Title: 220. 221. Whatever it takes.
Post by: gryhnd on June 19, 2010, 03:26:11 pm: When you get that kick ass new power supply from China (cough cough), remember not to start bitching and moaning when it isn't performing to spec...because YOU (me) forgot to check the input voltage switch. That's right, it was set to 230V not 115V.

:banghead:

Aaaah! :censored:

I thought this was going to be a Mr Mom thread when I saw it.

Really? Huh. I might expect that the other way around (switch on 115 and you plug it into 230)...but usually they just don't work or, as in my case, sorta suck :)

Yes it is.

If you liked the Airplane movies you may like Top Secret!. Instead of disaster movies it is a mash-up of WWII and Elvis movies. One of my favorites.

It could've been. I don't remember anymore.
