It is like a melted plastic smell. I had an issue this summer where the machine would overheat and shut itself off (no AC in my apartment, it gets up to almost 90 in here during a hot summer day) so a friend suggested opening the case just a tiny bit to let extra heat escape. The CPU fan is not running. It's moving but it's stuck. But that is not where the smell is coming from. It's coming from the PSU.
I got this computer used from someone on the LEM swap list and it has served me well for several years, but maybe it's time to replace it with something a bit newer.
