Oh I see. Thanks for the speedy response. And what about bus-powered drives (2,5inch externals and usbpowered dvd-burners)?
It doesn't even have a PCI-E slot so that won't be problem :p...
And also a somewhat related question: Do larger internal SATA harddrives use more power (e.g. an...
Well I'm builidng a very simple system with the Shuttle K45 barebone and have some question. The system comes with a 100 Watt PSU (which I believe the fine people at Shuttle, after extensive testing, thought was enough). The system will be loaded with a simple CPU (1.6 ghz Pentium), and 2Gigs of...
Actually that time it wasn't under load, but I just measured one of the Hard Drive power molex (I believe that's what there called), and I ran 3D Mark 05 on it, and the Voltage only changed between 12.03V/12.05V. I ran it for 15Minutes.
well I just used the multimeter and grabbed one of those power connecter (the one u use to connect a fan or harddrive). And I measured 12.03V/12.04V (while the system was still on). This means that the PSU is good right?

Well first of all, because I never emphized the importance of the PSU up untill a few days ago when I started reading on the internet and therefor already blew my budget by a small bit.
And second I've read around and I do believe that this Antec Truepower PSU for $80 is by now means a...
Allright I see. Now would this PSU be sufficient?

Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 550W Power Supply - Retail
And the output is: +12V1@19A, +12V2@19A, -12V@1A
So what would the +12V Rail be in this case? Around 38A?
Hello all,
Alright so I just ordered a new ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard which comes with the new AMD AM2 socket.
Now I want a very good and reliable PSU for this system and I was hoping for any advice. The system specs are as followed:
