A very expensive repair

| Recently my computer went down. checking the computer I determined that PSU had died. So I replaced the PSU, checked to see if there was 5 volts to the OK pin, which there was, I proceded to reboot the computer. Still nothing...completely dead! upon futher checking I found the the case on/off switch was bad so now I had to replace the switch. To my surprise, I could not locate this switch no where, so I ended up having to buy a new ANTEC case @ $129.00 dollars just to get a switch that worked. the computer works fine know, but that is a very expensive repair. | |

| I had a switch go out on me once with an old case of mine so I just rewired it so that the stand-by button was connected to the power.(I take it this wasn't an option for you?) | |

| No, but I sure wish I had that option. I have naver had computer that both the PSU and the ON/OFF switch went out at the same time. Hope I never have this problem again |
