I am surprised to hear you have had such problems with your power supply.
I have a 520st that I purchased back in February of 1986.  It has since
served me quite well in the power supply area.  I once heard a rumour that
the power supplies on the earlier STs were flaky and that after a time,
they would burn out the computer when the computer was turned on.  The 
purpoted solution was to leave the ST on constantly, which was supported
by many people on the net at the time.  Since then I have left my machine
on round the clock every day of the year except when I go away for more
than a day.  I have had no problems with the power supply what so ever. 
Recently, I put my ST into storage because I had the opportunity to
bring home a 1040 that had a blown monitor that some of you may have 
heard of.  I have noticed that the 1040 gets quite warm after a few hours
of uptime.  As a result, I shut the machine down when I am done using it.   

Is there any problem with leaving a 1040 on for extended periods of time
as a result of the power supply getting too warm?
