PC was dead this morning, plugged in a known good cable & the PSU when phut, complete with sparks out the back. So clearly I need a new PSU and I'm crossing my fingers the rest of the components are OK.

The dead PSU is 500w modular one, I'm using on-board video so 500w should be OK - that's what the dead one is and it's lasted since 2011...

I do have 4 SATA disks - 5 if you include the DVD.

Suggestions? Thought about this one:

PC has had surgery and is working again, which was a bit of a relief. The cables aren't as neat as the previous one, but it's working. :)

I'd forgotten what a beast the Fractal Design case is compared to the very light cases on the PCs at the gliding club and indeed my Linux server.
