But it wasn't over burdened.
It was in the kitchen, cause that was also where the utility closet is. and our 100+ year old building has crappy/dirty power, frequent brown-outs.
So, a few weeks of splashing coffee, tea and other crap around, and our crap power the thing started humming (60Hz). Then one day POP! Cap blew out and there was a little smoke.
Also fried more than a few ports on devices when passive POE used to be more prevalent :p
