You don't miss it till it's gone!

'Tis a sad day in the Lobster abode.  I knew I was in trouble when I got home frmo the golf course this afternoon and Mrs. Lobster was sitting on the couch flipping through 3 month old magazines.  The power supply crapped out on me!  In just over 3 months of service the Coolmax 400W power supply just stopped working.  Unfortunately, a PSU is one of the few items I don't have kicking around the attic.  So, I just dosconnected the cable box from everything and hooked it up to the TV.  imagine this world:

No pause or rewind (Huh!?)

No recorded TV (Flintstones, meet the Flintstones!)

No movies without getting up and putting an actual DVD in the 360 (gasp!)

No music without again, putting a CD into the 360 (barbaric!)

Having to sit here and watch commercials (Oh the humanity!)

So, a quick trip to New Egg and I've got a new PSU on order.  However, imagine it...no MCE whatsoever!  I might as well read a book!

I know the feeling... I had a HDD go out and had to rebuild OS on internal HDD.. Since I work from home just figured I put in some OT... I'm not terribly disappointed when a piece of hardware fails in my MCE... People should keep in mind that not even the box you get from your provider is fault tolerant... Just rememeber to keep your system running as cool as possible, try to keep good air flow around the CPU and your fans free from dust/obstacles...

Yup, It's tuff, Your at a point in your life when you think you'll never get through it. But you will. And then one day you will look back at this point in time, (when you have a working MCE ), and say "I hope I never hit bottom like that again, Maybe I should build another PC, just in case." :)
