Awesome thanks a lot, it seems the answer is pretty clear, now just to find someone with a 3850 FS

So I was just wondering if you guys had suggestions for a low Watt but good video card (PCIe) I'm currently eying either the HD 3850 or 3870 I read the article here about them but I also heard that the 9600GT is a competitor for low wattage. Basically price is part of it and i would be buying it use...

what about the earthwatt380 v. the SS-250SFD, the 380 gets ~83% efficiency while the 250SFD only gets ~77%, I'm leaning towards the 380 which I can get for a similar price and I think it would have more future use in it.

Components: -Random Mobo I have -AMD XP 2800+ - GeForce2 MX400 -1x 120gb WD Hd (maybe 2) Then comes the debatable PS. I'm...

Link Here If anyone in the US wants to try it, go ahead and tell us your opinion. I would try it myself if the shipping costs to europe were...

So I got my 1200RPM Slip stream and i compared it with the one in the power supply and there was a significant difference in the air they pushed. On top of that my 500W Purepower does have the Fuhhjyu capacitors not the ones you specified, but i got me worried. So first lets say i go ahead and try t...

I currently have a thermaltake Purepower Twv 500w, the fan is causing a great deal of noise in my case so I am planning on replacing it with a Scythe SY1225SL12L pushing 40cfm. I think the current fan is pushing more than that but i'm not sure but basically i'm just concerned about whether the repla...
