That's the ticket right there!  Something overheated and caused the 
isolation from the mains to short to the DC side.  That's your fire and 
electrical shock.

I have some really good bandwidth at newsguy.com.  They haven't enforced 
the quota for me when getting a really good slashdotting.  So if you want 
to STICK IT TO THE MAN and post some pictures, I would be honored to help!

It disturbs me greatly that Dell would deny all responsibility and blame 
it on everything else but their own equipment.  Weasel bastards.  I bet 
they want you to THANK THEM they would even take your call.  Put the 
customer back in service and make them honor their commitment to their 
customers.
