Power Supplies...

WebMasta33 · 05-02-2002, 09:11 PM

This really doesn't fit in any other catigory, so I threw it here, move if you wish..

First off, I have an enermax (sad... I know) 365watt ps. Well, when I hook it up to 2 HDs, and 2 CD roms, it's fine, I add another HD, it won't post (I have two more to add)... I know it's a power problem...

Well, when I get my new case, it has room for two power supplies, so I'll be using my enermax for fans, and my other power supply for all my hardware.

My queston comes to this. What power supply company would you reccomend, or specific models if you're bored.

Also, I know you can jump a power supply, to make it work via a wire in the connector, and obviously the next step is a switch, which is what I wanna do. Any articles on this, or picture of what pins on the plug I need to connect to power on?

EDIT: Guess I could read the site articles huh? :P http://www.procooling.com/articles/h..._as_one_.shtml

EDIT 2: Ehh, that's for AT's and linkin them up.... not applicable to me.

Volts are fine... I just don't have enough juice.

Thanks brad, I'll probably get an antec.
