I got home last night excited to find my replacement power supply had arrived.
- It’s the same model – yay! all my modular power cords will still work with this unit.
- It’s reconditioned – ok, fair enough, these are out of production and mine was over 2 years old.
- It’s blue.
WTF? While I’m super glad to have a fully functional PSU again, and it only set me back about $15 in shipping, I wasn’t expecting this aesthetic twist. I had this whole silver / red theme going and boom, they send me a blue replacement for my chrome original. Since only the unit was replaced and not all the modular cables, I’m now stuck with red braided cables coming from the blue PSU. The icing on this monstrosity is it has fans with blue LEDs which can’t be turned off.
Oh well, it looks like I’m perfectly prepared now for MillionManLan which falls over July 4th!

I kind of like the whole fire and ice thing you have going there.
Ohhh, fire and ice…looks like you’ve got a new concept. (I like that Joe!)
