RE: An SGI newb's questions
All Indy power supplies regardless of manufacturer are bad. The Nidec is well known for failing with its capacitors whereas the Sony ones tend to break the mosfet or other pieces.

Additionally Sony models do not provide sufficient cooling for some configurations and will cause the system to overheat well before the fan kicks on.

Really we don't have any good options right now. You can't replace it with an ATX and there is no custom power supply that would work in this case because there are special logic that is embedded in every power supply.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
