Well after four years to the day, my power supply on my Gateway 750XL died tonight. This is my main PC, and of course, as Craig said when I annoyed him with my phone call, I bought this PC during the 10 minutes that RAMBUS technology was all the rage. That and the fact that I have the world’s goofiest motherboard, with a 6 pin auxillary power connector.

Craig, my volunteer IT guy (heh), recommended I head down to Best Buy or CC and pick up a new one; however apparently no one has this particular type of power supply locally. I will have to do the mail order thing, so I am PC-less for a week at home. Well not really, I’m using my wife’s laptop, my work PC, and there’s always my Blackberry if I’m really desperate — but my really good stuff isn’t going to be available. Just letting you know. LOL

OTOH, if there’s anyone that works at a BB/CC out there and knows if any of their power supplies have that silly 6 pin aux connector, please let me know (Note: this is NOT the 6pin PCI-E connector)!!
