buying a power source

[BriGy86]

my friends PSU just went out

i told him antec and enermax are good brands, but they seem a bit spendy for him

he has CD rom, CD burner, 2 HDD's, floppy drive, 4X80mm case fans with blue LED's on each

a cheap 40 dollar or so vid card, an AMD athlon 1.66GHz, and 256 RAM.

um you can get a quality antec for not very much dough. if you want to spent less, then get fortron or sparkle.

Antec, Vantec, Enermax, OCZ are all good options. There are others, but they are very pricey. Steer clear of generics.

I agree with Sentinel, you can go to this web site and add all the hardware he has to calculate how much wattage he needs. I think you may even get away with buying a quality 300w power supply.
