WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!! I'm back, y'all! The guys at the Geek Squad, especially Blaine, are geniuseses. As it turns out, it seems the power supply IS all that was wrong with my computer and, about $200 later, I'm back in business! Now to sort through the 85 emails waiting on my server for my attention...

If ever you needed proof a pc is better! $200? That would have cost $30 on a pc, and been done in an hour.

Well, the part was $100, installation was $50, and the UPC you recommended was $65. It only took about 15 minutes for the actual installation--most of the time I spent was trying to figure out where to get the part, whether to claim it on my renter's insurance, and shipping time. I will say that I'm still a Mac fan--mine is nearly 5 years old, still going strong, and only a lightning strike could even do as much damage as was done to it.

I'm scoring one for the PCs. I've only ever had a PC since before Windows '95 and I've only ever had one virus that was caused by a surge of power in a storm (it allowed the virus to get thru the catcher's mitt). And if my power source died, i could get a new PC tower for as much as your power source. but i guess we love you anyhow. ;)
