power supply
Helo all
I will be buying a Asustek S478 Intel 845PE ATX A L R with a P4 2.66 512KB S478 processor, and having looked at all the Atx cases on Dabs, they range from 180 watt to 400 watt, some are even marked as 12 volt, soory if this sounds like a silly questtion, but how do I know what wattage my mainboard and cpu will work at, I live in the UK with a 240 volt power supply if it helps Thanks Dave |

Go for a 400 watt atx powersupply. You'll be good when you want to upgrade
your system in the future. My powersupply is 500 watt from levicom (very silent). "dave" schreef in bericht ...

It will drop that voltage and convert it to DC so your computer can use it. Choose a power supply rated for 350W minimum. Sparkle, Enermax, and Antec are all good brands. Since these run around the £50 range, it may be more cost effective to find a case sold with a PSU. -- If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you.
