About a week and a half ago, my desktop computer decided to randomly restart itself every once in awhile. Fun. Figuring it might be the power supply, I disconnected two of the three (!) hard drives I have running in it and booted it up. It seemed to be a lot more stable, so on Monday, I got myself to Fry’s, bought a new power supply, and installed it myself. Not really that difficult of a job, but I needed that sense of satisfaction that occurred when I booted up the machine and everything worked the way it was supposed to.

Btw, that’s the old power supply in the photo…
