On a not to be named site  there was a link to a calculator to figure out what size PSU you needed for your computer. Does anyone know where I could find that calculator again? Thanks! |

As soon as I get Deathstar's RAID controller and drop that in, my new rating climbs over 350W minimum!!

Wow not bad, mine turns up to 258... I have a 300watt psu and I have 6 fans on this thing, so add maybe 12 watts worth of fans making it 270 in use. Not too bad. I also have 1 inverter with a CCFL fan and a cold cathode light, but I only turn it on when I want to work inside my computer while it's on, or simply to show it off.
Edit: Did not notice the right section, after putting that I have a network card and usb device, and 6 fans, it passes 300.  not good. I don't have any instability problems though, I guess it's just not goot for the PSU. Might be wrong though, maybe it's more then 300watts, but I'm pretty sure that's what it was when I built this computer.
