It ran for about 8 months continuously. A month ago I rebooted it, and 
the BIOS refused to proceed due to the CPU temperature. I vacuumed the 
fluff out of it, and then it worked fine for another month. Unplugged it 
all, drove it down the road, plugged it in... nothing. Absolutely dead. 
When you hit the switch, the fans twitch, and that's it. Even the power 
light seemed dimmer... damned weird.

Still, this is my first modular PSU. Usually you pay £££ for that, but 
this PSU was a mere £30, which isn't bad. Some of the cables where a 
little shorter than I'd like, and they're all sheathed so they're a bit 
stiff and don't want to unbend, but otherwise I'm really happy with it.

> is the bandwidth worth the price ?

Well, I'm not sure. To get broadband, you have to have telephone service 
as well, which is probably why it's so pricey. (The actual broadband 
component itself is only £16/month, and it's 40 MBit/sec, which is 
absurdly fast.)

OK...
