1 - Computer caught fire.


2 - Office smoke damage.


That sucks! Some here will blame it on bad karma. ;-)


Was it the power supply catching fire?


I guess - that's what the Fire Marshall said. Kind of a thermal
runaway.


How old was it?


Three years.


Are you going to notify the manufacturer of the computer and/or power
supply? It is useful information for them and may lead to a recall.

I would also pursue a claim against them to recover damages from the fire.
This failure and resulting fire is certainly not to be expected as the power
supply was certainly well within it's expected useful life.
