There was one night when I was up, that I discovered that my main computer 
wasn't working. I little testing showed it was the power supply that had 
failed. I replaced it and everything was OK. That PC was "out of action"

probably had gotten that new PS, along with having to explain a very non-
standard software setup, waiting a couple of weeks (or more), and spending 
a couple of days recreating the software configuration they had messed up.
