Building a second back-up rig...
anyhow the case i am going with is:

Now the PSU is my concern.
I have heard report of them dying a little too often.
I have also heard that a new PSU than the original ships with the unit now.
What have you guys heard?
Anyone have any 1st hand experience?

My other option would be to use my spare enamax PSU. its only a 350Watter however.

Thought, Ideas and comments would be much appreciated
Thanks

That website link does not seem to work. Anyway, it depends on how much power you are using. It'll be fine if you are not using too much power. 350W is plenty for regular use. If you are doing overclocking or high powered video cards, you may want to get something else.

this is a backup system....
3200+ that i might undervolt rather than overclock

Mobo with intergarated everything

DVD+R
and a HDD

I would like to get away with using the stock PSU as its slimer than a normal ATX PSU.

Those Aspire psu's blow... get the Enermax 350 in there. First hand experience... Wouldn't run a 3000+, a gig of ram, a hd, and an optical drive. Cooked one mobo before it finally decided to not run for more than 20 seconds at a shot.

Aspire 420W = 120W This was with the upgraded PSU that has more magic amps.
My own Mini has a 220W that pushes a P4 2.4(northie), 9700Pro, a hd, a optical, upgraded cooling solutions, and a floppy.

Any info on the new (?) PSU that is shipping?

From what I've heard the X-QPack is big enough for a normal ATX PSU. Check the reviews at Newegg.

i have read many reviews, all good
I have read many forums all mixed....

Regular ATX PSU needs a short ROM. or it wont fit, or be very tight anyhow

I just hope thier support team gets back to me soon
