So, after coming home to find the server had gone down for a third time in twelve hours - and also hearing the horrific grinding noises the power supply made when I turned it back on - I have finally replaced the fucking thing with a new one. I'm extremely glad I'm such a packrat when it comes to... well, everything, but in this case, holding onto a spare power supply from another machine has allowed me - a couple years after initially deciding to keep it - to easily and quickly replace the broken part.
Hopefully these shenanigans with the server falling over at random will be at an end (knock on wood). I can physically feel the difference in the air flow coming out of the new power supply, so it should no longer grind-'n-die.
