Alas, poor Shuttle

My trusty SB51G appears to be dead.

My gut feeling is that it could be the PSU; You get that electrical crackle when you connect the plug, but absolutley nothing when you press the button; Not fans, lights. Damn thing has been faultless for 2 years too!

I'll have more time over the weekend to try reseting the bios and the usual remove and re-seat stuff. Obviously its a good time to get a silent PSU if it is a dead psu but before that, i need to know:

1) Could I use a normal ATX PSU for testing if it is dead?

2) Where's the best place to get a silent PSU from?

3) Any ideas what it could be if not the PSU?

1) Absolutely

2), 3) Not so sure.

Hmmm whilst its in bits, I think that HDD upgrade is Loooooong overdue... and maybe cut the grills....

Oh no! it begins!
