So I have a server in my room that was acting funny for the past few days. The power supply fan would get stuck and I would have to push it to get it running again. Anyways, I know this is against fire code I’m sure, but I had papers, manuals, and a blanket sitting on top of it and the power supply got very hot and something inside caught on fire. (My guess the paper on the coils. These power supply’s for servers are much bigger than what’s in your desktop PC) Caught the papers on fire and the blanket was smoldering. it smelled AWFUL. There wasn’t much damage in the closet. just some minor smoke damage. Had servpro come today and they cleaned it up. the smell is gone now for the most part except in the closet. but they said it will go away soon. So for now I’m just using glade plugins I’m sure the damage wouldn’t have been bad if I were gone as the blanket was just smoldering. But you never know. I’m surprised on how much smoke there was in my room before the I3 detector picked it up! Guess I may put one in the closet since that’s where the servers are. Anyways, what a close call! SMOKE DETECTORS WORK PEOPLE. and I literally JUST installed this system! Glad I did! I’m sure a standard battery powered smoke alarm would have worked just as well though.

Guess the video isn’t working. Ill re upload
