Re: Validate my build
I'm running an AMD FX-8350 here, and it is (as said earlier) extremely fast if you can keep all 8 cores busy. For what I do, I can.
As far as drivers, I have a Radeon HD 7770 video card, which works perfectly fine with the open source "radeon" driver. I think it requires some proprietary firmware blobs, but at least it's not fglrx.

Re: 2 Hard Drives Help.
OK, so if I understand correctly, you're using IDE hard drives, had Xubuntu on what used to be the only drive, then put a hard drive with Windows in the slave spot. Then, it kept booting from the master (Xubuntu) drive, so you did update-grub to make it find Windows?
In any case, at least you got it working.

Re: the gutless, bloated, and fried power supply hall of shame
Speaking of KZGs, I have two ASUS A8AE-LE motherboards from 2007, both have KZGs on the CPU VRM input, and while one board died back in 2013 (super I/O chip blew up) the other is still in use 24/7. No signs of bad caps anywhere, but then again, the CPU is only an AMD Athlon 64 3700+, which runs more or less completely cold.

Re: External Charger for Online UPS
The main problem that I see is that if one set (internal or external) of batteries is near-charged while the other is near-discharged for some reason, then when the power goes out and the batteries are connected together, one set will start charging the other. While this shouldn't ever happen, placing a fuse (with a sane value) in the external string should prevent damage if it does.

Re: why you backup your data.
I have all of my somewhat important data on a RAID 1 array of two 500GB drives, which is then backed up to a third 500GB drive once a week.

Re: USB hubs: electrical power
Still, polyfuses work both ways. If a dangerous amount of power gets "back-fed", it'll still '"trip" it.

Re: The ghetto mod thread
I couldn't afford a space heater with a thermostat, so I found a 12V power brick and a thermostat that wasn't currently being used, and bought a PowerSwitch Tail II. A bit of wiring later, and now I have a space heater with a thermostat....

Re: Adobe Flash woes... again.
I've given up on Flash now (along with Java, and a few other things). I simply refuse to install it on any of my computers.

Re: USB keyboard pinout - Vss
I've burnt up a flash drive that way. I had the USB header connection on the motherboard connected in exactly the "right" way to reverse Vcc and Vss, and D+ and D-, and leave the shield unconnected. The flash drive got very hot and stopped working....

Re: Dell Server PSU Teardown
I've had Ltecs fail after about a year or so in a Delta power supply from a Lexmark C543dn color laser printer. Most of the caps (Ltec and CapXon) were fine, but two Ltecs under one of the heatsinks on the secondary side were bulged.
