Just went and got a new PS. Got the machine up and running again and pulled off the data I needed.
However, an interesting side note...
I now have a HD shell tht I can plug HD's into. I never ever throw away HD's... EVER. so I have about 25 just sitting behind me in the office so I started going thru them and found several that I could get rid of. Small 250 gig HD's.
I've destroyed them in the past, but with hammers and shit. Well this time I took it apart one screw at a time. Inside the HD are needles, yes we've all seen the inside of an HD, HOWEVER what I didn't know was that the NON-DISC side of the needle configuration sits between two magnets that are so FUCKING strong I could barely pull them apart with a pair of pliers.
INSIDE THE HD ARE MAGNETS THAT A 200lb FAT MAN COULD BARELY PULL APART WITH PLIERS. How is that possible? Don't magnets fuck shit up in a computer?
