A few days ago, we were on vacation and I left my power supply at the hotel room. Rather than wait for them to mail it back to me, I ordered a new knock off from Amazon with 1 day shipping. It gets here and I plug it into my laptop which immediately begins smoking. It's now dead and repair shop is telling me it's toast, better to buy a new one. So now I'm out a $1000 (i7, 16gb, 17", NVidia gaming system).... all because I bought a cheap knockoff power supply.
