Greetings All,
Below is the system that I built last week. After the build I added several older drives that had info on them that I needed. Two were 1TB SATA drives and 2 older IDE 500GB drives. So in total I had 2 DVD, 5 hard drives and an edternal usb drive with files being transfered pluged in. The Rosewill RV2-700 power supply died after a day. Subsequently, I ordered and installed the CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W power supply. I don't want to kill another psu so did I do something wrong with the original setup? It's running fine now but I only have 2 sata drives plus the dvd's hooked up. Is there something I should be doing to the older drives before installing them or was thhis just too much for the Rosewill.
Thanks All
