power supply

[keith smith]

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.

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 :)
