Thats nothing. We brought in a contractor to do some work on our servers, the fagot left all the doors and cabinets wide open on a hot day! What happened? One by one the servers did a tharmal shut down, oh the fun we had that day!
And when we asked him why he did it he replyed "I was cold" ROLF.
ROLF?

5 watt psu with enough stuff hooked up to draw 512 watts?

Everything in the computer is hooked up parallel yes? I am guessing enough stuff hooked up that the PSU just couldn't handle the amps?

no idea, it knocked out all the leccy in the house though.

my room takes a tremendous amount of power (lights, xbox, pc, 720w sounds, hd screen, guitar amp, various things plugged in), so that might have been something to do with it.

perhaps just a faulty PSU no fault of your own?

possibly. the psu in the case was given to me by a mate, he said his computer kept turning on and off lots, for no reason.

so maybe the psu thing was already fubar.

It may not be a total loss, how much could you salvage, was it only the PSU that was ablaze or did the fire damage other things?

it was like bang+flash then lots of smoke. not quite a roaring inferno - but everyone likes a little drama!

So unless the other bits could have been damaged by the psu bit going west, it should all be ok. i hope.
