The Novell server where I used to work had a failed PSU in 1995. It was a
name brand that came with the server which originally was a 386. I
replaced it with a no-name and it's still running today after 10 years, as
is the drives from the same time frame. BTW, If you had bad power coming
in, you should have fixed that with a regulated UPS. Changing the PSU
didn't fix anything. It only masked the problem. That's if I believed you
actually lost 6 PSU's to this, which I don't.:-)
