Default The power supply done blowed up...

I talked to my brother tonight about it - he's got 800 or so PCs under
his umbrella at the health centers he supports. He said that over the
past three years or so, he's noticing more and more power supply's just
crapping out. He stocks them now that money is tighter - can't just
pull out the goodies and buy a new computer like he used to. He also
used to spec out 500 watt supplies - now he specs out 750 to slow the
rate of attrition down.


Not all PSUs are created equal. Even the power ratings on some of the
cheaper units are suspect. Get yourself an Antec or comparable, and
forget about it.




Based on what I see with this bad one, he's right.
