5+ year old Corsair HX1000 blew up about half an hour ago. Loud "POP", so capacitor must have blown. I tossed my HX520 into the rig for the time being, but I plan on getting a "real" replacement soon, as the HX520 is about as old as the HX1000 was and it doesn't have 8-pin PCIes. I had to use two sets of Molex converters to get my video card powered and I don't have enough cables left to plug the rest of my hard drives in.
Anyways, long story short, even decent quality PSUs have a limited shelf life, so to speak. I guess I should be thankful the PSU didn't take any other components out along with it .
