$600+ insurance check from USPS with minimum hassle.

On Saturday my wife received a final check from bankruptcy court for lost wages from our former employer who went bankrupt back in 2008. We filed the claim in 2009 for layoffs that violated the WARN Act (companies over a certain number of employees are required to give 60 days notice (or pay the 60 days wages)).
Didn't think we would see anything else as the last partial payout was in 2013/14!

Just watched the first episode of Blue Planet 2, this hands down is the best visual TV experience I've had to date! If you get the chance watch it!

Didn't know there was a Blue Planet 2. Loved the first one and Life when they came out.

Same thing just happened to meearlgreytoast wrote:$600+ insurance check from USPS with minimum hassle.
My first time filing a claim with USPS and was expecting a lot of hassle per all the EB stories. I filed last Wed and the check came today.

I actually got denied the first time, had to resubmit proof, then got the check. Took a month altogether.

The replacement is already on its way.
Follow up, real +1 to Corsair. Sent one of their newest model as replacement, fully modular. Saving for a build next year.
Wow nice frank. Corsair has the best customer service hands down. What do you have planned for your future build?
Edit: Hope it didn't fry any other components when it went down! I've heard some horror stories from failed PSUs

I had the opposite happen, replacement Thermaltake sent a spike through some albeit older power sata adapters and fried a few of my drives. Backups are rule #1.conorh03 wrote:Wow nice frank. Corsair has the best customer service hands down. What do you have planned for your future build?

The Thermaltake is fine and I replaced all my cabling, I'm thinking depending on price a nice mid tower Coffee Lake build.

Two larger HDD's for media stuff, anything particularly important like pictures or documents I backup to those, flash and some CD's just for static storage. I've been migrating some stuff to Cloud but I am still weary of that. There is simple scripting you can put together (Using Robocopy) for weekly backups to externals or whatever you want.Codeblue wrote:What are ya using as a data backup solution?
I want to get a NAS setup at some point, though I have a single drive setup through my router to share stuff out quickly.
The fan on mine started going bad. I could hear that something was wrong and replaced it right away. Got lucky that time.conorh03 wrote:Edit: Hope it didn't fry any other components when it went down! I've heard some horror stories from failed PSUs

Those 2-3 TB USB 3.0 external hard drives are so cheap anymore I have started using them in place of cd/dvd for long term storage. The NAS setup I have is pretty old, but it definitely is nice to have a big chunk of free space accessible to the network.IWish wrote:The fan on mine started going bad.

I need more. Nothing seems to satisfy. I don't want it. I just need it. To feel, to breathe, to know I'm alive. - MJK
