Subject: Re: 486 dies terrible death
I've got more power supplies than I care to have. More literally come
through the door every week. I'd rather just let them die and replace the
whole supply once in a great while and then recycle the dead unit rather
than go through the nonsense of replacing the fan.

Having extra supplies does not help if one decides to catch fire and burn
your house down.
