Well it's not silence pre se, but it is spookly quiet since the PC died sometime around lunch today. I came back to a very quiet and (a little worryingly) slightly smelly room. You know that electrical frying smell when you've smelt it a few times... yeah, that one.
If it is the PSU (and I strongly suspect it is) there's going to be one hell of a snotty phone call to the shop tomorrow. It's less than 6 months old... POS!! I just hope there hasn't been too much hardware damage.
So, for the time being I'm without Photoshop, mIRC most of my POP3 email and relegated to a laptop that can't handle too much in one go!
