One of my co-workers moved a DK40 for a customer that remodeled his new office himself. Got everything on the wall and connected, plugged it into the outlet, and made sure it worked. About 5 (yes, five) minutes later, it started smoking. After he unplugged it and checked everything, he found out that the outlet (a normal duplex wall outlet) was connected to 240V at the breaker box. Plugged the system into an actual 120V outlet and it still works, even though one capacitor in the power supply exploded.
And I thought electronics ran on smoke, once you let it out, it quits working.
