Another Power Supply Bites The Dust

Yep. Lost another one. Now I am currently using an extremely overpriced and very temporary power supply from Best Buy. Which will be returned as soon as the new one I'm going to order in the next 20 minutes gets here. Seriously, who charges $80 for a 430W power supply? I can get a comparable one for less than half that online. And don't try and tell me that the SATA connectors cost an extra $40, because I'm pretty sure they don't.

In Other News, I have recently found out where half of the last chase scene in The Italian Job came from. MacGyver episode #3, Thief of Budapest. Everything from the signal manipulation, to the red, white, and blue Mini Coopers, to the underground driving. I was a wee bit surprised. And very amused.

[EDIT] Ardith gets zero points for not finishing her research in her hurry to spend money online. See, the original version of the movie came out in 1969 as Wilson so aptly pointed out. This means, of course, that I shall have to sign up for Netflix, and watch the original version. And then draw up a lovely diagram pointing out all the similarities and differences between the three, and send it to Wilson for his birthday.
