RGPHNX 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2005 Hi Corey, Yoy've probably already got this figured out but heregoes. Have upgraded and installed dozens of puters. The power supply I always recommend is Adaptec. Never had one fail or burnout or just plain go buggy. You do have a bunch of drives the power supply total rating will be important. You can get charts on the net for the power supply requirements of typical components & total & peak power needed. 400W sound a little low for what you want to do. Hope this helps RGPHNX ===================================================== i will have this configuration soon and what power supply should i buy with it? -MSI K8N Neo2 platinum -Athlon 64 3000+ Sck. 939 -2 x 256 MB KingMAX DDR 400 -1 x 512 MB KingMAX DDR 400 -Maxtor 80GB ATA -Maxtor 60GB ATA -Maxtor 160GB SATA -ASUS CD-RW -Pioneer DVD-ROM -NEC ND-1300A -Skystar2 -ASUS 9800pro 256 RAM so what do you recommend for this PC?... now i have MS 400W.....and it's a piece of crap....i can plug only 3disks,and 2 drives......and it's very unstable.. 43319[/snapback] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alperuzi 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2005 I still get along with a 230W and a P3, one HDD, one laptop HDD and one DVD-ROMyou need a good 500W package, don't go for cheap ones, they use cheap capacitors and cheap parts and fail very occasionally. Get a good solid brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
