heh... i was sittin' here working last night, minding my own business when CLICK.
computer shut off, rather dramatically. wouldn't turn back on.
something smelled like it fried, so i investigated. the fan in the psu jammed up, and it roasted itself to death. so, death is my $18 L&C 425w, RIP. installed a new fan and tried to get it to come up, it ran power to the board but wouldn't start the machine.
so now i'm running on a WAY overpriced antec 400w i got locally. i think i'm going to order either the same one i've got now, or a 350w enermax from newegg, and send this one back tho (paid almost twice as much locally...). i need to order a new chipset hsf anyways, the fan on mine locked up a while back (the 120mm fan i was experimenting to cool my machine i believe roasted it
).
so anways. yeah, laugh it up, but that thing did last a couple years, so i got my money's worth
. the new one's got 2 fans tho, and the cpu runs a couple deg's cooler
