My computer is getting somewhat long in the tooth so over the past few weeks I've been steadily acquiring parts and building a new one, well, Friday night it was all together so I intended to fire it up over the weekend.
Went out Saturday morning and when I returned I tried to check E-mail on my old faithful, powered it up and there was a sharp crack and a puff of smoke drifted away from the power supply vent.
I've had a few little struggles with the new one (Windows XP didn't want to recognize a SATA hard drive) but now it's up and running Yaaaaaa!
Incredible timing having a new one ready to go when the old one died, ESP possibly?
