Hey all, Anyone got any 19" cases for AT and/or ATX boards that they'd be willing to part with at a good price? chuck
Story... I've had two power supplies go bad on me, both in cases that had served faithfully for two years or more. Each time, the power supply's throes of agony on death's door created power spikes which fried my hard drives. Once, two Western Digitals; the other time, two Seagate Barracudas.
Conclusion: do not buy used cases. Get new ones, and then replace the power supplies every X months or years. And make backups. Nothing you can do to protect components from the power supply...
