[simpits-tech] Power Supply

[Robert Bibber]

Nah - I'll just leave the HD on there. I have an OLD SCSI drive in my desk drawer that I know I'll NEVER use in a computer because newer EIDE drives are faster so I have that plugged into the PSU for a load - besides, it makes a nice sound :-D

BTW - Thanks everyone for all the help!
