It seems that when the power supply is about to go, the crackling becomes
more frequent and more pronounced.  Just before the thing went, it sounded
like there was a thunderstorm going on in my office, as the speaker kept
crackling away.  Then, when I returned a bit later, the supply was dead. 
In fact, I cracked the thing open and there is this nice crunchy ceramic
cap, and a couple of clearly overheated spots on the board.

I haven't yet done anything about fixing the supply, as I got the GS
running again.  But I thought I would pass that along in case there are GS
users out there watching for telltale signs of power supply failure...
