Power Supply

[MacaroneePenguin]

What are the reason(s) why I should get a 400W Power Supply (from Antec) rather than 300W?

More is always better :)

If you are like me and you are running such "high power" components like a GeForce Pro 64, TDK CD-Burner, Pioneer DVD-ROM, a host of USB devices and a caseload of fans (10 fans to be exact)...

Then you might need the extra "ummph" that a 400W power supply can give. This will solve alot of those "mysterious" system crashes that seem to pop up when the power levels get a little taxed.

Personally, mine is an Enermax 451

10 fans, huh? Does it float? Heh, j/k. Thanx for the info. Where can I look into the Enermax power supplies?

Or when your room is 20 degrees warmer than the rest of the house in the winter (in the summer I definately have to open windows)

honestly man i don't think you need more than 300 i got a 1.2 gf2 pro dvd cdrw 52xcdrom. 2case fans and a fop38. No problems with power at all(running a 300w). Overkill is a little bit on some people's minds.

Thank You Clutchy, I really didnt feel like spending an extra $50 if I didnt have to.

no prob man/ hey dark it seems like we're always on opposite sides of the argument it's kinda funny you're always go hell all out, and i'm like well u really don't need it. Just an observation kinda interesting though how 2 personalities can differ so much. hehe later
