What do you Think about THIS

[Zeke]

Alright, these are the final specs for my friends comp....

Abit IC7-MAX3
P4 2.8C
Mushkin 1GB PC-3500 Lvl 1
ATI 9800 Pro
WD SE 120 GB

Now, the case we are going to order comes with a 400 watt iCute power supply, is that gonna be enough for that system?

I'm not familiar with the iCute brand, but yes, 400W is plenty.

Cheap power supplies can ruin expensive computer components. I've never heared of iCute, so I would think they would be uber-cheap quality. If you want to be safe, I'd pick up a name brand power supply of like 350 watts or so. Stick with Antec, Fortron, Enermax, Vantec or ThermalTake. If I forgot any name brands, someone please feel free to add on.

A cheap power supply can ruin a completely good computer. It's worth the investment to keep your computer safe and increase stability.


Just my two cents

iCute......

That 400W PS you have will be fine, no need to get a different one. The rest of your setup looks good too.

I wouldn't risk a cheap power supply. Go for a name brand.

i would say if he isnt OC'ing then stick with what u got...if is planning on doing some serious OC'ing then it might be worth upgrading...but only if he finds the iCute isnt up to it...
