So yea, this morning, I listening to mp3s and it smelled like something was burning inside the computer. I didn't shut it off (just because I wanted to see what would have happened :)). The rig is below in my rig. The system doesn't smell anymore, but it still works fine. What happened? :confused:

Note: The Ultra has been switched out with a TT 420W until I get my Fortron tomorrow.

It's like 1-2 weeks old, so there's virtually no dust. No digicam, but if it starts smelling again, I'll try to narrow down exactly where its coming from. My first guess was the PSU exhaust fan, but the smell wasn't from there.
