Have you done a full bare metal bring up boxes from scratch, put programs and data on them and get back in business restore? That is from duplicates of os, tape backup, applications software disks as in the office burned to the ground, the original cd /dvds are gone, paper files with license keys, ect. Back when I was doing the IT thing, I had tape, spare tape drive, interface cards, duplicates of install media, configuration data, ect and once a year I'd do a disaster restore drill. Wes For me to get a box up from scratch to functional in less than an hour. I have customized XPP with the full OS and basic applicants on an unattended DVD, start it up and walk away. Generations of back-ups and originals are in a big fireproof safe and my thumb drive is in my pocket. We're pretty good but not perfect. |

Thanks for the help, everybody.
Followup. It was the power supply. I had a spare in a CNC control computer I'm not using right now. METALWORKING CONTENT. Dell's power supply has no switch and the metal case was made just for it. So I had to make a bracket to hold a hole saw and saw a piece of the case out to fit the new supply. Took over an hour. I need to order a new supply. i see newegg has a huge selection. Any particular suggestions on which to order? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2&N=2010320058 P.S. stuff is breaking faster than I can repair it. Still have an electrical circuit to repair. SWMBO just told me the wash machine leaks water on the floor. I just put a bettery back in the truck and the alternator won't charge. leaving everything to freeze for three months sure causes trouble. maybe i should just go back to FL. Karl |

Its an older Dell P4 2 Ghz model. Karl You deserve a power supply tester. The last one I got was $7 Test the supply, unplug all peripherals except the MB and one memory module. If it stays up, plug one thing at a time in. But, Id bet on the PS. the rest of the computer is called a power supply tester. if a computer died during a move, reseat everything, and dust it out while it's open. I use my leaf blower after pinning the fans with toothpicks...DON'T over-rev them! ahaha- to the leaf blower part. I tried to blow out a squirrel cage blower once, but it ran too fast and self destructed. It stopped really really fast as the blades ran into the housing and pieces of them flew out. |

I've been having good luck with Rosewill's mid-range lineup. $30-40 range. The units are good and heavy (they used enough copper in them) and I haven't had one die on me in the 2 years I've been using them at work. (Machine shop with oily environment). |

The last time I did, it had some PB computers listed. BTW, to you remember when PB made overpriced consumer electronics? The old game shows, like 'Lets Make a Deal' stated that the retail prices were over $1000, for a $400 color TV. I only saw ONE PB color TV in Ohio. We had the only shop that would touch it.

Gunner Actually other than the lack of the power switch the Dell machines are (except for the XPS box) standard parts now. Personally I have a LOT of Dell machines and have had better service from them than any other machines I've had. They also derate there power supplies a LOT. The "250" watt unit in this machine is just loafing along at 250 watts, I have run it through a couple tests and can get 400 watts out of it without any problems. -- Steve W.

And since I never got knocked on my ass, I must have learned something.)

Their PSU is a off size, and slightly smaller than a normal ATX, so you can't replace it with a normal unit if it goes bad. (Only 320W too) The motherboard may be BTX, but it mounts upsidedown and backwards in the case compared to an ATX board (not all that familiar with BTX format). Oh and while the clock chip in it is capible of 400 FSB, anything above 200 FSB isn't allowed by the BIOS, so don't think about upgrading from the E2140 chip that comes in it. |
