Lately my GTX 285 hasn't been getting anywhere near the 8000PPD I'm used to seeing on it with some of the older work units. What could be up with it? Anything I can do?

Well it appears to have fixed itself. Mainly related to the WU.
The 1888 units knock my PPD down quite a bit :/

Yeah the 1888 used to spank my GTX260s.
Slow with me too
My 260 only use 4% at time according to GPU-ZA glut of 472 pointers hit my ppd.
Now running project3469 450 pointer.will take about 1hr 33.
I'm going down to the garage right now!
Got my dads new PC to build (Q6600 + GT240) then its on to El Diablo

Oh and how long did it take me to get those colours right eh?!! Gotta get credit for that!On the down side, the perils of working in mATX cases with modular power supplies?
I killed 5 hard drives last night, one after the other before I realised I had the PSU -> SATA modular cable plugged into the PCIE socket on the PSU.
Only took me till 3AM to work out that the chances of 3 x 160GB and two 40GB drives couldn't ALL be faulty

We've all had our computer blond moments - usually after 1am I find.
Took me three goods to get my new keyboard working last night (plug and play - NOT)
Can't wait to see my little boys face when he finds the backlight colour changing button
Boy and there toys - gutted the wife liked the eclipse II more that the lycosa, but the saitek is quieter
And the point of getting it was night typing.

The Eclipse II is a wonderful keyboard - I absolutely love it!
The Lycosa is nice too, but I would be happy with either. And yes, the colour change is nice hehe. I am in a purple/fuschia mood tonight!
And damn, Biffa! Were the plugs not colour coded? I must have checked 10 times before I hit the ON switch on my Corsair modular PSU! One of my most memorable blonde moments was my first ever self build. PC wouldn't post and the beep code said it was the graphics card. I could see the pins weren't sitting in the PCIE slot properly. Took a few hours of me messing around with standoffs before I noticed the mobo tray itself was bowed!
A swift application of precision elbowing fixed that! Another "d'oh!" moment was buying an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 for my brothers PC in an Antec A ria [it's the name of the case, not the competitor!]. It fitted perfectly - as long as you didn't want a disc drive. Or a HDD.
