is it big enough?

quick question, will my Antec NeoHE 500 be able to support a second 8800gts?

system in sig (+ two SATA western digital hard drives, two lite-on dvd burners, 1x120mm fan, and 2x80mm fans)

Maybe.. those cards call for 26a on the 12v rail.. I would probably look at a solid 650~700w psu at the minimum... Or just go big and get a 1kw now and future proof a little.

Probubly. The 26a figure is for the ENTIRE SYSTEM, not just the cards. Sorry.

 

[digital_exhaust]

Your right, my bad. I answered "maybe" after reading through this, and I made the mistake of assuming that the OP may want to look into a "bigger" psu in order to assure that the system would be 100% stable.

I admit I skimmed the linked page a bit and probably didn't pay quite enough attention to the particulars...

It's more than enough for an 8800GTS.

Minimum for that card is not 650+. It's probably 450w+ with decent efficiency.

Did you read the OP?

I know it's enough for one... but was not sure about two...

yeah it powers my existing GTS no problem... i was just wondering what the chances of adding another were without having to upgrade my PSU.

lol i thought i was future proofing when i bought a 500w.... oh well.
