That's why I always put a 100mA fuse on my circuits.

Oh, so your 'glorious' PC runs on <100mA?  That's interesting, because a
3.5" HDD run on 12V and each one draws up to 12W, so each one of yours
needs 10x more amperage than your fuze allows.

 That fantastic, technically perfect power supply is for the microphone.

Ah, so you were being ambiguous again on your claims.
But if this alleged fuze is for the microphone, then where is it?
FYI, claiming it is "hidden" doesn't fly because that means that you chose to make it unservicable, despite already having two panels which would have been easy & conveniently mounted:  you're showing that if a fuze does exist, you have a piss-poor circuit design implementation.
FWIW, I think I had one of the dot matrix printers you designed for decades ago ... you know, the one with the refitted board on the print head to add the wheatstone bridge that had been forgotten?  /s
And of course your other problem is that your so-called 'microphone' is just one piece of cruddy shit you have laying around without adequate electrical protection:  where's the safety/fuzes for each of the PCs?
Better go lick your fingers and start checking if they're grounded.
