Consider yourself lucky. At my old house, there was something funky
with the power, because I went through about 8 power supplies, even good
expensive ones. 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 :)
You would have been better off spending all that money on a line
conditioner/surge protector. I have a line conditioner at my place and
it occasionally indicates a spike or drop in the line voltage and
corrects for it. Haven't lost a power supply yet that couldn't be
anything other than the result of basic age.
