SLi memory doesn't have much of anything to do with SLi, it's just another name for EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles).

Well after all that, I plugged in and was greated by sparks and smoke.
I'm hoping to god it was just the PSU.

Ouch, hope that it was nothing majour, and that you can claim it on warrenty/home insurance
Re: Finished Media Centre Build
Computer guts everywhere, looks to be like it's just the PSU.
Slight dilemma, I can't seem to find another PSU that will fit..
It measures roughly 4.7cm deep, 8.5cm wide, 6cm tall
Are these a certain type obtaniable somewhere else?
Would really like a decent make with a warranty after this mishap.
Needs to be 24 pin and Sata compliant.
Basically needs to be able to cope with the build in the first post.
The dead PSU is a "LR-FLX300W".

That's awful news my friend, hopefully, it's just the PSU and you're up running in no time!
You said it's a microATX case? Maybe it's a microATX PSU? You could post details of the PSU that went, it might help to establish what kind you require? Is it a new case? If so, why not return it for a replacement?
Best Wishes.

Sorry to here about the PSU death :(

The case came off Ebay and there has been no changes to the finish.
It is available in several colours:

The seller had gotten it as a sample, although it says on the listing it comes with a 12 month warranty I don't hold much hope of getting a replacement.

i know this may sound stupid but was the psu set to run on 110v because if it was thats why it went up in smoke, i seen it happen before
Re: Finished Media Centre Build
Was the first thing i checked before plugging it all in, I probably should of tested everything before installing though.
Re: Finished Media Centre Build
Never got a reply about the case/psu, still waiting on it..
Whinged alot and my dad decided to lend me the money so I've ordered a new case and psu that should arrive tuesday.
It's kinda the same form, slim and vertical..
I'll post some more pics when it's all together
Will test it out of the case first too!
