        Oops, sorry!

        I know the story is a couple of years old, but I just came across it, so it's new to me. The two nuts added for weight are a hoot, lol. I wonder if lead fishing sinkers would be cheaper or not...

            Reminds me of the Echo star PSU with half a PCB and dummy weights.
            I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

              Makes me laugh to see that picture again. Never gets old. xD
              Recovering a BEFSR41 v1 and v2 router from solid red DIAG Light
              I have two v2s and one v1.

              I am still looking at these boards nearly every day.

              What I'm doing: Planning an upgrade of my mining setup from Block Erupters to Red Furys. Though, if the Block Erupters don't sell, I will keep using them for a while.

                This is not a scam - this is ART! (just don't be the one that gets ripped off, lol ).
