Subject: Nothing like a game of chess to stress those computer components !

After 14 months of continuous 24/7 operation with both processors fully loaded
running chess tournaments, a couple of days ago the Antec Truepower 430w power
supply in my MP2800+ box went bang (literally), and is now dead with a truly
horrible burnt smell. OK the PSU has a 3 year warranty and will be replaced free
of charge after I send the old one back to Antec RMA department in the
Netherlands, but this isn't what I'd have expected from an expensive high
quality PSU. I just hope it didn't take out any of the other components when it
went !
