any type of tower pretty much. Go with at least 400 watts with running lights  :D

Can anyone recomend a nice PS for my new system?

I would think it would need to be at least a 350W to push the following:

Case Fans (Getting a Lian-Li 70 - this has what 6 fans?)
GF4Ti 4600
AMD 2000 w/ 1024M DDR 2100
Volcano 7+
Neons (at least 2 maybe 3)
CD-RW/DVD

yatta yatta yatta...


Oh yeah... needs to be something that wont clash.. tongue.gif

I don't have any lights or stuff like that, but I do have a 450 Watt PS i got cheap at CompUSA i think. It was under 75 bucks, maybe 60 on sale. It works for me smile.gif
d3bruts1d
Bah.. CompUSA is over priced on everything...

I'll probably get this:
Enermax 530W Ultra Quiet ATX Power Supply: EG651P-VE (FMA)
Psywar
yeah I would go with an enermax..

Though I am not to fond of them myself.. they seem to make the best PSU's out there..

but.. come on d3bruts1d you know when u asked we were going to say something like..

the all new ENERMAX 900 watt blah blah blah smile.gif

then bosco:
"More POwer *grunt*"

that was a silly question smile.gif

but hey!

Get the higher powerd one!!!

now bosco u can step in anytime now smile.gif

If I could figure out how to get it to work, I'd just run a line directly from the PC to the transformer out at the street...

So far, it doesn't work.
Psywar
see what I was thinking.. get a metal wire.. solder it on the the motherboard.. run the wire out side.. and throw it really high in the air around the power lines and just get my power like that smile.gif
d3bruts1d
hrmm... or fly a kite.

I think you may be on to something there tho.
Psywar
ooh.. and this just came to mind..

solder the wire on the the harddrive.. toss the line over the power line..

Instant downloads smile.gif
bosco
900 watts MORE POWER!!!!!!! Grunt Grunt. biggrin.gif B)
Psywar
yay! there he is!!
d3bruts1d
I wonder tho...

Has anyone ever wired 2 PSs together?
Psywar
sorta yea...
what I did was dual PSU
I ran one wire from the second psu.. to the other wire on the 1st PSU.. I cant remember exactly how I did it..

It dident run like 1 400watter.. it ran as 2 seprate 200watters..but they were both on..

bah I cant explain it..
