Yes, a good reason... I wish my wallet agreed.  My power supply on my GS
is going too.  Same symptoms; dimming screen, power supply buzzing noises...
I've disconected my 5.25.

I called AE, but, they do not make a GS power supply replacement.  I have
not had a chance to call Sun Remarketing yet.  One difference in my setup
is that aside from my 1.25meg Apple Ram card, I do NOT have any other cards
installed.  You may want to try running your system without some of those
cards you listed in your original post.
