Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw
Lol, This is too easy, but just wanted to recollect memories back from several years ago!
We have spoken about this once, and this is one of our favorites, and this has come up yet again in new avatar  . Guess that?

My desktop wouldn't boot today - no pre-POST beep, no keyboard lights, no display - just drives spinning up.
Deep joy. Pretty sure it's the PSU - it's only a dinky little thing on this, and it may well be that the new SSD and multiport SATA card I fitted in Feb have pulled it over the edge - particularly since I managed to get it to boot by unplugging the DVD and data HDD drives.
Oh...elephant...new PSU time - and that means hassle because a standard PSU won't fit in that space, so it's a new case as well. It's currently working fine, with just the DVD drive unplugged but it's in bits all over my desk!
A quick check online, and it's only a 200W PSU - so it's quite possible I've been stressing it for a while since the graphics card alone is around 100W 
Oops...must get a current clamp adapter for my multimeter...

Even if you had to get an external PSU, you should be able to put in in a case of some sort and graft the cables in

Really?
There are people out there right now, with a special pager, just waiting on the call (for either themselves or worse, their child), just hoping against hope that they survive long enough for that fateful beep meaning a heart has become available.
They might not like the joke.

You can't even parse a simple English program very well. What makes you think the computer (as programmed by people) will do better?
Euphemism is the word/idea you needed here - joke doesn't fit..

Easiest is probably a standard case with 500W PSU, and swap the whole guts over. It's an Acer half height at the moment, but it looks like uATX format M/B and having a full height case would reduce the Heath Robinson factor in there to a more "coherent" level. I'm looking at cases and PSU's now.

You know, Barack Obama gets a bible quote on his Blackberry every morning. I think I can start a service of providing a Trump gaff every morning to your mobile. I'll be richer than Trump

The sole reason, I ditched all Desktops I had. I had a bunch of them at home and at work. I just hate fiddling with this particular issue. Sheer time waster. I started disliking Desktops very much, long ago.

There was a time when Christian was the single highest poster in this forum, with a stellar reputation. And he had nothing but problems in his life and online - the world was out to get him. I'm seeing some parallels here.

That's even weaker than my wives old dell desktop. She bought it because it was no hassle... 
Then she found it wasn't good enough for her games she wanted to play so I got a GPU since it only had integrated. Then there was the little problem of lacking connectors of sufficient size of the psu. Was a 350W but only had a few 4pin connector and I think I needed a 6 or 8.
200W isn't even half a HP. You should get at least 800W psu because more HP = more speed which should result in better overall performance and speed of your work? ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif)

Lloyd working at MNET in Brisbane here!
For whatever reason an internal new product I am working on must use the database server in Adelaide! 
(Only 6000 km away!...)
Today our sales people are demoing this new product to a bunch of government people.
For some reason, let's call it Murphy's law, the Adelaide IT people apparently decided that today was a also good day to shutdown the database server VM my new application is using....
The rest, as they say... is (unfortunate) history...
