I don't have room anymore either since I put a Challenge XL in the only 
room I have for computers.

Apart from the amount of electricity it eats (I of course can't keep it 
running full time) the power supplies keep dying. If I remember 
correctly I already blew four or five and since I only have a few more 
spares and not enough knowledge of electronice to fix them I am a bit 
worried...

I know that those machines are supposed to run continuously but it can't 
be quite normal that every other time I power it up one of the supplies 
dies. Any hints? Is there a way to fix those things or to prevent them 
from blowing up altogether?

cheers
