or high-end hardware.
