My Laptop is an Elitebook 8470P. It's serial number is CNU317xxxx (Chinese serial number), and would have been purchased in the US (I have no way of confirming this, but I bought it used from a person in the US). I believe my brothers 8470W has a Malaysian serial number, and it has a has an arbic layout keyboard and would have been purchased in Saudi Arabia. Every HP Laptop (That isn't a workstation) that I have dealt with has had Chinese serial numbers Every HP Workstation I have dealt with has had Malaysian serial numbers Most HP Business Desktop I have dealt with have had Australian serial numbers Serial numbers doesn't mean where they are sold, they are often just generic.

I'm quite sure that isn't ATX form factor and will be higher than ATX. I have dealt with HP D330uT (model before the DX6100) and the DX7300uT (Model shortly after the DX6100). D330 is a completely custom form factor, DX7300 supporting ATX and D3300 form factor PSUs, whilst the stock PSUs being the width of ATX and the height of D330 PSUs. No, the issue isn't amperage, it's about the type of load. That HP PSU is designed for a Pentium D, which requires lots of power from the 12V rails. Your Pentium 3 on the other hand requires lots of power from the 5V. The problem with group regulated PSUs is; The PSU doesn't know how much power each rail is drawing, other than the total power draw, so corrects it based on the ratio it expects the power usage to be around. If you use parts that use very different power ratios, your voltage will be out of spec on a group regulated PSU, because as the names suggest, the rails are regulated as a group. DC to DC (Which your CX850 has), converts all the power to 12V, then drops it down for the minor rails, which causes all the rails to remain in-spec when an unexpected load happens.

No, the problem is not the current for the particular rail, but the power distribution for all the rails. (Also, a CX 850 is DC to DC, so that's perfectly fine for really anything that doesn't require -5V) Lets compare 2 PSUs I have, a Liteon PS-6361-4HFD (ATX 2.2), and a Ipex ST-221WHT (AT). Liteon: 5V - 19A (95W) 3.3V - 24A (79W) 12V (Combined) - 24.5A (294W) -12V - 0.15A (2W) Total Wattage: 470W^ 5V: 95W/370 = 20% 12V: 294/270 = 63% The PSU estimates that 20% of the load will be 5V, and 63% will be on 12V, so will correct for voltage drop with that ratio, because that's what it is forced to do. Ipex 5V - 22A (110W) 12V - 7A (84W) -5V - 0.5A (3W) -12V - 0.5A (6W) Total Wattage: 203W^ 5V: 110/203 = 54% 12V: 84/203 = 41% The PSU estimates that 54% of the load will be on 5V, and 41% will be on 12V, so will correct for voltage drop with that ratio, because that's what it is forced to do. ALSO, ISA slots do require -5V, but it is possible that whatever you have plugged into that ISA slot, doesn't require -5V ^Going by max amps rating on each rails, not rated wattage

You said it's from a PGA 478 PC, and is for a PGA 370 PC? Don't. PGA 370 was much more 5V dependent, whereas PGA 478 was getting towards 12V dependent, and that HP will be group regulated. Also, that HP will not have -5V, so no ISA for you. You'll want DC to DC if you are putting it into that old computer, and you will need to not require -5V.

Shame on you. On a similar note, I went to a friend of mine's house. She had a professionally taken series of photos of her and her GF on the wall. I don't think I'd want to be "that kind" of person, but that was like wow, was very beautiful.

It does.

I've kept that screen. might make it into a monitor side panel, not sure though.

Ive had a fair few CCFL laptop screens go bad, but that could have been because they were newer models.

Factory Refurbished means it was returned, put in new packaging, and is being resold. No repairing has occurred. However, corsair factory refurbished products have a 1 year warranty only iirc

Bitch, literally the entire point of the Nokia 3310, which was released in 2000. And Nokia 3310s were everywhere, (except North America, because their networks were stupid). Saying that a phone is a tool, and you shouldn't worry about what it looks like is stupid. A phone shows identity.

Because of travelling to Uni. Wednesday, - woke up at 4.30AM, arrived home at 9.15PM. Thursday, - woke up at 6.00AM, arrived home at 9.15PM. Friday, - woke up at 5.00, TBD, but likely later. Yay, I'm clearly living the dream.

What do you think the bedroom set is for?

Swinburne email address are clearly the best [9 numbers]@student.swin.edu.au.

I think Julia from NCIX was also in one.

Congrats. Are you saying I should go to confur? Thanks, good choice.

Confur is this weekend, I'm considering if I should go to a single day.

Do not open your PSU, one being it's dangerous, two being it will void your warranty, three being it does nothing. Your PSU is fine, don't worry about it. If it's unbearably loud, maybe discuss with a corsair rep about RMA'ing before attempting an RMA.

Batchelor IT. I've decided, I'm going, I'll be fine.

I found out uni started today for me, like 2 hours after my last class ended, and I haven't got my timetable yet, so don't know what I have tomorrow, plus I already have something planned tomorrow... Fuck...

As deep as the fox?

Why would you? The case is practically the same. On another note, I'm surprised that the uT and the ST both use BTX form factor motherboards. That wasn't the case with the HP Compaq DX7200 and earlier.

Australia's Deputy PM - Barnaby Joyce, it has just been announced that the reason why he got a divorce during the SSM debate, was because he was having an affair. And that woman is now pregnant. I think that really clashes with the reason he gave to counteract SSM, "Marriage is between a man and a woman, so they can have children". What a fucking cunt.

I'm aware of that, don't you worry about that. I just didn't want to spend an hour coming up with a reply if "the tier" pops up. The problem with travel adapters is; they are often poorly designed. and are poorly made.

The TX-M would be better than the past generation HX. I would get the TX650M

Please talk in terms of Celcius, it just gets confusing, that's what people just talk in terms with. Also, 55°C is fine, like your GPU is fine anywhere up to 85°C or so.
