Need New Power Supply

Post by Unholy »

My bros third PSU died today and I need a new one to replace(again :mad: ) it and was wondering if this would be enough for it. Link Needs to power a 2000+ XP, GF3, DVD Burner, and 2x 120GB Drives. He also leaves it on 24/7.

What you really need to look at is the Amp rating. And yeah that should be enough for what he has.

That P/S should do the trick. This is also a very nice one that I just installed in a buddies comp on Sat.

I guess I get the Foxtron then I don't think he needs all the fancy stuff from the Enermax, Thanks. :thumb: Took 3 crappy PSU at $25 each from CompUSSR and I had to replace them knowing they will blow in a year because of the idiot "what's the difference" logic. :mad:

Antec (I love their True Power series), or Enermax...the only two brands I'll spend cash on.

I second the Antec vote. That's all I buy too.

I've already got the Foxtron for my bro, it should be good enough for him. I myself have whatever the Antec Sonota came with and it's pretty quiet.
