More pics, when you have the time for it, and after you clean the PSU up a bit, would be most welcome and appreciated...

Oh, and I told you everything would be fine

Loud bangs are your best friend, if/when a PSU decides to crap out

Yep, PSU failures are like passing gas; Silent = deadly

Gratz on not losing any hardware

I had a explosion that killed the disk controller and one drive immediately, then one failed in a couple months.

nothing quite like the oh shit feeling when sparks come out.

Happy to see your hardware is alive and running.

And that's a really nice PSU. Good looks, and reliable!
