I started thinking about this because I downgraded from an enermax 650 to an antec 400. The 650 definitely can provide enough power. But I could tell it was causing some kinda of power problem since my computer wouldn't boot at the start up unless I unplugged the CDROMS. After I changed power supplies I haven't had any more problems. I tried a cheapo 300watt enlight and that didn't cut it either. I would have picked up a smaller enermax but the antec was on sale at CompUSA. Again I think part of the problem with power supplies is the demand people are placing on their old homes. I would like to hear from people living in new homes with wiring up to current code to see if they have problems with enermax or large watt power supplies. I'm guessing that they don't. Maybe I'm wrong but it's just a thought.
