(love the avatar) --- End quote --- Two things - I would try not to leave the computer running without fixing the fan. I have been recommending this power supply to anyone who will listen. It's rock solid, near silent, $35 shipped, actually specs better than many higher wattage supplies so the 300 is plenty. With shipping, a PSU fan will probably run you at least $15 dollars, and who knows what all that extra heat may have done to the PSU internals in the mean time. |

Well, I just found that out, but, my power supply, it's not,, like,, a box. It's flush with my computer, and it's got a slanted fan.... "newton power" is all I can read on it right now, but it's shaped like this "-----" then the fan is mounted like this "/" Gah, I'll figure it out. it looks alot smaller than the power supplys I was looking at. |

Great... http://www.barebonekit.net/itemdesc.asp?ic=CSPGW160WATT&eq=&Tp= Thats it, and it says "Gateway ATX 160 Watt power supply! Very rare and hard to find." Great. 100 bucks? Screw that, can't I just get a cheaper one that won't fit in that case? or maybe just move everything over to a new case. (stupid gateway) |
