Diagnose and Replace a Dead PSU Power Supply Unit

One of the easiest parts to replace and one of the more lucrative is the power supply or PSU. Wets also very easy problem to diagnose. A customer calls and explaind that their computer will not turn. Wef the computer shows any lights or anything on the screen then the problem is not the power supply. The only light that may be showing is a blinking LED on the power supply indicating its broken. Otherwise the computer wont show any signs of life. Here in California We can easily charge any where from $60 to $75 for this repair including the part. Used power supplies are easy to find in old discarded PCs, at thrift stores, or on craigslist. 

The connections and size of the PSU vary, but are very similar and universal. The main connections youll be looking at are:

  • 20 or a 24 pin ATX connector on the board. 
  • 4 Pin (square) 12V connection
  • 4 Pin Standard 5V/12V drive connection
  • Sata connection (newer computers)


Some older PSUs may not have the connections yours requires. Luckily the wires are normally color coded and can be cut and rewired. An example is the 4 pin (square) connection. Not all PSUs have these. Cut the ATX connection off the old broken unit. Since there are 4 wires twist the 2 yellows together and the 2 black ones together. Grab an extra Standard 4 Pin power connection and shove the yellow exposed wire securely in the slot with the yellow wire leading up to it and the same for black and then tape it up. This way you wont need to go hunting for one with this ATX connection. As always be safe when handling the PSU. The capacitors inside can pack a punch!

An Overview Of DS3 Pricing And General Internet Connectivity

By Judy Sullivan


The business world today has over the years evolved to become more technology and efficiency oriented. This is to say that more and more organizations today seek to achieve efficiency and greater productivity through the use of modern technologies. Great internet connectivity is one tool that organizations today use to achieve the goal of efficiency. While making decisions regarding such connectivity matters, a firm may be required to consider different DS3 pricing ranges and all other rates offered by different digital carrier facilities.

Internet access services from T3 carrier systems are ranked among the first of its kind in the market. Such links allow for greater internet speeds and more secure connections factors which make them ideal or business and formal organizations. With such systems, business premises are usually directly linked to an ISP portal in a bid to maximize data and digital signal transfer.

For such connections to be effected, fiber optic cables are normally used to link the client to an ISP. Theses cables are the most idea for the creation of such infrastructure as they allow for the transmission of signals at high speeds of up to 45 Megabits per second. These high speeds are what make these systems so convenient.

Faster speeds usually translate to grater efficiency and productivity. Thus large institutions could greatly benefit from installing such infrastructure. As such organizations in most cases maintain high traffic websites and handle larger volumes of data; these links would guarantee efficient management of such matters. The needs of big organizations would be suitably accommodated by T3 access lines.

One advantage that a company may attain from having T3 line systems installed is that many users, in terms of employees and clients, would be able to access and use such systems. As a result of great internet speeds and reduced risks of connection failure, company stakeholders would be able to attain more efficiency. This would then translate to greater returns for the organization.

T3 systems, and all other related signal carriers, apart from increasing the speed of internet connectivity ensure that the client maintains a constant presence online. This usually turns out to be an advantage since the firm gets the opportunity to interact with stakeholders and so on. It could also be said that this web presence serves as an asset for a business.

Every business and most learning institutions strive to maintain a certain degree of presence in the field in question. By tapping onto online solutions of this nature, this goal, and every other objective an organization may have would be achieved easily. Thus taking advantage of T3 systems and other like services may be just what is needed at a particular time.

As an organization manager or IT expert, it may be wise for one to form a habit of reviewing different DS3 pricing rates and other related costs. This is because such a move would cause a manger to become well versed with different rates prevailing in the market at a certain point in time. This familiarity with the market is what would ensure that the firm in question makes informed business decisions.

Scenery Terrain and Stations

Lately I find myself turning away from the focal point of the game -- mecha -- and concentrating on the things that make your gaming table look awesome.  I can understand the newcomers being fixated on mecha, they are the playing pieces of MFZ after all.  I just want my playing table to be visually dynamic along with giving visual clues to the story the players are trying to tell.

To accomplish this goal Im building two to three pieces of scenery for each team along with a team-specific station.  I guess you could say my goal is making the equivalent of "that" table.  The one all gamers go "Oooohh" over and drool when they first see it.



This is where I started.  These are built for my team of Spider Mecha.


These guys.


This is my first build for the Butterfly Knight team.  Those are Hover Targets, designed to be target practice for ranged weapons carried by mecha.  Its part of the stations and scenery for these guys.



Here are some Soren designed houses, that I used recently while demoing MFZ at PAX East, and some cars that I made.


And this is what it all looks like when put together with some plant life.


I hope you all like what Ive done and it gives you some inspiration for your own gaming tables.
