That shouldn't hurt the power supply but it could mangle your disk some (but probably not). One way I managed to blow a power supply was to not have the DC cables plugged into the computer. Most switching supplies don't care but some can either malfunction or be damaged by this. It wasn't intentional, I reinstalled the power supply after fixing the fan and sort of forgot one step. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
