I know, Ironic, isn't it? :D

I did do alot of research and put out an offering to the Silicon gods before I plugged it in though.

It's from a old Compaq. The customer bought a cheap AT power supply off the Internet to replace the old one. Less than two days after installing it, it blew and well as doing this to the motherboard.

The two below it are buggered as well. And I'd be suprised if one of the rectifiers didn't take a whack when it capped off.
