I just scraped together some old parts that I'm going to use as a server.
I need to purchase an inexpensive power supply to along with it, and I notice that the CX400W is quite popular these days.
However, the CX400W delivers most of it's power on it's single 12V rail. I know that ATX 1.X PCs prefer most of the power on the 5V and 3.3V rail.
Will 130W max on the 5V and 3.3V be enough for these components? :
Athlon Socket A 950
2x 256MB DDR 2700
nVidia TNT2 32MB
PCI 2 Port SATA Controller (Silicon Image generic, purchased for this)
52X IDE CDROM drive
320GB Western Digial SATA HD
ECS K7S5A
80mm Fan
Some of the G-LUXON caps are already bulging on this board. What can a board death by bad caps take with it? I'd prefer some true stories here as I have a feeling the board is going to die, but I'd rather let it die and replace it than recap.
