yeah that's ghetto enough to be in here.... well atleast you didn't think it'd be a good idea to use twistie ties on an power cable you know the ones with wire in the middle they tend to turn into small but very effective transformers and can cause nice little fires to happen

they can turn into transformers only when there is a alternating voltage And if the circuit is closed. :p

Fark de you know what i meant I just couldn't think of the right word :p

the thin wire picks up the electrical field generated by the wires in the molex and because the case is grounded it sets up an current draw the thin wire in the twistie tie gets hot and causes the plastic around it to catch fire.... trust me I've seen it happen about 4yrs ago a customer bought in a pc that had the exact same scenario all be it the PC was deader than a door knob

I agree.... I use them once in awhile with no issues. one or two wraps over a properly insulated wire and a coated tie may produce a small inductive current but it would be in the millivolt range if it produces anything at all.

i do that just to make those cable as tight as possible since i cant find any hole to tie that, and thas fine. ive calculated it and make sure the cable is pretty safe to tie, and so far it looks good :toast:

it's kinda surprising how many people use old psu's for 12 volt equipment,

i have one for powering my window fans and cupboard lights,
i use a Round Pin Plug and socket (5AMP)

on my equipment, as it keeps others from blowing my stuff up :laugh:
plus i can use the center pin for 5 volt bits n pieces:D

plus i can use the center pin for 5 volt bits n pieces:D

you find that suprising, especially you Dr. Emulator? :D
i use an old two old 250w and 350w PSU from some broken rigs, to power both my Radfans (which you should know if you dont live halfside by the moon, and have ever watercooled + read the natural aspired PC Watercooling or Sexy Hardware, i have the biggest rad on the forums stil, epeen, lol:laugh:)

i also tend to use he 250w PSU as a way of charging my lithium polymer cellpacks for my airsofts and my electric boxmag for my m4 airsoft,and using the 5v supply for testing the durability and workings of the gun and/or the magazine... if anyone is interested into Airsoft, just give a call, i like to know/think about tech and ways to make it what you want it to do, and as we know, you americas are pretty good in that, as your wepons law regards them as "Toys" (here in Germany, they are regared as free weapons, like pepper pistols/guns, air rifles, crossbows and bows, and stuff like that... its true!

In Germany its easier to own a crossbow than anything shooting real bullets, no matter if its small caliber or not (even tho, with a weapon card, the small calibers and single/double shotguns are kinda cheap at a price under 50€, just for the gun itself... Ammo is never really that cheap tho aquireable, with friends or in the shop....big caliber hunting rifles?

Well,you need to have a (very expensive, very difficult to aquire) hunters license, and even then you have a limit to the amount of guns you can buy,whether it are first weapons or rifles... you can have more guns i thnk when youre are just in a shooting club (which to get into is easy as long as you never had a noticeable criminal incident in your record, is pretty easy, even tho you still need to shoot at least 1-2 years in that Club to be allowed to purchase your own guns (Guns are very heftility controlled here,harder than anywhere else in the World, but we, and especiallly the southern Germans (Bavarians and wannabe Germans like that ( Not Switzerland, because is its own country, they just do their stuff,are not even a member of the "Euro-Zone" and have much looser laws on weaponry, especially for inhabitants (the Soldiers are allowed and encouraged to take their Steyr Aug Assault Rifles home with them, and put it beneath the bed sometimes, even worser than Americans.) :D:laugh: i also heard, that Fullauto is by far not that problematic as it is in literally every country i know and have played in, besides Denmark, where the Laws are like they are supposed to be, people tune themselves mad, and really know whats going on in a Gearbox, unlike in Germany, where most people wont even touch their GB because they fear to break something.

/ Rant over,again open for exclusive and intelligent useful ghetto mods :D

btw dr emulator nice golden bullet connectors ( i guess thats what is meant) are they 10 mm? still have a couple of this size i think

it's a plug and socket :p but they are great for 12 volt equipment, we used to use them in britain for many years before they changed the electric mains 240volt sockets and plugs
to a standard type (pictured)ae235.jpg

before that apparently you had to use many types of adaptors to plug different things in such as radios (they needed 2 adaptors to work :wtf:) why ? well because they were 2amps they needed plugging into a 5 amp adaptor then the 5 amp needed plugging into a 13 amp:twitch: one bad thing about these 5 amp plugs is they Don't have fuses,so you have to put an in-line fuse in place

anyways here's my ghetto mod :shadedshu








yes i have a few external drives :laugh::D
