kind of power suply i need for a 2.5 p4.

As big as you can afford.

and also how many fans do u guys have on your comps?

As many as we can attach to our cases.

What are the other components in your setup? If it has intergrated graphics and so on, the you'll only need 350 watts. (make sure it has a lot of ampage though)

Antec 380W ture power. (My buddy has a X850xtpe amd athlon 3200+ and 3hdds running off one rails are stable and hes had no issues)

the thing is that antec is pretty expensive i know they're worth it but im on a low budget. I was checking out this case " http://www.edazz.com/raho28gr0jas.html " and thinking of adding two more fans to it ....

would this 380w power suply do the job? even though its not really brand name?

I am going with what Trotter said, he speaks the truth.

And I could get more case fans in my comp (4 total) but they wouldn't serve a purpose as they have objects in front of them.

I get a headache seeing how many times people wanna use a PSU that comes with the case.

most PSU's that comes with cases are the shit.

and I mean that in a bad way.
