| 554775 | 2007-06-01 07:07:00 | So far I've had two PSUs blew up. One was a poor brandless 200W, and the other was an AcBel 500W, supposed to be a good PSU. But it blew any way. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 554776 | 2007-06-01 07:39:00 | And they have something called an excess... probably not worth it for a PSU. $100 for a new PC if the dead PSU takes the PC with it sounds good to me. I've built a few that were paid for by insurance companies. Anyway here's an interesting little site: www.hardwaresecrets.com Most interesting entering some of the IDs in on various makes..... So far on my entries only the Enermax has come back as being made by themselves. |

| 554778 | 2007-06-02 05:00:00 | Thankyou folks for your comments and supportive input. The PC is now back up and alive with the transplant. The new PSU is a bit quieter than the old unit, despite having two fans. It's all good. Thankfully the mobo hasn't suffered any apparent adverse affects. I kinda suspect the reason for the early death of the PSU was due to the lightening strike I spoke about a year ago... possibly hit the PC's components with a bit of over-surge which shortened the life span of the PSU. |

| 554779 | 2007-06-02 05:42:00 | Good to hear the PC is back up and running and is quieter! :D Even better that it didn't take anything else with it :D |

| 554780 | 2007-06-02 08:40:00 | If its any consolation, it was the PC that had the heart attack. Not you. Human PSUs are hard to come by. Hmmm, maybe India or China. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||

| 554782 | 2007-06-02 13:23:00 | Insurance companies paid for this??Not yet, and I doubt they will. I'll be speaking to a claims manager after the long weekend. Even so, I suspect that the excess on our policy will be around the same or more than the ninety bucks paid for the replaced PSU. | Greg (193) | ||
| 554783 | 2007-06-02 14:15:00 | You can get a decent PSU for $50-$60 from an online etailer. DSE is good, but expensive :/ | Neongreen (6358) | ||
