Power Supply

[dpaige]

I'm building a PC and need to know which power supply I should use. I planning to have a Lian Li PC-60 case with the following installed:

1ghz AMD Athlon (266mhz)
256 DDR SDRAM
ATI Radeon 64 DDR
DVD-Drive
CD-RW-Drive
30 Gig HD
Zip Drive 100
Floopy. What wattage should I get?

Start with a 300w, anything upwards is better.

I highly reccomend Enermax power supplies. I have the 431 watt flavor, but they also make a smaller 350 watt one. They are somewhat pricy, but worth the money. The damn thing has like 12 molex connectors. Plus, it has a bottom intake fan which is really a benefit.

That oughta void your warrenty!

You need at least 300 watt. I would recommend pc power and cooling. I have a 350 watt unit from pc power and cooling. From what I know they make very high quality power supply and have extensive line of selection.

You can check it out at their web site

Dont forget to check power requirements. A pcpower&cooling 300 turbo cool only handles a athlong 850 and slower. The 350 handles right on up to 1.4GHz. Thats 150W versus 220W max output between the two.
