Hi Corey,
Yoy've probably already got this figured out but heregoes. Have upgraded and installed dozens of puters. The power supply I always recommend is Adaptec. Never had one fail or burnout or just plain go buggy. You do have a bunch of drives the power supply total rating will be important. You can get charts on the net for the power supply requirements of typical components & total & peak power needed. 400W sound a little low for what you want to do. Hope this helps RGPHNX ===================================================== QUOTE(Corey @ Jan 25 2005, 05:02 PM) i will have this configuration soon and what power supply should i buy with it?

Chieftec 420W double fan.. would it be OK for 3 x hard disks and 2 x cd/dvd drives....? |

I still get along with a 230W and a P3, one HDD, one laptop HDD and one DVD-ROM
you need a good 500W package, don't go for cheap ones, they use cheap capacitors and cheap parts and fail very occasionally. Get a good solid brand. |
