Right, I'm thinking about getting a new PSU for my server, but I'm not too sure if it will definately need it or which one to get.
My current spec is:
Enermax Noistaker 480w
Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2
Athlon XP3200+
1GB Corsair VSM
Bog standard 32mb PCI Graphics card
Sony Floppy
DVD ROM
1 80GB Maxtor DiamondMax 9 or 10 SATA in Coolermaster CoolDrive 6
1 300GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA in Coolermaster CoolDrive 5
2 80GB Maxtor D740X IDE
2 300GB Maxtor DiamondMax 10 IDE
All in a nice Lian-Li PC1100 case
The 2 300GB IDE drives haven't been put in yet, but I will do as soon as I get the PSU issue sorted. The PSU I have in there has been running no problems, but I don't wanna kill it. I'm also thinking about putting watercooling in it soon as it makes a bit of a noise and generates a hell of a lot of heat. I would also like to, at some point, get a SATA controller and replace the 2 80GB IDE's with larger SATA drives so I want to account for this in my PSU choise, I don;t want to have to keep getting a new PSU everytime I put a new piece of hardware in.
I reckon an Enermax Noisetaker 600w should do the job with no problems at all, or would this be overkill? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
