so now i'm running on a WAY overpriced antec 400w i got locally. i think i'm going to order either the same one i've got now, or a 350w enermax from newegg, and send this one back tho (paid almost twice as much locally...). i need to order a new chipset hsf anyways, the fan on mine locked up a while back (the 120mm fan i was experimenting to cool my machine i believe roasted it ).

so anways. yeah, laugh it up, but that thing did last a couple years, so i got my money's worth . the new one's got 2 fans tho, and the cpu runs a couple deg's cooler
When crappy power supplies exact revenge...

I had a crappy 420w that came with my chieftec take out my old a7n8x. It just surged or something and burned it up (the ATX connector on the board was browned from the incident, im surprised it didnt leave any marks on the rest of the board). The antec is a good idea. Crappy power supplies are not.

Oh yeah.... KEKEKEKE!
