Maple story private servers

Lately I have been getting back into maplestory by playing on private servers. I quit playing Maplestory because training my character on Nexon's servers was slow and boring. But when I found out how easy it was to play on a private server, I signed up right away. The server I am currently playing on has 500x experience so leveling up is a breeze. It also has the benefit of being less populated than the official server, so less kill stealing and generally less lag. Playing on private servers seems pretty fun so, my new goal is to create my own private server for personal use. However there are a few problems at the moment. The developers of the OdinMs source are currently in a legal suit with Nexon at the time. Getting the source code may be a problem. Another problem may be finding out how to set up the stupid server properly. Oh well, If I cant make my own server I'll just stick to playing on them.

Power supply exploding

Today at work i was working on a computer that required me to install a copy of windows xp on it. I plugged it in and then went to turn it on and realized that I had forgotten to flip the switch. I reached back to the power supply, and when a flipped the switch, a loud bang and a big flash followed by a cloud of smoke came out of the power supply. Fortunately the computer was not damaged, although the power supply is going to be RMA'ed. The power supply was an Enermax noise taker 420 watt. For the rest of the day I was hesitant to touch any power buttons for fear of getting zappped.
