After 1 month NO Power

Here my wife sits unable to do business, I talked her away from a home brewed computer that a friend builds into an Apollo and it wont turn on nothing. paperweight and NO Tech support on weekends. $3400.00 paperweight and I need to listen to my wife now.. I thought D/S was going to start weekend support! I was getting ready to take the plunge for myself. Now I don't know

i know it's hard, but take a DEEP breath, and explain the problem in detail if you want "tech support" from the forum community.  if you just want to rant, i can certainly understand the need for that at times, please feel free to ignore this advice. 

it would be really helpful to list your system specs in your signature (i wish more people would do so), so that we don't have to waste time asking. 

as Tidg said, whenever a power/power distribution issue crops up the first things to check are connections (that includes checking your home outlets by plugging other devices into them to see if they are getting uninterrupted power. 

it would be very odd to learn that you had no forewarning, that the last time you/your wife used the comp there was nothing out of the ordinary (no smoke, no burning smell, no power interruption/popping sound/monitor flickering/power on and system startup failures/etc.  did you notice any memory errors leading up to the inability to boot?  are any of the system's fans (case/psu/cpu/graphics cards) working when "powered on"?  how about power to monitor/keyboard/mouse?  any circuit breakers tripped/blown?

Nice, quick fix, rmac.

Thanks Alex:
Just got off the phone with DS say they will call tomorrow so the can check for any other damage and further instruction. I don' really expect a cash refund (would be nice) but I would take the spare..

Just Spoke Mike with DS (really nice guy) they gave me 2 options money back (did not get into how much) or another PSU, I chose to have the extra PSU. I am happy with them and hope to order my rig soon..
