Ouch but glad they took care of it. I had a PSU go out recently, but it |
| 10 |
was designed to "fail safe" and that it did. Didn't fry a thing anywhere |
| 11 |
except in the PSU itself, but there, in addition to blowing the fuse, it |
| 12 |
blew the fronts clean-off a couple switching power transisters. The PSU |
| 13 |
was a Vantec, BTW. I seriously respect it for not killing anything but |
| 14 |
itself, when it failed that catastrophically inside. |

As you no doubt noted, mine board is an s2885 too, so now I know someone |
| 17 |
else with one. =8^) |
