And then look at the computers to see the lights off on one machine.. *sigh* overheated/burnt powersupply..

Grrr! To the Egg I go.. looks like it will be down over the weekend.. Oh well.. just a minor hickup..

maybe I should test it with my other computers Power supply to make sure its just that..

Might be a good thing to do. I hope that is all the problem. :(Of course a psu is a big thing. I try to keep a spare around. That way I try to lose as little crunch'n time as possible.:)

Yeah looks like thats gonna be the only issue, the insides were actually melted some.. neat! Apparently I was pushing it too hard too long and it decided to break down.

ill ponder my thoughts on if I "need" that machine up or let it ride and save money till income taxes in the spring for a new total domination machine lol
