[QUOTE="hello_hello, post: 1209675, member: 196258"] Oddly enough, I was using a surge protector when it happened (which I will not be using any more). In case anyone was interested, I found the time to take it apart today, and the PSU ended up failing the paperclip test. It looks like the replacement parts are going for $30-$70 on ebay, but that seems a little too pricey to fix up a 10 year old computer. On the other hand, I've always found the case gorgeous, so maybe I could make something cool out of it, and sell the remaining parts. Thanks so much for your help, Mac SK! [/QUOTE]
