But it's Corsair.

I've recently heard many people having issues with Corsairs within the past couple of years. Some people reported lower quality parts in their newer PSU's. Not sure about quality, that's more or less hearsay. At least I've seen members at Bitcointalk and BitsBeTrippin reporting high failure rates.

the list of atx company that had failed psus

rosewill
seasonic
antec
evga
fractal

notice the major company I left off.  I won't write the name as I do not want to jinx myself.

Atx psu's do break with 24/7 use

Ive had incredible luck with evga, and I will never buy another sea sonic

Ugh Phil, your title on this thread is so depressing! lol

   Mostly this year will be all about buysolar and I trying to build a big array.
I have a friend  with 76 acres of land in south NJ

   I would love to help get it developed  into the largest mining solar flied in the USA. But deals like this are hard to do.
If I could get the ball rolling on this  it would be build 2 acres of panels mine for a year build 3 acres of panels mine for a year.
Then build 5 acres mine for a year so a net of 10 acres four years from now. That is more then 1.1 megawatts at peak devide by 5 you get 200kwatts 24/7 essentially free  or 1 cent a kwatt. (startup costs are not counted in order to say it is free or 1 cent.)

It would be a long time before it goes to 50 or 60 acres.
But there would be a big upside if we do it.

So lets say  the real cost is zero for the land as it is sitting idle.
the panals and inverters are around  660,000 usd  for 10 acres
that is full cost for buysolar
yearly maintenance  10 grand.

Mine 2,000,000 gh of BTC  you earn 25000 a month or 300,000 a year   we know it declines  but 300,000  to start could make it work.
