When I woke up Monday I found dark.mtl.rptn.net was off, I had bumped a chair into it I belive and poof off it goes. I go to power it back on after confirming the box was off and nothing was happening, power would remain off. Touching the back of the tower it was extremely hot, I was sure my power supply overheated and blew but it survied…I cooled down the system for a good 15minutes using typical house fans, I then tried turning it back on and there we went power came on and the system booted fine, and been running all day without any problems.

I’m still getting some warm air out of the back which is normally cold on this system but with the heat and humidity we are having in Montreal these days, I petty these poor machines hehe.
