With PSUs you just need to make sure it's got the right connectors. Most PSUs these days will come with at least 4 SATA power connectors, a couple of IDE power connections (for legacy hardware) and a 20+4 pin ATX power connector (so it's compatible with both 20-pin and 24-pin motherboards), a 4-pin +12V plug. Some cheaper ones may not have as many SATA connectors, or don't have the IDE connectors. Some only have a 24-pin ATX power connector. More expensive ones may have more SATA cables, and 6-pin, 8-pin, or 6+2-pin PCI-e connectors (usually needed for high-powered graphics cards). Some are modular, so you can connect the cables that you need.

Just make sure you get a power supply that meets all your requirements (not just wattage).

I'm prone to doing that after a particularly shitty day, but somehow despite feeling very rattled and fight-or-flighty on Tuesday, I resisted temptation. Trying to see how I get along with more sleep instead.

Having failed in Theresa Villiers to suspend the assembly and getting the assembly to sabotage itself the DUP have taken their ball and gone home, resigning from all but one of their ministerial posts.

This is maybe the greatest thing that has ever happened.

Went up Snowdon yesterday. Quite impressed I got up it considering how wank my knee is.

Never been, but a guy I'm going with has been a few times, and he says it's everything you think x10. So, i may never return, forever lost in Munich.

I've been to the Cannstatter Volksfest before - the smaller equivalent in Stuttgart a few weeks before Oktoberfest. Was still fucking incredible though.

This is the Volksfest: http://s2.germany.travel/media/content/ ... er_RET.jpg

And inside each of those marquees looks like this:

Never went to anything like it. When I was in Stuttgart I only did the Weihnachtsmarkt. Think its the biggest in Europe. Definitely worth a visit. Heard conflicting info. Some say Oktoberfest is 200EUR some say its free and I was never close enough to seriously price it up, living probably ~4-5 hours away from Munich.

Went to plenty of breweries though, sure there are more breweries than churches.

I can seriously not remember if I paid to get into the Volksfest. I was that sloshed.

1L steins of beer go down very easily compared to measly 1pt glasses.

Have the same problem. Come back to the UK and wonder why beer is served in thimbles.

Stuttgart itself was an hour and a bisschen away so not exactly on my doorstep or anything. Frankfurt was my closest city that had homeless people with aids convinced 1EUR would cure them.
