Is it true that you need a power supply with at least 24amps on the 12v rail?
I just bought a new case with power supply, it had only 20amps on the 12v rail (450w) and it would not power up my system. My older power supply which came with my case for 30 bucks 3 years ago is a 400w power supply with 25amps on the 12v rail, which it powers up my system fine. So I switched the old power supply to my new case and it's fine, but I'm also wondering, since that power supply is so friggen old, if I should get a new one or not, and a suggestion of one would be helpful too, since I don't know a whole lot about power supplies.
