Considering the options for playing games:
1) Keep Winblow$ for playing games, this also means buying new vid card :(
2) Buy a PS3 ... even if it includes DMR :(
3) Try to make Wine work ... it won't :(
4) Buy an XBox 360 and have it crash quite often :(
5) Give up and shoot yourself in the head, cuz everything on this planet sux ass :(
So ... which is the better choice ... the lesser of the evils ? I say #2
Of course, I will also play opensource games for Linux, but there are only so many, and I'll get bored of them some day.

The problem with the power supply is quite common for cheap consumer electronics, to cut cost costs they are designed work the componants close to their absolute maximum ratings and often beyond, sometimes they use typical ratings stated on the datasheets and not the worst case. This results in unreliable products and switching power supplies are one of the most common parts to blow in this manner, my lap top's power supply melted down, as did my electric razor's and a friend's mobile phone charger.
My guess is that the PSU wasn't MS' design, it's probably a 3rd party's, still when are the incompetent electronic engineers working for these companies going to learn how to use datasheets?
By the way the final blame still rests on MS for not testing it properly.

Don't be ridiculous, it's not the electronic engineer's fault. It is the project management team and the penny pinchers who come in and force them to make their circuits cheaper (and crapper).

it's probebly the design teams fault...a psu that powers a powerful machine (yes he xbox360 pwns 95% of computers in gaming) in a tiny little box, maybe they need to put on some heatsinks / airflow ducts, or stick it inside the xbox with some active cooling.
xbox 360 looks like crap by the way... better than the first one atleast. :fu:
