[Techtalk] strange hardware question

[Maria McKinley]

Hi there,

Has anyone had an experience where a computer case seems to "go bad"? I 
had a computer die on me, and ever since then, even though I have 
changed out all of the innards, I can't get the hardware to boot up 
anymore as long as it is in this case. This is actually the 2nd time 
this has happened to me, and the other case I finally just got rid of. 
Any idea what could happen to a case to cause this?

cheers,
maria
