My Antec TPN-650 "exploded"!
The Antec TruePower New 650W was bought on 08 Oct, 2009!
Smoke came out of the power supply. When I removed it from the case, some light yellow liquid came out. Fortunately, the motherboard was not harmed. So... what could that light yellow fluid be? -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

BTW, isn't electrolyte from a capacitor acidic? My skin was not burnt.... -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

Power supplies are like a flat tire or dead battery to an otherwise mechanically sound car. Something that's going to happen, regardless a good value for a respected brand. Yellow sounds much better than one I had "leaking" radiation (adversely affecting a tape drive).
