So I wake up this morning, groggy eyed and tired dreading the day of work ahead and I stumble to my main PC. I power on the monitors and they turn on but show no display. So I look at my PC and it's off. Figuring a brownout overnight I soon realize my server is still on and both PC's hooked to a UPS. Hmm, odd. So I check connections, cycle power, etc; nothing.
So, more awake now at the alarm of my Main Rig (see sig) not turning on, I grab another power supply just to test since the board is showing no LED's lit indication power. I plug the other PSU in and violla; happy lights on the board. Switch back to the old PSU and nothing.
So, I guess it's time to get a new PSU. I don't quite need the overkill of the 1000 watt PSU that was in the PC this time, however. Just something that will happily run an OC'd i7 4820k, 32gb of RAM, 2 SSD's, and an R9 280x. I don't plan on adding a second video card or upgrading to anything really power hungry in the future I won't need a ton of power to spare. I would like it to be black and be at the very least semi-modular. Any suggestions?
