Okay! Main computer is up and running again! It turns out that the CPU burned out; there's a nice big burn mark in the middle and that's what was making the smell. So phew, I have access to all my stuff again! AND RIGHT NOW I'M GOING TO BACK UP EVERY DAMN THING ON MY HARD DRIVES!!!

Yeah, I'm glad it was anything but my hard drives! I have lost hard drives in the past along with all my files, it's horrible. Now I try to keep everything in more than one place in case something fails, but I get behind on backing things up and that's when I can get screwed.

I've had other stuff literally burn out before. Once I had some memory burn out, and I mean burn out so that it was *smoking*! Crazy. No smoke this time but I sure smelled it! Always know something bad's happened when my comp smells like it's on fire... :p

Hope you get your truck fixed up soon! I feel your pain, I had to get the entire transmission in my old car replaced before :(
