I walked into my place after a 12 hour day and three hour commute to find a thin layer of water all over the floor. Strange. It seems that there was a drip from my tap...that was hitting the end of a scrub brush on the counter, causing the water to spash and, over about fifteen hours, fill the counter, drip off of it, and pool on the tile (also, through a transition and under some laminate, but whatever - that stuff was shit that's buckling any ways.
So, I cleaned it up, checked around any electronics and, yup - no water. I go to turn on my computer....nothing. No lights, not posting, nothing. Check again, no water anywhere near it. Open up the case, no water in it. Try to turn it on in a different outlet...nothing. Everything else has power, so it's definitely a problem with the system.
Now, here's the thing. I pretty much never leave my computer on when I leave in the morning, so I doubt it was running. It's also plugged into a surge protector, which is in turn plugged into a power bar...and every thing else connected is fine. I suppose the power supply (a pretty ~6 year old 450 watt) could have just died on it's own, but the timing would be amazing.
Thank god for laptops. Now, I guess I'm throwing down some cash on a power supply to see if that works. The thing is that if it doesn't, I'm already $50 in and would be more inclined to throw down another $300 and buy a new system at that point (hoping that the video card and hard drives were still good).
Blah.
