[Coco] Power supply

[Bill Pierce]

Good advice Marc, I don't know much about PS manufacturers, but I bought a Dynex. Probably cheap, but someone else was buying so I didn't complain. I will upgrade to a better (and larger) one later. I have to have the computer running as it's the "heartbeat" of my studio. Without this pooter, I don't make money. This pooter runs an 8 channel dac/adc for multitrack recording. The fan quit working on the supply about a year ago and I removed the sides so it could get air. When I took it to my daughter's I replaced the side of the case and I think it got too hot. I should've replaced the fan a long time ago.

glad it worked.
There is a big difference between a cheap P/S and a good one. When a good
one dies, it dies alone. When a cheap one dies, it often kills everything
attached to it. That's the reason I never buy the cheap ones.
