My PSU smells like burning plastic, which i assume to be the wireing, How easy do you think it would be to fix a psu weather tis the wires or possibly something else with just some rewiring/resleeving/soldering?
 
Hehe

Well I when you smell what you smelled, then the likelihood of you fixing the PSU is very small. Just because you smell plastic does not mean it was a wire. It could have been a capacitor blowing and melthing its plasti cover. Did you open up the PSU yet?

If you open it up and don't know what you're doing you can die.. it can hold elctricity for months while being unplugged

I know it might not be wire, but if it was a capacitor I dout the PSU would still work fine, which it does and I'm currently actully running it fine on this comptuer, and hopefully it last's at least untill tomorrow so i can order a new psu....[Whcih i was going to do anyways, but my plan was to use thie one on another crappy PC I'm building for e-mail/internet up in my room]

Edit:No I didn't open it up, I want to anwser all my e-mails before it die's/or I break it heh, and I'm posting on breaks :(
