Ok, so I used the paperclip method on my old power supply...and it's definately kaput. I plugged it into a different socket, at the other end of my apartment. It's on a different circuit.

I haven't yet had the opportunity to try that method with the new psu, but I'll be getting to that this afternoon.

So you folks are thinking that if the power isn't dirty, it could be a short in the case? It's a Chemning full-tower case...all-steel...no aluminum. haven't had any problems with it since I bought it in 2002, but of course anything's possible.

Any additional suggestions are most welcome!
