The Generation 1 Power Supply
This power supply is not known to be a tremendous source of pain to maintain.
However, it is sideways just like the Gen 2/3/4 cards.
The Generation 2/3/4 Power Supply
Very well known and the pain these cause is also well known. This PSU card is sideways like the Gen1 card.
As a result of this, the acid leaks sideways down the card and destroys a lot of resistors, the relay, etc. It is uncommon to clean, recap, and then the PSU card dies months later.
Hearing a whining sound when the computer is plugged in and not turned on is an indicator that the capacitor near the black relay has leaked badly.
