Yesterday I woke up to the sound of my power supply failing. :30:

Dissection of the power supply indicated the cooling fan burned out, allowing the unit to overheat, which in turn fried the motherboard. I haven't tested my 3 video cards or my hard drives yet, hopefully they are OK. The condition of the processor and RAM is also unknown.

ASUS is going to replace the motherboard, but I wouldn't expect to see me on the counterstrike servers for at least 2 weeks. :32:

I feel your pain. The powersupply in my server just died. It works, but windows starts up for like a few seconds then everything goes blank. As I was checking sh*t, I noticed that my powersupply smelled "toasty" You know the wonderfully sh*tty smell of roasted electronics. Anyone know if Antec has a lifetime warranty?? I spend like $110 bucks on the f*ckin thing way back when a 400watt PSU was considered a bigass one......... :tdown:
