<0> I cut my machine off once a week
<0> Unless I need to clean it outm,
<0> Like I did on monday.
<0> otherwise it just purrs along
<1> I did the math and my machine will be drawing 21.4W on the 12V Rail
<1> So I could easily get away with a 500W supply
<2> MrBriggs depends on the quality
<3> cjdeak: alot of times, you can get a good psu with a new case... get the case for free, with a $50 psu for $30, $40
<0> mre: I know.
<0> See here's the problem
<0> First National Exchange Bank
<4> Did you hear? A facist group has taken over France tonight. Now they're gonna go and conquer the rest of Europe...
<0> Available Balance: $19.29
<4> :/
<0> And in my wallet is another 30 bucks
<3> aww...
<1> phylback: Can you think of a good, cheap 500W supply to buy?
<0> Bwecause all my paychecks are going into the bank to pay bills
<3> MicroCenter has a special right now
<3> $29.99 for a no name brand psu 400W
<3> it's decent, but it's still a no name brand
<1> Specs are 4800+, 4GB Ram, 300GB IDE, Dual 7800GS... 21.4A on the 12V rail
<2> good and cheap don't go together
<1> mre: That would be too small
<2> CJDeak lucky you were able to sell the system so quick
<3> mrbriggs: i agree
<3> hehe
<1> NewEgg has deals like that, too, similar pricing
<4> How about price/quality?
<4> :P :P
<0> phlyback: I had offers, but until I needed money I didn't consider them
<3> newegg has good ****
<3> i'm loving this new cpu i purchased off them
<3> :P
<4> I will pay $95 for that system!
<1> What are some good brands I can look into for PSU?
<3> <-- doing the happy dance
<4> :D->-<
<4> :D-\-<
<0> Briggs: Sunbeam, Antec, Thermaltake.
<2> hang on getting a list
<3> mrbriggs: antec, ultra, thermaltake
<2> sparkle, fsp,powerman
<2> enermax
<2> hec
<2> delta
<3> powerman
<0> PC Power & Cooling even
<1> Thanks
<5> water cooling mmm
<3> i was looking at a site online, with ppl oc'n the chip i got by 170% with water cooling systems
<4> Got 'ny april fools jokes?
<4> Someone like made an autoexec.bat with a PAUSE in it.
<4> Well that was lame.. :o
<1> Sumbeam is good? NewEgg has a 480W Sunbeam for $20.
<1> I wonder if 480W would be enough for this system
<3> it's decent
<3> they make alot of psus
<3> it's not as good as thermaltake or antec
<6> how come i cant f8 on the winxp setup?
<1> I think people grossly underestimate the importance of a good PSU
<3> i agree
<3> i spent some good cheese on mine, when building this machine
<3> it's a Master Power
<3> 500W modular
<2> <1> Sumbeam is good? NewEgg has a 480W Sunbeam for $20.
<3> it's done me good
<2> it's **** then
<3> i wouldn't call sunbeam ****, just cheap
<7> pc hardware industry should work towards reducing power useage instead of needing 90000000000000000w powersupplys
<3> i wouldn't want to run a sli setup off of it tho
<3> especially with raid
<2> daedalus_ good luck with that
<1> This brands are extremely expensive
<1> phylback: I'm thinking it won't be enough power
<1> I need something that can handle around 22A on the +12V rail
<3> 22A?! you're nuts
<8> question. we got a cable modem into a router and have another wireless router that we want to plug into the first one
<3> not even my server takes up that much juice
<2> google directron choose atx
<2> google deer l&c hercules
<1> I did the math, mre
<1> Specs are 4800+, 4GB Ram, 300GB IDE, Dual 7800GS... 21.4A on the 12V rail
<3> and your math is wrong
<2> read the lists on good and bad psu's
<1> I used this wiki to figure out the power usage; http://shsc.info/PowerSupplyGuide/
<3> look... most fuses in a house are 15amps, on 110 current converted from 220
<3> unless you got a good box
<3> in your basement
<3> heh
<3> 22Amps
<3> you're insane
<6> when it asks.. in win xp setup.. format your ntfs partion QUICK or regular
<6> what should i choose
<0> Depends
<0> Quick if you're jsut reformatting, Regular if this is a first format
<6> first
<0> New hard drive?
<1> 4800+ uses 8A, two 7800 GS uses 8.4A,300GB HD uses 2A, DVD-RW uses 1A, CD-Rom uses 1A, mobo & cooling uses 1A
<1> Are those figures wrong?
<3> A by what? there's something in the measurements you're not includeing
<3> 25amps is alot of electric bro
<3> i know what i'm talking about...
<3> it's more than most single fuses can support without tripping
<1> Hmm
<1> I'm not sure then
<1> I got those figures from that wiki at http://shsc.info/PowerSupplyGuide/
<3> a high end system at most will use about 4-7 amps
<1> Like you said, something must be wrong
<3> amps is current
<3> wattage is different
<1> Oh, I was saying 22A on the +12V rail
<1> Is this more accurate?
<1> http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/technology/power_usage/
<3> i still don't understand what you mean by 12+ rail, other than a ref to the mobo voltage
<1> well, I dont know, its just what I read in that wiki
<3> wattage is different tho, than current (amps)
<1> That's how they say to calculate what you need
<1> But should I go by that site I just posted?
<3> well... i can tell you based on specs
<3> what you told us, sli'd video cards, and high end board, with peripherals... no less than 500W, imho
<3> i'd even go higher than that
<3> because you got 7800s
<1> The site I just posted, I added up their totals and it says 717W
<1> I just don't want to come up short or **** anything up, ya know?
<0> See how we're going back to my suggestion off 700+
<3> 700W or more would be about right, if you got more stuff on the system than you told us
<3> completely
<3> but don't skimp and forget to get a good UPS
<3> heh
<3> UPS is as important as a goo PSU
<9> does anyone know of a software that will recover a HD that has been ghosted
<10> yes, but you'll never know
<11> hirens boot cd?
<3> hirens is good ****
<3> good utils
<11> yezir
<3> http://www.9down.com/story.php?sid=6303
<3> has it available for download
<3> alot of popups
<3> too
<3> but it's there
<1> Is a UPS really neccessary?
<3> don't click on the popups
<3> heh
<1> This machine isn't for myself, btw
<3> mrbriggs: naw... unless you like risking frying all that nice hardware, and/or having to redo the os
<1> You mean no if I like doing all that?
<12> ****, I just shaved my armpits
