Actually, exactly the same here.

Though in the past I've had my old PSU blow up on me because it was a shitty no-brand.  Because I thought I'd just be cheap and get away with using my old PSU instead of spending money to buy a new one, and it just couldn't take new the load, even though that PSU was supposedly 550W, whcih is way more than I needed.  Thankfully, it didn't take anything with it when it blew up.

I really should have realized about a UPS sooner. Well, it's just another one of life's lessons, though I don't know if the meaning of life is "Make sure you get a UPS"... but it could be...
