That seems very likely.  The bad news is that they're not a standard
item, you can't just swap them for something from Best Buy.  And
worse, they're expensive.  If it does turn out to be the PS, try
calling <http://www.californiadigital.com/>... they might be able
to help you.

Or, buy yourself a cheap-ass machine with similar architecture, swap
the hard drives over, and see if it boots back to the same server
you know and love.  It just might!  :)
