WOW that seems extreme. Something must be going on that you lose so many power supplies. I don't think I have lost one in 20 years. For the lat 15 years I have used an Isobar surge suppressor to protect my equipment. While they are a little pricey, losing a computer or worse some work and time makes them a cheap alternative.

At the end I was buying cheapo $29 cases from Frys just to get the power supply out of them (and then recycled the case). My new house isn't quite as bad, but I've gone through 3 power supplies here so far, including one that literally exploded and shot a cloud of plasma-like fire out of it. Talk about an eye-opener at 3am :) -Charles Michael Havens wrote: > stupid thing is going out after three months! it is a CM Extreme 500 watt. > any coments? > -------------- --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss ------------------------ Keith Smith (480) 584-4772 PHP Programming --------------------------------- Never miss a thing.
