Last night, another component from my beloved computer reached the end of its life. I brought my computer home to San Diego and I connected the mouse, keyboard, moniter, etc. About 5 seconds after I turn the power on, I hear a *pop* and a waft of dust rise from the back of my computer. I knew it was my power supply since it had given me problems before (overheating). I also could smell the burnt silicon coming from the PSU when I opened up my case. So today, I bought a name brand, Antec 300W power supply to replace my old one. I put it in, started it up and everything works. =)

Thank God my motherboard and, more importantly, my hard drives weren’t fried along with the PSU.
