I powered up my desktop today, and all that happened was an acrid cloud of smoke was discharged from the power supply...
Im in the middle of doing some sheetrock and insulation work on mi casa so this release of magic smoke couldnt happen at a worse time..Anyway off to to obtain a new power supply.. The pc boots till it tells me disk boot failure or something..... anyway Im going to build a pc tomorrow and see if I can salvage anything off the old hard drive....
