    My PSU blew and I dont know if it took anything else with it. The only PSU I have laying around is a 200 watt. Is that enough power to test my chip, RAM, mobo, and vid card? I dont wanna blow anything else up.....

    Smoke comming from case is bad right?

    Smoke comming from case is bad right?

    I hope your right. I am going to take the mobo off and see if I can find anything on that side of the board. Since I am strapped for cash I will have to do some research to find the best price, but I am considering antec SL450, but I havent done much shopping.

    Smoke comming from case is bad right?

    Well, the mobo looks fine. All the capacitors look normal. I opened up the PSU and there is a blown fuse but its soldered to the board.
