From last night -- Here we go again: Mere weeks after I rescue the databases for sn.jonkman.ca and s.russwurm.org the server on which I restored them packs it in. The lights are on, but nobody's home. That is, the computer appears to power on, but hangs during POST. It's an old box, and suffers from Capacitor Plague. I'll see what I can scrounge up from my parts box, but it'll be a day or two.

The current state of server 'simak', Comm server. Was to be the new mail server, but got pressed into service as the DB server to resurrect my StatusNet and WordPress instances. http://sn.jonkman.ca/attachment/30296

@maiyannah The mainboard in the case (that died last night) seems to have OK caps. The junkbox mainboard flayed open on the bench has all kinds of popped caps, but it works. Go figure.

I have close to a dozen LCD monitors that probably need new caps in their power regulators. Just need to open them up and take a trip to Sayal's... But time.
