I stopped collecting PC-compatibles a while ago. I have a build for each generation, from a Tandy 1000SL up to a P4, including spare parts, mainboards... Only a 386, 486, P1-230MMX and PIII-600 are connected to a display/keyboard/mouse through a KVM. I still buy exotic parts from time to time, if …

I'm troubleshooting the same power supply. Mine works, but the system turns on when I plug in the mains. I have to unplug each time I want to power it down. I'll let you know my findings when I was able to fix it.
