Thanks for the interesting site! I've had caps blow and sound like a
gun shot.


A woman at my church asked me to look at her computer. A small
electrolytic exploded in the power supply and shot out through the fan.
That bad power supply destroyed the hard drive, the CD-ROM drive, the
RAM, the CPU and the motherboard. The only thing that was still usable
was the cheap case.

Sounds like power surge damage. We get a lot of it here. It's hard to talk
people into buying good surge protectors. One surge destroyed over 60
computers in our town. That was about 4-5 years ago.
