from the sounds of it you are out of luck. the modifications PFO made on the computer server powersupplies did two thing. 1) caused them to overheat and die, and 2) voided the manufacture's warenty. they were offering free replacments of a new design but since they are bankrupt....

this seams to be a problem in our hobby, people are in so much of a hurry to get the "newest and best" product out they don't do proper long term testing and evaluations. some do but most don't.

anyways here is a link I found in a bout 25 seconds on it.
