More Power

[Kinshou Ookawa]

i've had a re-think, and decided to drop the other hdd's (and get them later) and go for the ZALMAN TNN-500AF, but power may still be a factor, here are the components after a few other changes:

LG GSA4160 DL 16x DVD R/RW/RAM IDE Burner - OEM Beige
Kingston HyperX 1GB 400MHz DDR Non-ECC CL2 (2-3-2-6-1) DIMM
Kingston HyperX 1GB 400MHz DDR Non-ECC CL2 (2-3-2-6-1) DIMM
Maxtor 7Y250M0 250GB Serial ATA 7200RPM 8MB
Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 nForce4 Skt 939, FSB1800, PCI-E, DDR400, SATA, GB LAN, 8ch Audio, USB2, Firewire, ATX
AMD Athlon 64 FX-55 / 1MB / 2600Mhz / Socket 939 / Processor
MSI RX850 XT Platinum ATi Radeon X850XT PE 256MB DDR3 PCI-Express

costing £2430.32
or in USD $4,563.31

if anyone has a link to a page with a load of component power usages on it could they please post that, thanks in advance.

well, back to the original question. If you are serious about stability and really running a nice box I would go with PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 510 Deluxe. Or if you really need a crap load of power the ZIPPY/EMACS 700W PSL-6701P-SATA. (that beast pushes 45A on the 12v rail )

I've been considering putting together a small LAN server machine from older parts once I've built my new system and storing a large majority of my files that all my computers need access to on it and just keeping in running non stop, possibly even setting up a small Natural Selection or Counterstrike Server on it, but I don't know how well it would do on 54mbs wireless transfer rates.

Oh yeah, just for clarification so that people don't get the wrong idea, I may have mentioned terabytes in this thread, but 1000GB is not one terabyte, one terabyte is equal to 1024GB.

and if you want to get REALLY accurate than you could quote a terrabyte in bytes,giving you: 1099511627776 bytes in a terabyte :nerd:

you'd need like 4*250GB drives, and another 20GB to get an actual 1024GB i think. cuz when you format and install OS and pagefile and what not...you lose like 5-6GB on each drive.

 

[Kinshou Ookawa]

and dont forget that when a hdd is said to be 250GB that is its unformatted capacity, so just in formatting the drive you loose some space (around 4 gig lost on a 60gig hdd)

anyway, back to the point of this thread.

can anyone supply links to sites that supply secondsry psu's (like ones for peltier modules, but that can have normal type power plugs attached)
