.....






Same PSU
Quote:
Pros: this is a very reputable company. Did you know that if you take the power supply out of the box and plug it in it doesn't work. You need to have the new power supply connected to the motherboard, for it to power up and complete the circuit, in order to make sure the power supply is good.

Cons: Not modular

Other Thoughts: this applies to all power supplies to my knowledge.
I have no idea who he was talking to.

HAHA, yeah, I couldn't even finish reading it because the grammar was so poor.

And Panda Man, I think the the second reviewer you quoted was talking about the fact that when the power supply's main 24-pin ATX power cable isn't connected to a motherboard or shorted, it won't power up...

wow... well you CAN power up the power supply without connecting it to the motherboard but I sure as heck am not letting that reviewer know how to, he will start complaining that his PC isn't booting up since that 20/24 pin connector isn't attached







Thanks HL and Corsair!

LOL, guess no one told him USB power has nothing to do with his PSU. dumb ass is probably running it off of a non powered USB hub. This is a perfect example of someone who thinks way to hard and made his problem allot harder then it really was in the first place.

Wow, the only two reviews for the ZEROtherm BTF95 CPU Cooler are rediculous!

Quote:
Pros: I just got one of these babies today, and installed it right away! I've been following some tech site for a while now, and this product was just too good to resist. It's one of the best coolers I've had in my years of experience. This thing doesn't need a fan, as the patented butterfly wings flap at a rate so fast that you cannot see, but it is there, working, and cooling your CPUs. The cooler is so high powered that it actually lifted my computer off the ground with it's mad airflow. I love this product as I can now use my horizontally floating computer case as a chips and Coke table while I play WoW in my parents' basement.

Cons:
It floats and flies.. You might not like that part of it, but I do.
Quote:
Pros: The product itself looks well made. I would definately buy this product.

Cons: I don't have a girlfriend to buy it for and build her computer... The product also doesn't have a fan, which means your case needs some good airflow.

Other Thoughts: I never owned this product, but it is now on my wishlist. Right next to "get a girlfriend".
