Currently I don't have a SMTP server configured. As soon as my system is trustworthy, again, I'll do that.

I have all PCI slots filled with cards, two big IDE hard drives and one DVD RAM writer. I already disconnected the DVD drive, as this was nearly unusable with all those IDE errors. The power supply is (AFAIR) a 200 watt one.
But may the power supply cause corrupted data? Shouldn't that crash down the PC completely?
