PSU Xploded!
« on: August 04, 2010, 12:14:45 AM »
I was trying to put in a different CD/DVD drive into a working comp.. and when I plugged it with a different power connection after switching out the drives... it exploded.

The system is nothing worth speaking about (it's a P2), but I was wondering what could be had for around $50 and cover 300-400 Watts of power with one of the 80 Plus certified stuff... and it has to be a reasonable brand name I guess.

This PSU will be used for an alternative backup if one of the main comps have their PSU explode...

Optional: More power and/or detachability/modular and/or something better than plan old 80 Plus...

All the optional things you want are out of your price range. srsly.

Also, a Pentium 2 will not need 400 watts. trust me on this. I could build a high end system on 400 watts.

Here's a good PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681737103

Well, I managed to find what I was looking for.

I'm well aware of this, but this is going into a different system temporarily if and when shit happens.
There's a P4 system I do have that has is kinda wonky, so what I'm buying for is for that, and then use that older PSU on the P2 system.
