Power supplies may be the only thing you shouldn't skimp on for [H]ardFolder machines. No more PowMax or Deer for me.
I'm sure you could just go to Radio Shack and grab a few replacements... as long as you know how to solder : ).racercarl said:Had one boxen die today, the caps in the motherboard are leaking, hangs up when trying to start in a different part everytime.![]()
I wonder if the caps off my other dead motherboard will work, must check this out as it would be to easy of a fix![]()

Fujiwara Takumi said:haha that reminds me of when i bought my monitor. I asked what the refresh rate was cuz it wasnt on the box or the sign. He starts reading the box, but reading OTHER "features" that I was aware of but not terribly interested in. So instead of buying my $500 monitor at best buy I went to Circuit City who had the proper information on the sign. well, not that I blame the kid, that's what happens when you're only willing to pay $8 an hour for interaction with your customers.
Fujiwara Takumi said:anyway: topic relevance, i have not lost parts to folding, but what do you think is so poor with your power supplies that they keep failing?
Scorpionjwp said:I just lost my dual slot 1 in the line of duty, it sucks when flashing a bios goes wrong.
But at least I can take the pair of 450mhz slot1 processors and put them into my netserver. Along with the memory that a folder sent me I can get this folding shortly, on a wireless internet connection.

yup yup yup.
edit: forgot to mention some things:
1. if you look at the image name on the HD pic, you'll see "324gb_of_crap.jpg". those are 12 27gb 5400RPM western digital hard drives. they all suck, and are all dead. if you want a go at fixing one we might be able to ship one (or more) to you.
2. the 6 motherboards are all dead due to caps/voltage circuit in general. really not cool, but... not much i can do (i can use a soldering iron, but i don't have the mosfets i think they need)
think thats it.
those aren't directly killed from folding. more along the lines of "they died so their host machine could fold"... our farm is built from machines that had components die in them at the school my dad runs the computers for. so without their deaths, the machines we have would not fold. well, they would... just not yet. working on getting the school running (again).BossNoodleKaboodle said:you killed all those HDD's folding???
