==== Internet Downtime ====

There was a loud bang from my right as I sat in the work room this afternoon and all the power went off.
After resetting the circuit breaker in the garage, everything came back up except the HP Microserver I use as a router, firewall and
for various Internet-facing services.
Figuring it was the power supply, I found that an official HP replacement part (620827-001) would set me back about as much as I'd
paid for the whole server (thanks to a £100 cashback offer at the time), that is if I could find a supplier that had any in stock.
It seemed that the PSU was a standard 1U unit so I followed a
[[http://chrisstark.co/2013/08/hp-microserver-n36-replacement-power-supply-psu/|path trodden by Chris Stark in the past]]
and ordered a 250W FSP [[http://www.scan.co.uk/products/250w-fsp-fsp250-50gub-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-40mm-fan-1u-flexatx-psu|FSP250-50GUB]]
power supply from Scan (who I've ordered with before) for about £37 including VAT and delivery. It's due to arrive on Tuesday.
'''Update:''' The PSU arrived on schedule but the wires for the 24-pin (actually 20+4 pins on two connectors) ATX connector weren't
long enough to reach the system board connector if either the PSU or system board were in their final fitted positions.
I'm going to get a 15cm ATX power extension lead (£2.99 from Maplins) to resolve this issue.

In the meantime, I've had to cannibalize a regular ATX PSU (520W) from my son's computer and connected that up to the Microserver
with no case to get us all back online. Can't be doing with no Internet, can we? It was bad enough for 3 hours today!
