I haven't found any jacks in my electronic parts collection, sorry can't help yet.
Ah, found the thing I was looking for, it's actually a USB hub: I'm sure it could be hacked...

ohhhh, ideas.... (Homer type drool...)
Maybe ThinkGeek.com?
Oh ya, I gotta start sketching... :D
Yup, that method always works. :)
Glad to hear you're up and running again.
If you changed one of your main exhaust fans into an intake, you need to change an intake to an exhaust. I'm guessing you have a build up of hot air inside the case without an adequate route to get...
Ohhhh, ya, ok I get it. I don't recall seeing any lifted pads or disconnected components. The construction looked pretty solid, if not a bit undercooled. ;)
I've seen this before too with a CRT though. The cable was loose. And before you say you already checked, I did read that part. Because the green is coming and going with software settings, I...
As promised, here are some photos. For the full description (and size) please see my Flickr page.

What do you mean, "dry" joints? Pads where the solder has sublimated? (Unlikely)
I plugged it back in after I was done my autopsy just to be sure some "magic" hasn't happened, as I've had before, and there were no more extra smells or sounds. But, I'll give it a try and have a...
Shhh, don't tell them that, they might catch on! ;)
One quick thing to mention; if you're using another provider, like Flickr, they have a rule that you must link back externally linked images. So if you use

Update: Well, I have the replacement brick on order along with two 70mm fans and a couple nice grills. I'll post that mod in the mod forums and provide a link... right here!
I should show you the tip thats missing on my swiss army knife due to 120VAC and the tip that's missing on my multimeter probe from 12 VDC at about 1 amp. :)
So, in the end, I didn't find any obvious signs of something blowing up. No components were visably brown or black, no charring, no obvious scent of "burn" or "dead fish". This power supply is also...

Here we have the main exit cap, 180uF and 420V, good and solid. No visible signs of anything frying here.

Actually, hehe, I did all the work first, did the photos in reverse, and now I'm posting them. I find it's easier to navigate and people can comment on any particular step if I break it up. But...

So, under the bottom plate we have a whole lot of Surface Mount Technology stuff. Again we check for signs of brown scorching, black...

*Gah* Another plate! This one is soldered in. So, out comes the solder iron and the solder wick (great stuff, when used correctly)...

We now carefully remove the interior brick, being careful not to touch the bottom of the circuit board. Upon further examination of...

We continue to expose the wound by removing three screws and set them aside. And off comes... um.. off comes the... *grrr* now what? ...

Upon removal of the cover we find, (aside from a broken screw mount), a large aluminum plate. *grr* well, this doesn't help much. ...
