Fortunately, power supplies are cheap. I'm just worried that it took something with it. It was a pretty loud bang, the most spectacular failure I've ever witnessed.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Was it preceded by a synthesized female voice saying, "Warning. Magic smoke containment failure in one minute."?

Nope, but I may have turned that option off when I set the thing up.
The other possibility is that it was attacked by a Lutheran space fleet from my kitchen sink. That would explain a lot.

You also need to run a Level 3 Diagnostic from time to time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jeez, the lutherans have a space program now? I can't keep up.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Stupid Space-Lutherans!

All is well that ends in pizza.
Actually, if it was white smoke, your computer may have a new pope.
So, maybe Space Catholics.

Electrical smoke is supposed to be blue, isn't it? At least that's what my physics professor said. Would that mean BB King was elected Pope?
Jeez, I can't believe no one remembers the Lutheran battle fleet that attacked Bart...

I remembered. Just couldn't think of anything to add.

If you're getting a new power supply I can recommend both Antec and Enermax.
