[ale] PSU replacement

[adrin at bellsouth.net (adrin at bellsouth.net)]

I would have to say static.   but really if you are okay with taking things apart and puttig them back together there is not trouble at all.  Just make sure you unplug the AC. 

I have found though. I don't think that "NEWER" PSU units have short protection.  If you don't line up the pins on a 3.5 floppy drive, cause you can see inside the machine.  You will add to the ...........  of the room.
