New gear

Just got done installing a few new tid-bits. Since my previous P/S was a POS, I picked up one of those fancy Antec TruePower 330w suckers. I think they might want to use shorter wires in any new models, but it's a snap to drop in. With the old P/S I had 0.4v drops on everything, and some pretty wild spiking on the +5 line. I think this Antec has caughed twice, and not more than 0.05v on either occasion! I'm gonna send those boys a beer! :aok:

If you're in the market for a headset, you might want to try Logitec's Premium Stereo rig. It's a bit of a skull-crusher, which means it won't slide of your head, and it puts out great sound. Though in MOHAA it sounds like someone cranked the midrange up too high. Still, it's not bad for $25. Music plays a lot more richly than any other headset I've owned, and sound outside of MOHAA is pretty good. UT2k3, RtCW, AH, M$FS 2k4, and LFS all have great audio now. And it even does 3D spatial effects with nary a glitch! With my previous headset, I'd hear muffled sound when an event occured behind my 3-9 line. The headset actually "warps" the sound to give a clear idea of what's going on back there. Twice in MOHAA I heard gunfire clear as a bell at my right 5, and both times it blew my mind. Guaranteed ratings grabber in my book.

Muahahaha, your wimpy 330W is no match for my 500W!
