Sure. Understand a computer draws what it needs, regardless if the PSU is a 450W, 650W, or a 1000W PSU.
Better a cable than a CPU pin. I have not that - fortunately I learned that lesson from someone else who did bend a couple pins, then promptly...
Looks that way - assuming all the necessary plugs with the new PSU were securely connected the first time around.
Hey glad you got it going. And don't worry about - I assure you, you won't let it happen again! ;) It is next to impossible to ensure you won't...
Great! :)
Agreed. If everything worked fine before cleaning, it should work fine after. This assumes you unplugged the computer from the wall, and...

:eek: :rotfl: You've never owned a dog have you? Or a cat for that matter. Or have allergies either. The hair falls off the dog. Just walking...
Speaker power supply? Please explain.

lol And I note a Lincoln HS band already there for some parade is stepping in for UNL's band, which could not make it due to the weather.
The MVPs on this site don't speak with one voice so you will get different opinions here too - but not on this topic. Operating systems run on...
