No 2 power supplies were the same. Here are the specifics of the ones
I used.

1st supply: L&C Technology Inc. LC-250ATX; believed to be original 2.5
years

2nd supply: No name wholesale (historically their parts are reliable)
- 350 Watt; lasted 6 days

3rd supply: QMAX LC-B300ATX; lasted 5 seconds but had been running for
2 weeks in a different machine.

FYI - The +5vsb light on my ATX power supply tester still lights when
hooked up to all three power supplies.


That's really weird, I thought almost all supplies had thermal shutdown.
