Hrm. It seems that this new, quiet Seventeam power supply that I got isn’t that great after all. Today I turned off my machine to try changing out the cache and it wouldn’t turn back on. It seems something is hosed in the new power supply. So now I have to try and return one via mail order and also hope that the one I ordered for Sarah and Craig’s PC doesn’t suffer the same problem. Guess I’ll just have to burn it in extra good.
I thought the PS had killed the motherboard. Luckily that didn’t happen… I thought my machine was going to get it’s long overdue (and currently unaffordable) upgrade tomorrow. Ah well, heh. That’s all right. At least things are back to normal… Now I just need to figure out the fibre channel performance issue. Right now I’d get better speed out of selling it all and going to two striped IDE disks. :( At least I know that the 256MB of cache aren’t causing a problem. Hopefully it’s my old motherboard.
