[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 482908, member: 8287"] Not to be a mean person here, but I am a PC tech. Do you even know just how many PC's with BLOWN power supplies I run into? Most when they go BOOM take out the Motherboard, even the CD ROM and Hard Drive controller board and even the video card. I see this all the time and for some reason it's happening a lot more lately. Makes me wonder if the Power Supply manufactures are slacking a bit. Most of these supplies I have seen POP lately are top of the line from respected manufactures. So just because a few Power Mac's blew out their Power Supplies does not make Macs the only one with issues. I was on the phone with Dell a few months back when the power supply blew the motherboard. Argued with for an hour and still had to pay $150 for some old P4 board for the customers machine. The customer wanted it fixed, otherwise I would have told them not to put that much $$$ into that old Dell. [/QUOTE]
