On a personal note...
by Michael Arsenault on Friday, July 08, 2011 , under
So it seems that something rather unfortunate has come up. During a casual game of Team Fortress 2 my computer suddenly froze up and then all of a sudden my power supply exploded. It seems the PSU couldn't take on the intensity of TF2. Smoke filled my computer and left several burn marks all over, thus ending the life cycle of my power supply which was said to last me 7 years rather lasting me 2 years. Anyways this kind of sucks, it will probably be about $100 for a new one. Anyway just thought I'd share another one my downfalls, this also brings up something I should mention, when it comes to purchasing hardware it's probably best to check which company your buying from. Some companies receive a lot of positive feedback and others don't. Oh well story of my life.
