    So does anyone remember the other day when we were talking about exploding power supplys in PCs?

    Guess what just happened to me? 😀

    Went to reboot and I was rewarded with a loud *POP* then the sight of the mysterious magic smoke* escaping and the pleasant aroma of burnt plastic and ozone. Yum!

    So… anyone know where I can pick up a decent 400W+ PSU on a Saturday? Do PC World stock such things or is that too "tech" for them?

     

    * some say the smoke is the soul leaving the PC and it will never work again

    PC World do stock psus. I'm reckon you'll get a better deal online but if you want one quick I'm sure they'll have something.

    Cool I'll give them a try.

    On the bright side I can confirm that the forum does now work okay on a netbook with all the ads turned on 😀

    Hmmm both Maplin and PC World seem to be fairly expensive and don't offer any of the Silent PC Review recommended PSUs.

    I might just make do with the netbook till I can order online.
