The power supply on my secondary computer just exploded. It smelled like ozone in here but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I was sitting at the desk and heard a very loud pop and the other monitor went blank. The case around the power supply area is hot to the touch and the power supply itself is burning hot to the touch. First time this has ever happened to me.

aww, that really sucks! If you want, I happen to have a second PSU lying around somewhere, its a PC Power&Cooling 500W. It doesn't support the new high-end Vid cards with the 8 pin connectors, tho. I used it for about a year, then upgraded to support added hardware. No known issues with it tho.
PM me if your interested.

I have adapters if needed. I've got an 8800GT in that case. I guess the older 450w cheapo power supply didn't like it. How much do you want for it? I was considering buying an Antec 500w for like 30 bucks.

eh, I got a lot of good use out of it, so say $15 plus shipping and handling?
