How long DID you run this for?

I was curious so I dug. His first post in 2006 said he had a 3600M and a 2000. But 5 months later (8/11/06) he said he was "sticking with" the 4600. So he's been running his beast (or at least running some 4600) for over 13 years!

When he said he was "sticking with it, it will last a long time," Dave (Person99) snarked at him, obviously not believing a lowly Ampro would last very long. I'd say Papalek got the last laugh on that one. Very Happy

Nice Search-Fu Gary! Dave snarking at someone?! No, I'd never believe it!

As alway when dealing with P99 you needed a shovel and hip waders to deal with his crap. LOL

This is how I managed to finally solve the HVPS failure problem.

Heat sink on main chips and you have to cut o hole in the cover for it to fit through. Small fan on the end to draw air though the circuits. Fans connected to the chassis fans.

I do have to say I am very impressed with the pic this is making on my 10ft wide screen. I did order a new bulb for it because this one is close to the end of it’s lifespan. I can just imagine what it will look like with the new bulb
