A few days ago (I think Sunday I don't remember) I was playing Dawn of Discovery/Anno 1404 when snap crackle pop goes the PSU, blue arcs of electricity shooting out the back, PC turns off, so much for upgrading my envoys... damn thing lasted 8 months.

You son of a...
Anyway off to Newegg, bought a nicer Corsair 400W and new HSF (old stock AMD one was very loud), they arrived today, quick turnaround from Industry to Ontario.
PSU seemed a lot smaller than the old one that came with the case, took a while to screw it in but its secure. New PSU with more than one SATA power port means I can use a DVD burner I had laying around.
HSF was pissing me off though, eventually I got it where both hooks were on but slanted, its secure and won't fall off though. So much cooler and quieter.
