Post here if you've blown an Antec PSU in last year

Please post if you've blown an Antec PSU in the last year. Put the PSU model and some basic specs - mobo, video card, how many drives you running etc.

My work fleet has roughly 40 of them (yay, statistically-meaningful sample ) which range from 1 to 3 years old. I've had one SmartPower SL350 fail. No damage, just doesn't fire up any more.

Specs briefly: AthlonXP 2400+, Asus microATX nForce220D board, one each of HDD, CD and FDD, one stock 120mm cooling fan. Business usage, so ~40 hours per week.

Still haven't quite gotten around to RMA'ing it, maybe this week I'll get a round tuit though

Blew one the other day in a SLK350 case (300w PSU). Luckily it was still under warranty.

EDIT: Comp specs: AMD Athlon 2500+, ASUS A7N8X-VM, 512MB PC3200, DVD Rom, 40 GB HD, Floppy...nothing fancy.

Had a true330 that just stopped working anymore. It was over 2yrs old and on 24/7 under DC loads and it wasn't until a few weeks after adding a 6800GT@431/1.1ghz that it bonked

Heh - forgot to post my own specs for those following along.

Asus A7N8X-delux mobo,
1gig ram (2x512s)
6800 GT video

One PSU was a truepower 430, the other was a 550

I've got this wierd hunch that the 6800GT might somehow be involved - it's a way long shot and a thread on a messageboard would never be able to bring up any statistical significance. Thanks for posts so far. Hope to see some more.

Two Truepower 430W's - one had something inside pop, and all the internal fans stopped spinning, but everything else worked.
Second one (the replacement for the first) will make a high pitched noise when it's under load. It has yet to be RMA'd.
