My main PC appears to have died. No power. Just dead. It's old as hell though. Can't even remember how many years ago I built it. I'm hoping it's just a problem with the power supply. In any case, I just hope the hard drives are still functional. There's TONS of pics on those drives. :(

Now to track down an ATX power supply for testing...

Fixed! My initial feeling that the power supply died was correct. Good thing too since pretty much all the parts for the thing are no longer made. :lol:

Thanks for all your concern. :p

We knew you could handle it.
I had a power supply go out once and when it did it popped a couple caps in the mother board. That sucked.

i've had two emachines and a gateway do the same thing

Glad you got it going again, I have had this COMPAC since 2004 and never had any issues with it

My pc power supply went out last summer on mine. Did a search on ebay and they sell for only $5 new!
