I was happy with my Aurora that I got off ebay, despite the protests of fellow forums users. As for the PSU bracket, it did come with one but I believe even without it any standard PSU should fit in there with no problem.

I have quite a mysterious problem with my graphics card. I know that my motherboard is faulty, but my graphics card simply refuses to power up ONLY when I am at home. At various friends' and technicians' locations, it will, but only when I attempt to start it up at home will it fail to. Perhaps...

Well, my old desktop has finally given up on me, and the motherboard is discontinued so I will not bother. I shall miss the P4 goodness. So recently, I've been attempting to build a new machine. I am somewhat of a hardcore gamer, mostly of fps games :p so I will need quite a bit of power to run...

I'm mufasa99, and my recent research into building a new computer has brought me here. I hope to expand my knowledge of computers here. :D
