raw wattage doesn't mean much in some power supplies(e.g. the cheap shit ones). I personally use PC power & Cooling Exclusively. I have: 2 TurboCool 450ATXs 1 TurboCool 425ATX 2 TurboCool 300ATXs 1 UltraQuiet 180AT they are top quality. there are some other good quality brands as well, be sure to get a good one, /. has an article linking to some review at tom's hardware about power supplies(bad article IMO). Just don't get one of them $15 400watt power supplies, chances are its a piece of crap. and of course never connect a computer to the wall without a UPS, for lowcost, high quality UPSs I reccomend Cyberpower they offer a great "AVR" range(700VA-1500VA) which run great, I have 2 900AVRs and 1 1500AVR. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
