Jul 29 07:14:20 <bkero> 111!!!!!
Jul 29 15:07:28 <tinker-f595> kblin: Globalscale has replacement power supplies for 10 USD
Jul 29 15:09:51 <kblin> tinker-f595: I've soldered a barrel connector to the power cord and connected a 5V supply to that
Jul 29 15:10:08 <tinker-f595> oh good you got it working again
Jul 29 15:10:57 <tinker-f595> I have had mine booted for over a year with no problems
Jul 29 15:11:02 <kblin> yeah, thanks for thge hint though
Jul 29 15:11:35 <kblin> well, the first time my PSU blew out I had it connected to a non-powered usb drive
Jul 29 15:11:58 <kblin> but since I got my replacement in november, I've had it hooked up to a powered usb drive
Jul 29 15:12:27 <tinker-f595> kblin: I run with a USB powered drive hanging off of mine
Jul 29 15:12:59 <kblin> so maybe you're one of the lucky few who got good caps? :)
Jul 29 15:13:13 <tinker-f595> it is an old 2.5" hitachi drive I had in my junk pile that I put in a Macally 2.5 " enclosure
Jul 29 15:13:42 <tinker-f595> good caps and a drive enclosure / combo that draws low wattage
Jul 29 15:15:07 <tinker-f595> kblin: For about the past 10 years or so there has been "fake" electrolytic capacitors in the supply chain.  Some big name board manufacturers have been hit with the problem
Jul 29 15:15:49 <kblin> yeah. I remember the MSI problem ~7 years ago
Jul 29 15:24:58 <tinker-f595> oh this is interesting --- announcement about the heat problem with the GuruPlug Server Plus and when the new design starts shipping and the availability of free upgrade kits http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/news.aspx?showarticle=5
Jul 29 15:27:50 <themill> a fan!?
Jul 29 15:37:07 <tinker-f595> themill: I wonder how much power that will consume?
Jul 29 15:37:23 <themill> "no moving parts"
Jul 29 15:38:08 <flopflip> yeah but they react
Jul 29 15:38:12 <flopflip> which is a good thing...
Jul 29 15:38:23 <themill> absolutely
Jul 29 15:38:24 <flopflip> even tho we have to pay s/h again -.-
Jul 29 15:38:59 <flopflip> all in all i am disappointed by globalscale :/
Jul 29 18:12:51 <bkero> MostAwesomeDude: http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/news.aspx?showarticle=5
Jul 29 18:20:02 <Plax> fans suck :(
Jul 29 18:20:43 <bkero> Yea, having a nonfunctioning plug sucks further.
