350w should be enough because neons run off 5w each i have 5 fans and 4 neons and im running a 350w power supply.

Well... then there's not that much difference between me and him...


Come to think of it... how many chips have you fried? tongue.gif

I have ran two power supplies before running just may fans on the extra power supply, as for putting them together I have heard it can be done just not sure of the process. As for us getting off topic I don't have a clue how that happens, I don't even know him lol. biggrin.gif He just starts talking and away we go. biggrin.gif  As for frying my chips that was me being more stupid then anything. wink.gif

I havent started my Mod yet, just working out the setup.
So what do the pros say?
Is my 250W Power Supply Unit (PSU) gonna give me enuf power 2 run my AMD 1800, 3 HDs 2 CD-DVD drives, a neon light ( possibly two ) and 5 fans?
posey
NO!!!

250w is NOT going to do it!

350 should be good. But if you are planning on adding more stuff in the future go higher. It is always better to have more power then not enough.  :D
bosco
lol ya but the only thing with him is everything blows up. biggrin.gif
bosco
lol very true and that would 7 total. But nothing else blew up so thats a good thing I guess.  biggrin.gif

I can see it now... we could have our own show... Call it "PC Improvement"....

Today, we are going to increase our power in our system by combining TWO Aluminum 520W TOPOWER ATX Power Supplies... This should give us more than enough power for that super overclocking job we've been waiting on, as well as enough light for our entire house...

Now, Bosco.. if you would, just tie those two brown wires together, and we will be all finished and ready to test this out...

*****Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz*****

Oh [lots of beeps]!!!! Did you see that? Holy [more beeps]!! [Beep]!!  Well, way to go... you let the smoke out of it... we'll have to go get another proc now.

And on tomorrows episode of "PC Improvement".....
