My Hiper Type-R comes with a story.
Owned it for ~3 years, oblivious to the fact that it was a ticking time bomb, until I read a thread on this forum about how they suddenly "explode". When I read that, I thought to myself "must get a new PSU, sooner rather than later". That evening, I started to look around to see what to replace it with. Next morning, after spending 20 minutes typing up an assignment for my OU course "BANG".
Luckily motherboard, CPU, RAM etc all survived. What caused the most worry was my SSD, containing coursework already completed, but not submitted (not to mention it cost nearly £200 and was only a few months old). Thankfully that survived too.
Made by the devil, indeed.

...or Enermax, though as I say it's unfortunate that OcUK don't sell them anymore.
