    Cheap power supply for a multiple core system

    modular power supplies irritate me. i have a 430w antec/seasonic that came with the p150 and it wouldn't start, until i gave each drive (two 160gb ata) their own cable. which makes me say what's the point? still got cable clutter, and don't know if i am stressing the power supply and will make...

    Do you over estimate your PSU need?

    yep i overestimate cause sometimes it still aint enough. the room is sometimes 80 right now without trying -- this crappy 400w huntkey from best buy popped running a measly celeron 356 with one sata and dvdrw...

    4870's now in store at Best Buy, use coupon for 10% off.

    it worked on the visontek 3870 when they were $130 instant. i watched the cash register, he didn't do an override. i think the other situation people are talking about with teh 25% + 10% coupon was because as someone mentioned, they didn't apply it on the 4850 automatically... too new...

    Stable and Efficient, on a budget?

    those antecs are rebranded anyway. how about a top of the line fortron/sparkle or topower (who seem to be the oem for bfg's line of power supplies - the 650w i bought was anyway). got any relatives in america? best buy has some bfg/antec power supplies on clearance... even the 800w is $135.99...

    Question About Rocketfish Case

    the average oem minitower psu length isn't going to be enough. i bought this GT5636E http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/1014825R/1014825Rnv.shtml and the delta 400w cord won't reach in this lifetime. especially with the motherboard's connector all the way up in the right corner. i am thinking now...

    What happened to Antec being the cream of the crop?

    "anyway, it seems Antec is now one of the least preferred brands out there? What happened?" they rebranded/made some power supplies that were incompatible with asus (maybe the most popular diy mboard maker out there during 939 heyday) motherboards. today i swapped this into the rocketfish...
