Is this thing suppose to be putting off a faint smell, seems to be rather warm to.
 
Call it the "new computer smell". It should go away soon. The warmth you feel is normal too.

to me the new car smell is a reminder of how many volatiles they put into the leather and plastic, and how bad they are for you:p

New CD-R's remind me of coconut for some reason.

They are bad for you, yes, but it smells so GOOD!! I love that new car smell. It has intoxicating powers:p

I hate the new car smell also. I'm a smoker and it still took me over a month to get the smell out finally. It almost made me sick to my stomach some of the time. I just don't care for the smell at all and it's also a reminder of how much debt I had just put myself into. Before my current car, 2003 ZX2, the most I had paid for a car was like $1200. Doesn't take too long to pay something like that off. That is if I didn't just fork over the cash outright.

As far as the smell from the PSU, as long as the smell isn't a burning smell and the system is working right, then don't worry about it.
