If you have a problem with this thread, it's because you need a larger power supply. 

I have a brand new 1300 watt platinum Antec PSU sat on a shelf. The first one died within 6 months and I bought a 1000w EVGA Titanium one instead planning on selling the replacement Antec. But then I kept it as a backup PSU. It was originally reduced to £149 with an RRP of £299, I didnt even need 1300w. I could have flipped it for £200+ easy, but then I realized a backup PSU is a glorious thing, even though my current one has a 10 year warranty and is meant to be the best of the best, those things can still go boom.
 
After hard drives, PSUs have been the most likely part to die for me, even with expensive highly rated ones.
 
Everytime I see 'generic PSU 850 Watts, only £29.99' in online stores, I want to go and punch whoever manages that store in the face.
 
Thats how your PC (and maybe even you) ends up dying in a fiery explosion, by buying and daring to use one of those.

What if that same 'generic' PSU was £129.99?

Hopefully no one would buy it over a recommendable branded one. Always check reviews, best review site for PSUs is this one:

Is THIS the test..   well, I simply can't ignore it. Won't. Not when my safety is at stake....

No worries mate, just spend your money wisely.........and also take this for back up:

Sorry, CH denizens, but the upstairs needed sweeping. Do with this thread what you will.

Could you not have just locked it and left it where it was to die a natural death ?
 
Now, not only am I going to have to concentrate on ignoring this, I'm also going to have to ignore all the "clever" and "witty" spin-off threads too.
 

Remember to ignore all the spin-off threads that weren't clever or witty too.
