"Just ram it in!"
Posts: 1,036
I seem to be having a major power supply problem recently. I had been running a very old almost vintage 250W psu out of 5 year old server. After a bit of upgrading i felt that this was inadequate so i picked up a 350W as this was the only competitively priced one in the shop and this died after 3 hours so I replaced it with the old one whilst I waited a week to replace it. Finally got the replacement and this done exactly the same after just 2 hours. So now I’m amazed that a 5 year old 250w could beat two 350w ones.
So now I need some recommendations for a new PSU taking in mind my pc set up.

Pc chips m848A VERSION 2.1 (nothing special but does the job)
AMD 3200+ Barton core
768mb generic ram running at 400 MHz 1x256 1x512
9600se (i hate it 9800pro, soon)
20 GB Maxtor hardrive (full to the brink rest of the stuff is lost in endless files on the network)
DVD rom drive
CD writer
And a floppy drive

I am also looking for a PSU with around 7 4pin cables as i am goin for a new case at Christmas i i want to slap some flashy things in it. Links and prices would be appreciated.
