My final post
Here's my last post people. It's intentionally metaphorical to disguise rather serious concerns that I have with well, I'd rather not say more. I'm fully aware that being such a bad egg myself I'm in no position to express such concerns but then again I should at least have the right to propose my thoughts as a separate entity detached from my own personal self, right? For all its worth it could prove useless but who knows if there's a slight chance that it could benefit others or even promote change. Well, here goes:
I recently found out that my 450w PSU just doesn't quite cut it for my system. So I bought one that's 600w to replace the other one and now it seems that my system is running as it should or does it really? Without doing much research and out of laziness I just opted for the cheapest one and now I begin to think that it's probably a bad idea to do so. I can't go back to the store to replace this one because I have no money or the time to do so. Besides I wouldn't think the store would let me as it’s "against their policy". I envy those people who have better, more expansive branded 600 watt power supplies. The reviews I've read show that theirs have higher performance and would assure a top performing computer. In fact what I've read makes me think that with my power supply my system would actually fail. It is arguable that I can produce similar or better tangible work out of my system i.e. I could possibly make better music or digital art with my system compared to the other person with a better power supply. Yet this point is irrelevant as the initial assumption based on the power supply that I have "clearly" shows that my results would be mediocre at best. I really regret not having a good power supply. Obviously having one gives a "clear" indication of one's computer performance and capabilities regardless on whether such performance or capabilities are utilized or not. I guess with power supplies, just like many other things in life, it all boils down to the same old widely accepted notion that "if it looks good on paper, then it sure is."
p/s: do look for and "mind" the irony and sarcasm... at the least.
