After suffering our fifth loss of a slab power supply, I thought I would
post to see if anyone else has been seeing this problem.  In 4 of the
cases, the slab would not respond to the power key.  We've swapped
keyboards, sound boxes, etc. -- no luck. The other power supply smoked itself into
oblivion.  Four of the cases were covered under warranty, and the failures occurred
in the infant stages. So, is a 5 out of 13 ratio considered bad? 
We also have 4 cubes that have been flawless.
