Not sure if he can back up the figures, but this looks cool... PSU Size Calculator

According to this, my minimum PSU should be 327 Watts!! But, he automatically adds a floppy drive, which I don't have... minus those 5 watts, I need a 322W PSU!

So... My 420W should be just fine for a while... Grin

361 Watts on an True Power 430, sweet. I'm thinkin, I have a meter, I need to rig up a way to get to all the ATX wires. Then I can take accurate current measurements, then P=IE... Hmmm, might be interesting to see how close his measurements are.

I know I've been dragging mine down with the 300W Sparkle, but I didn't buy one because I was SUPPOSED to get a 420W from a certain person.

That just proves what I thought, and if I don't get a PSU to review, I'll have to buy one...

I used an EG431 on that Tyan; it'll do fine.....

501W is what it takes to run my main workstation; Enermax EG851 AX-VH is the power source...
