Time for a better power supply...
I am considering either a Q-Tec 550watt PSU, which costs £23
Or, an Enermax 350watt (£43).
Several things:
If I get a PSU with the AUX and PIV connectors, (I'm considering the duallie road, but not right now), will it work with just the ATX power connector in use?
Also, will the Q-Tec be any good? I mean, will it go all the way to 550w, or will it crap out at 150watts? Anyone got any views?
If anyone wants to make a humble suggestion, pick a different one and tell me...
My budget is £45 (Abs MAX! - Prefer cheaper...)
Currently, I'm running a T-Bird (old granddaddy) @1.3 (stock), but I know that it can do 1.45, but system was unstable due to power problems (I know it was power, since if I tried to use the CD drives, the computer would restart when it tried to spin them up)
Cheers for the help! (BTW - I live in the UK - so please don't point me in the direction of Newegg )
