Well, i know i have this power supply...

http://www.bestbyte.net/Product.cfm?Produc...ryID=3&Keyword=

And i wanted to go with something either quieter, thermaly controlled, or manualy controlled on the fans. But its only a 300 watt and I am thinking if i need more. Ive got all together hooked up...

2 optical drives
Motherboard
hard drive (soon to be 2)
Fan controller (+6 fans)
floppy
zip drive
2 cold cathodes

And with my raging overclocking biggrin.gif, im not sure on what wattage power supply i would actualy need. How do you tell?

Also, quiet and cool... any recomendations? trying to stay in the 60$ range at most

(sorry if this shouldnt be posted here, but i guess i couldnt figure out a better spot!)

i hate to say this but you probably already need a new ps i wouldnt overclcok without one get about a 420 or so and youll be set but i wouldnt have all that hooked up to a no name brand ps. if you get a new ps get a enermax.
