PC World Community: PC World Dream PC Build: First Video, New Power Supply, Front Panel

Shot the first video today with the uber-talented (He'll have to be to make me look good!) Chris Manners, PC World's videographer. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be, though staring at a red light and trying to turn my normal ramblings into something more cohesive and concise still isn't my idea of a great time. I think it's scheduled to post next Tuesday. Take a look and tell me what you think--but only if you like it, I'm truly a delicate soul. Nah, just kidding. Blast away.

Seriously, it seems as if there's only one power supply in the universe that supports dual EPS12V sockets out of the box, Thermaltake's ToughPower W1033 and there's supposedly one in the mail. I could've futzed up something with wire strippers and a soldering iron, but though I do good work it wouldn't have felt right. Here's hoping the Thermaltake shows before the end of the week so I can actually fire this sucker up and do something other than point and chant "Shiny, shiny..."

For the reader that requested it, the front panel features from left to right: reset button, power button, power and HD activity lights, fan speed rotary control, backlit water flow indicator, four USB ports, audio in and out, and a IEEE 1394 port. I'd show you the picture I took, but basically it's so fuzzy as to be useless, so I stole the one below from the manual.

L8tr folks.
