Treesh's machine is just fine, but my machine is dead. I powered it off thanks to the UPS last night after the power went out. When I went to power it back up this morning the powersupply fired.
I knew that the PSU in it was just barely good enough for the connected hardware, but it seems that the extra draw that the PSU gets when powering on was too much and it blew while trying to turn the system back on this morning.
Seeing as how we weren't sure we could afford two copies of TBC in the first place I know we can't swing a powersupply for awhile. Oh well. I'll still be able to post and stuff from Treesh's machine for awhile and I've got some older parts I've been meaning to slap together into a 3rd box anyway (got a PS that is good enough for them but not for what was in my system) so I might get that back up, but you won't see Treesh and I both online for a bit.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
