Ouch but glad they took care of it. I had a PSU go out recently, but it was designed to "fail safe" and that it did. Didn't fry a thing anywhere except in the PSU itself, but there, in addition to blowing the fuse, it blew the fronts clean-off a couple switching power transisters. The PSU was a Vantec, BTW. I seriously respect it for not killing anything but itself, when it failed that catastrophically inside. As you no doubt noted, mine board is an s2885 too, so now I know someone else with one. =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
