I have a long list of parts that died :/

 

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R

Gigabyte GV-NX88X768H-RH (GTX 8800 GTX )

A few odd ram cards

PowerMan 550W PSU

A few seagates and western digitals

Some cheap fan

 

That was time for an upgrade. Best thing was the PSU died. Next week the 8800 Died, one month later the Motherboard died. That was upgrade time XD

Yea same here, when I was looking for a 550w for my system I was thinking of modular but then I thought 'do I really need it' lol

 

I went for an OCZ ZS 550w which is excellent but a modular one now but be quite nice, there isn't anywhere in my case where I can put the cables out of the way, there is just a mass of crap at the bottom and it's ugly lol
