Does it have an 8 pin connector that splits into 2? One for the cpu and one for the 20+4. Unlikely I suppose because if it did it would probably also have a 24 pin MB connector

afraid not, Steve, it's only got the one 20 pin and one 4 pin which is needed for the separate 4 pin connector on the MB, it's just over 4 years old so I assume it was manufactured before they started using 24 pin connectors on MBs. $:-\$

I never joined the Boy Scouts when I was a youngster, David, perhaps I should have.

Rik · Jan 12, 2009, 15:57:19

I tried to join the Girl Guides, but they wouldn't let me.

that must be where I went wrong as well, Rik, they wouldn't let me in either.

Miserable bunch. I looked at the title, "Scouting for boys", and thought "That's not for me...".

True, Rik, it's much more interesting "Scouting for girls".

Ray · Jan 12, 2009, 16:03:59

Seconded

Steve · Jan 12, 2009, 16:11:09

Had enough trouble with tent poles without joining the Girl Guides.

12v 15A. I think you need a Car Battery if you've got one spare or not using it today.

Anyone else remember those HT batteries for valve radios?

Steve · Jan 12, 2009, 16:16:03

Yes, Rik.

Rik · Jan 12, 2009, 16:20:09

They were fun, it was so exciting - the sense of danger that came with such high voltages. At least, at a tender age, before I really understood they were relatively safe.

Real woodlike bakerlite....wait ten minutes you wont hear much but it will keep you warm......I have still got mine

Im thinking of getting a transisitr radio and move into the 60s

Steve · Jan 12, 2009, 16:31:59

I wouldn't mind a valve Amp, adds literally a bit of warmth to music,you can even get them for your ipod complete with docking station

Now that takes me back a bit.

Steve · Jan 12, 2009, 16:56:53

Its about £300 for that piece of kit though, I do wonder whether its anything more than an expensive gimmick.

Rik · Jan 12, 2009, 16:58:30

Not really, Steve, but it is a nice looking expensive gimmick.

Ray · Jan 13, 2009, 16:20:40

Well my Home Server is now back together with the OS re installed and downloading about 50 updates, when they are complete I just have to re install my software and add ins and reconnect the 2 storage HDs and then I should be in business again.

Just in time for 'patch Tuesday', Ray.
