Reason most these cheapo computers die early is cause people don't take care of them. They stick them in a cabinet where they get completely bno airflow. Keep it on 24/7 in there. Also never open clean out all the dust that will build up in them.

The primary reason that cheapo computers fail is because of shitty power supplies...
That's a smell I haven't thought about for almost 20 years.Don't forget PowMax... but don't ask how I know about PowMax or how shitty they are

That's a more spectacular fail than mine. I'd bought the powmax because I had an AT System (K6-350) with a failing PSU, and was planning on an ATX build a few months later; and Powmax was the only company I could find who made a PSU that supported both standards. Which as a poor college student seemed like a good way to save $50ish.I see your Powmax and raise you Deer. I was once given a PC that wasn't working, and upon inspection the PSU housing was bowed out on all open sides. Opened it up to find that every single capacitor on both the primary and secondary side had forcibly detonated so violently that nothing was left of the outer aluminum cans or labels but aluminum and plastic confetti, mixed with what looked like shredded wet cardboard. Couldn't figure that out until I realized it was part of the insulation between the capacitor plates. It was a Deer PSU. Needless to say, everything in the system was a charcoal briquette.
no. these guys are getting you all worried for no real reason. for what youre doing with it the psu will never be taxed enough to crap out, doa maybe but its obviously working fine.Should I be worried about the power supply?
