Don't feel bad I blew my cd-rom and hard drive at the same time. I was putting in cathode lights and I must have did something to ruin them. The cd-rom doesn't power up and the PC doesn't recognize the hard drive. It reads "this computer doesn't find a hard drive." So I had to get a new PSU and hard drive. Since I think the PSU had something to do with it I bought a new one and a hard drive.

I got A Enermax 350W and a Western Digital 40gig for $116 shipped.

Lesson learned; Anytime I open the side panel to mess around inside the case I unplug the MAIN plug in the back.
