I gotta post this somewhere before I explode!
For the past few weeks my psu fan was making a buzzing sound and I was too lazy to fix it.
Yesterday day as I power off my PC there was a loud bang with lots of smoke
After replacing a blow PSU I eventually find out my cpu, motherboard, 3 hdd's and cd drive are all dead too
I checked out the PSU and the 5V rail was dead and there was 19V on the 12V
If your psu fan starts making a noise don't wait to fix it!
Luckily it was one of my spare PC's with no critical data on that I can't download again, but damn....its not nice!!

I'd better investigate
