Question with Power supply coming with Case

imasoldier · 08-04-05, 12:28 PM

Well I was looking at this case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811105147

I don't see how many pins the powersupply has does this mean there isn't any? If not what type of MotherBoards are compatible with it also any other thing that has to be compatible with it please tell me.

The PSU is cheap anyway. Buy a new PSU with the case, and toss the PSU that comes with it.

BTW, i'm almost positive its a 20-pin.

How would you know it's a 20 pin is there a way to figure it out? Also with a budget I can 't spend anymore money so I will have to stay with the PSU that comes with the case I just need to know what things to look for that is compatible with the PSU

Power supplies are like those pinch hitters on baseball teams. When they do something right or are doing their job well no one says anything cause that's what they're supposed to do. It's only when they **** up that people notice them. There's no point in buying anything else if you are gonna stick with a cheap power supply. All that money you pump into mobos, video cards, sound cards, and everything else could go down the tube in an instant. Spend the extra money and buy a good power supply. If that means you have to wait an extra week or two to get the extra money, don't worry. You obviously have a computer now (since you are posting on this message board), so what is another week or two gonna really hurt.

P.S. I got a generic PS with a case and ti was a 20 pin, so I would say it is probably a 20 pin.
