Last time I had a PS go bad, it started cooking off components at random -- a hard drive... a DVD writer... a DIMM.... "it was ugly" was an understatement. I still have that machine setting over to the side, but I don't know that anything is stable enough to be reusable. Anyway, when I replaced the machine, I spent $100.00 of a $600.00 budget on the PS alone. Loosing my main desktop was more expensive than a $100.00 power supply. that said, you could do the PS yourself, probably, but it might be worth $40.00 if you're not comfortable banging around inside your case. it's really simple, provided you get the right PS with the right connectors. j Kelly Jones wrote: > My computer's power supply burned out.
