Not sure ... The Morex PSU in my Cubid case got pretty hot and smelly
when I tried running an M10000 board plus hard disc plus full size CD
ROM drive on it when I was installing XP on it initially ... It smelled
like the laquer on the big inductor chokes to me but I turned it off
fairly sharpish once I smelled it, let it cool and liberated a slimline
CD ROM drive from another machine to do the install. I never really
bothered poking round the board to see what was getting stressed!
