For those of you seeking an excellent inexpensive PSU, please do yourselves a favor and think Sparkle or Fortron (both made by Fortron), I'm now sounding like Larva ;) . They really are excellent PSU's and for those of you with any doubt check this sreenie out. This is an MSI K7D Master L dual AMD board with 2 XP 1600's at 1800Mhz with 7 fans, HD, CD, Floppy. This shot of MBM is taken at load (All the machine does is FOLD and Photoshop). Also I tested the voltages at a molex and 5V reads 5.03 and 12V reads 12.15! And this is ONLY A 350W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's great news. I've been holding off on a dually because the PSU was going to set me back quite a bit. Looks like this will work fine though.
 
Heh, Fortron/Sparkle should always be considered, and not just when you are on a tight budget. The fact that they are inexpensive is icing on the cake. It just doesn't take any more money than a Fortron costs to make an excellent power supply, but others are certainly willing to charge you more. If a person needed to spend more I would be the first to insist on it, but in truth if you do you are just putting somebody else's kids through school :)
