Well, when cutting the stock fan exhaust plate out of the powersupply (to improve airflow), make sure the power supply is unplugged and FULLY discharged before doing so (Like wait an hour or so). The jarring action of the tin snips must have caused 2 caps (or something inside) to touch. The PS was turned on but I forgot to unplug the power cord which, I assume, still supplies trickle power . That poof of smoke was my new 300W powersupply. Now, forever a reminder of what not to do. OOPS. Oh well, Now I can get that ENERMAX I've been eyeing. :P
