I feel the need to comment on the connector issue here. The one of my four PC's that had an issue was due to the Furutech FI-50 carbon connector (non-NCF material, but otherwise the same as the NCF design). There was buzzing noise and a puff of smoke from the connector before the power conditioner's circuit breaker tripped. After removing from the system, I opened up the connector, and it appears the spacing of the screw terminals for the wires are wider than with the stock Viborg ones. This made it pretty hard for Bob to route the wires from his thick/stiff Matrix wire bundle into the screw terminals and secure well. It makes any torque you put on the power connector more capable of pulling the wires out of their screw sockets and potential for short circuiting. This appears to be what happened in my case.
As a result, I'd be very careful about these Furutech connectors, making sure there's enough wire slack for really solidly securing them in screw terminals, and adequate wire insulation between Matrix wire bundle and screw terminal itself within the housing. The very heavy-duty thick and stiff Matrix wire bundle creates quite a bit of torque on the connections as you bend it around to deal with system angles.
