[Clusterusers] fly's hardware problem

[Wm. Josiah Erikson]

One of the power supplies was probably bad (dim/flickering lights, and
Google searches had other people experiencing this problem with a bad
power supply). I replaced it with a spare I had sitting around (thanks
Mt. Holyoke)! and hopefully that will be the end of that. Of course, it
could be something else too :)
For now, fly's back up. Hopefully for good, but no guarantees.
