Anyway, I just heard that they "killed" the PC recently. LOL! I wonder what happened. I will probably drop by to have a looksie when I go back to Penang this weekend.

unfortunately, no i wasn't
i was just pointing out the fact that although i still think of myself as a computer enthusiast and a part time gamer, my pc's so antiquated that i'm not able to play most games anymore

yes i do realise that we should be focusing on the deed, but it was the first thing that came to my mind when i saw the specs

Well, no worries. This is a good time to get yourself a new C2D system!

Found the problem. You wouldn't believe what it was... THE HARD DRIVE!

I have no idea how it happened but there appears to be a short in the Seagate 120GB hard drive. When it's plugged in, the PSU won't start up. Remove it and the PSU starts up.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Adrian Wong · 29th Jun 2007, 09:46 AM

Just a long-delayed update. I swapped out the dead drive for a 320GB hard drive. And I'm happy to report, their PC's running great.

You bought a new HDD for them?

Actually, I gave them my 320GB which I bought a couple of months ago for backup. Now have to rely on a smaller 120GB that I just bought.

HDD is really dirt cheap now. I just bought W5000AAKS for RM420.
