I switched on my magma case today and heard a loud click that suggests its power supply went dead... (could smell it too ) Both pulsar 2 cards probably got fried as well. Am I gonna bother looking for power supply/test that shit/buy back pulsar2s? nope. Sonic core, get us the Xite1, I now have a good reason to buy it

Come on SC, let's Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really doubt the cards are broken...hey just send em to me and i find it out for free;).You pay shipment tho....

HEY!!! you just ruined a good story
you're right though, they're prolly not dead but what the heck, I was waiting for something like this to happen before I'd get the new stuff

SC!!!!! c'mon gimme gimme gimme

my gear lust is now rocking me like solid fuel rocket boosters again

well my puslar 1 has made it 10 years so far... althoughi t has gone through really bad times -.I can`t remember any piece of hardware exept my scsii burner and card which made it that long. esp. asuas boards are crippels. It takes approximately 3 months to blow them off just by standard usage (and that's only if you were that lucky to get a n original, which means you have to be one in a million).

yes SC cards are tough little beasts, lets hope the Xite1 will be the same

for anyone who may be concerned, any atx power supply works with a magma cb2. I replaced it yesterday and it works, the cards are intact

any idea if this is true for the 4-slot chassis as well?
I was told so, but I'd like to hear that from more than one source...

its good to hear that magma gives you such a POS supply considering how much they charge for those things.

The CB2 uses a small 2U PSU, but the CB4 uses a standard ATX PSU.

arf, to their discharge (!) I was using it with the psu cover removed and the fan wires cut (its noise was driving me nuts).. that aggravation was still good to run for ~1000 hours of work

that's great. I will have a CB4 soon, but with a builtin DC PSU. that's why this information is kinda important for me...

Hey, Markus - did that 4 slot Magma case also come with some ATM cards in it?
