It's too bad that technology has advanced so far that even a crappy set up still works (barely)!!

hehe... that's quite the setup. So many power bars, cables and quite the mess for just two computers, lol. Hope you gave them hell.

Computers always do their job no matter how crappy the setup is it just has to be comfortable to the end user. |

keep telling yourself that when you have to replace your power supply every 6 months because it's full of cat hair, or because it has voltage drop outs, or surges (as from that picture where the computer was probably plugged into the same power bar as that fridge)
but i guess as long as you can get to the chair and type your logic applies.. |

ohhhhh yea i gave them hell alright. that computer is on its third motherboard as of last week because of weak voltage. the fridge, thankfully, is on it's own plug. and their logic was simply to sit down and surf until windows wouldnt boot, then i'd get the phonecall. the other computer is older and it never had problems, probably cause it was on a power strip that was direct to the wall

even line conditioning would not help, since they are going through so many power bars, even if the line is conditioned it will still cause harmonics and drops throughout the length of the powerbars......
and yeah i have line conditioning on my machines here, every time the AC kicks in i hear the relay on my ups snap closed.. :P
(outside AC + old house = bad electrical) |

If that was a business, he should be glad the fire inspector did not catch that. I am notorious for catching and citing Daisy's. Cant stand them. I hit one of our government contractors with 214 violations, and over half of them were Daisy's. OH MAN do they hate me now!!

Smokeater...like you, if I see a Daisy, they are unplugged immediately. When doing my inspections, I get nosey looking under desks and tables for unsafe wiring practices. I have found extension cords running through holes in walls, around and under doors and even going up and through drop ceilings.
If no one is mad at you....then you are not doing your job.

Are you a inspector? And if you are when you unplug them immediately, do you ever give them time to shut down the computers properly? Cause if you go ahead and unplug them, and they lose some data, you are risking of being sued your pants off. |

1 edit | I am a fire inspector. They are unplugged by the user after he/she shuts down the computer. The other wiring found that I wrote about (extension cords), they are giving time to correct it. But that depends what is plugged into it and any other safety issues, if they have to correct it immediately. And I do follow up.

u might like this place then. after careful inspection of the room the only outlet in there is behind the fridge. very interesting, but the computer in question is plugged into it's own powerstrip directly into the wall.
