When a new Power Supply Unit makes your day
I have no practical skills whatsoever, and yet I can open up a computer and fix darn-near anything that needs fixing. Oh, I hate doing it, of course, but I can do it.
While I was shutting down the home office network I put my hand on my PDC server (Boomer), a 5-year mom-n-pop 550Mhz machine, and it was so hot that my skin was smarting afterward. Not good.
Thankfully I had a new power supply unit sitting on the floor for over 8 months that was sent to me by my Systems Admin at HQ (the best darn System Admin in the world!) when my previous PDC (Rocker) started sounding like it was spitting out rocks from the Power Supply fan assembly. I decided Rocker had earned a long overdue retirement and I relocated PDC duties to Boomer.
Yawn....
Hey, this has a subject line about a new Power Supply Unit. You were forewarned!
But it was a good thing that happened to me today, one of those processes that went so smoothly from start to finish that you were sure you were in for a good beating of some kind or other. But Boomer remains cool. Calm. Its still pissed about Sharepoint Server 2001 being on the machine (now for almost three years running), but otherwise is in good humor.
