I had to get up at 2 AM this morning to catch a flight. I plugged in the laptop to copy some videos for flight and it started applying updates (Grrrr...WTF). Then, android pushed some update which I accepted thinking I will do updates before copy. I only managed to get data copied 10 minutes before the cab was supposed to come.

Sure.
The update failed and rolled back, but MS's new policy is to not confess to errors like that, so they'll try again when you're asleep.
Make sure you kiss your computer goodnight, because it might wake up for a while.

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.
