I just scraped together some old parts that I'm going to use as a server.
I need to purchase an inexpensive power supply to along with it, and I'm noticing that the CX400W is quite popular these days.
However, the CX400W likes to deliver most of it's power on it's single 12V rail. I know that ATX 1.X PCs prefer most of the power on the 5V and 3.3V rail.
Will 130W max on the 5V and 3.3V be enough for these components? :
Athlon Socket A 950
2x 256MB DDR 2700
nVidia TNT2 32MB
PCI 2 Port SATA Controller (Silicon Image generic, purchased for this)
52X IDE CDROM drive
320GB Western Digial SATA HD
ECS K7S5A
80mm Fan
Some of the G-LUXON caps are already bulging on this board. What can a board death by bad caps take with it? I'd like some true stories here as I have a feeling the board is going to die, but I'd rather let it die and replace it than recap.
