Power Supplies going west
I've had a few, but none that have taken any other components with it.
However the one with the failed fan could've taken the whole house with it in time. Now sure how long it'd been running constantly without the fan working, maybe a week. Was certainly a bit warm to the touch. I thikn that power supply was roughly four years old, though it had only been running constantly for one.
Had another machine that had been running constantly for about two years with nary a hitch. But after four months off, the power supply decided it enjoyed not working, and decided to stay that way permanently. And in the grand old tradition of "She'll be right, mate" I bought a second hand power supply for $10. So far so good.
On and on and on and on,
and on and on and on goes John.
