Actually I used to have an AMD 2400+ and had it oc'ed at 2.2ghz and 133 FSB with 1024mb pc2700 ram and a geforce 6600GT and I had OpenSUSE (older version using GNOME) and Mepis linux on it for a while before the upgrade on my sig.. ran perfectly still have it now using it now as a file server

Lmao shame on people, who bought that.

I have an old 386 that would probably not have a problem. I can see using it for a thin client... maybe.

I'd put that in my rig to power lights and such, I suppose, I mean, geez, it costs less than the lights themselves...

I do like the send it to JonnyGuru idea, that'd be funny...although I wouldn't want him to spend much time on it. You could name it something silly on the box and have him use it as a paperweight or something, maybe we could put a "Thanks from OC Forums, we got you a great PSU!".

On the other hand, maybe this was a great PSU back in the Socket A days ( or before ), and NewEgg's computer system just kept depreciating it, although I highly doubt it. Just a thought, as I'm sure in 10 or so years my 7800GTs will be pretty funny...."High Power Graphics!"...but then we all know that

ok who will pay for the psu and send it to JonnyGuru?

that is tempting................

how much you wanna pay me if i do? =)

Oh look, with that PSU you can also order "special" fire proof furniture to go with it on their website : http://www.jpaccomputer.com/furnitures.htm



Their cases look like copy cats from other case companies such as Aspire

and a review to go with it (about the PSU that comes with it)


Pros: Nice LED's if you're into that, fairly spacious inside, big enough to stuff 4 drives and a BFG 8800.

Cons: Jpac 500W power supply that came with the case promptly exploded the second I launched into 3d video mode. 500 watts is worthless if you only have 4 connectors to run 8 devices... you can only split those so far. No PCI-E power meant 2 of those had to be dedicated to video, and I had to split 4 hard drives, the front LEDs, a CDROM and a DVD Burner on the two others. Slapped a BFG 1KW PS in there, and it screams. The case is very flimsy, but you get what you pay for.

Other Thoughts: If you do buy this case, be prepared to buy a seperate power supply... all in all fifty bucks wasn't a bad price considering the nice front panel to monitor your hardware temps.

i died laughing when i came to this line

My brother's old system had an Allied 300W in it for about half a year. It was light as an empty soup can and put out low voltages but the system was totally stable. System was low end by today's standards though -- Athlon XP Palomino 1600+ and overclocked GeForce2 Pro 450. He had me put an Allied 400W in it before giving the system to a friend in need. Amazingly it's still running great today. That was the first computer I ever built. It pleases me to know it still works.
