Actually it turns out this power supply did not die... see later post
well the CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply just up and died today while I was at work. No warning signs...
I broke out my old backup power supply* I have kept for testing/troubleshooting purposes and she fired right up.
*(larger and DOES fit in the Silverstone case though the 12v cable is too short)
So I guess it lasted about 17-18 months. I doubt I will fool with the warranty just to get a refurb of the same model sent to me. IDK.
So looks like I need a new PSU... recommendations ?
oh btw, we bought a house so the setup is much nicer than the way I have it pictured in the tiny apartment.
