    Default RIP Power Supply

    So yesterday my power supply in my desktop died, after ~3.5 years of faithful service. (Borrowed a friends PSU and I think everything else is intact.) In fact, here's the thread where I started making my first computer. I didn't post my power supply choice (or any of my final choices, though I went with most of the things in post 18 of that thread) but I got an OCZ GXS600 600W PSU. I think it was a little pricey at the time but it lasted this long. Apparently it's past warranty (which expires at 3 years according to OCZ) but I've posted a support ticket with OCZ and posted on their forums. I'm thinking about replacing it with this 650W number from Corsair which is the best rated on Newegg:

    Anyone have any experiences or other comments on a PSU selection?

    With the PSU dead, I think the case and the two optical drives (as well as the keyboard, mouse, and monitor) are the last surviving bits from my "first draft." Ah, nostalgia.
