In Memory of some Good Parts who Gave Their All

- or -

Snap! Crackle! & POP!

Although I can safely say that no people, plants or animals were harmed during this project, the same cannot be said for some of the parts involved on the front lines. These gallant parts gave their utmost during the design phase of the Switching Power Supply. Although some of them ended their days quietly and without a whimper, but some of the Big Boys went out with a great roaring BANG! and a cloud of smoke - along with some flying shrapnel. All of them expired during the early stages of the project. The cost of these deceased parts was zero, since they all were scrounged from used computer power supplies.
