I currently have a 300w ps and it is only able to power: 1 hard drive amd athlon 3200+ 2 u360 1 electric ice trackball (no leds) 1 usb wireless device 2 nova matrix marquee lights 2 triple red leds anything more and windows won't even boot :o Besides the above I need to add: 3 led wiz's (~30 led connections in use x2) an additional hard drive and enough over head to add additional lights or something |

A 450W + power supply should suit your needs. |

How positive are you? The power supply is one of those things I don't want to have to buy again;) |

If you want a really good power supply check out some of the pc power and cooling ones. This one in particular is a 500 watt that should be plenty and it's on sale for 20 dollars off. Remember that the watts aren't even thing in getting a good power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703015 |

I wonder if this is a better ps to get since it supports a higher amperage on the 3.3v and 5v rails. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104034 vs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703015 Because I don't have a highend cpu or gpu I think the dual rails should be fine and I think having a higher max wattage on the combined 3.3v, 5v (152w vs 130 on the pc power and cooling) would be a bigger advantage. What do you guys think? |
