Hmmm...I wonder how these will hold up on an Athlon 64 system with 2 opticals, 2 HD's, and a 6800?

I was thinking of a future build I'm doing for someone else. (I've got a Thermaltake 480w in my own machine. :D ) But, I'll bet if I cut it down to a single DVD-RW, 1 BIG HD and no floppy...this would be just fine.



Oh, well no offense but this 300 watter would probably kick your Thermaltake's ass on several fronts. :) Snap one up!

We use some old Sparkle 300w PSUs at work to power our rigs.

All have A7N8X-E Dlx, XP 2400+ (oced to atleast 2ghz for everyone), atleast 1x floppy/cdrom/HD. Three out of four of us run our rigs 24/7 since summer and we haven't ran into a single problem yet with our Sparkles.

I guess everyone is getting 2 , lol.

I got 2 ....I have a local PC store selling them for $40+tx and thats the clearance price. :) ha ha!

Stock must be near depletion by now .. I think there were around 20 units available to begin with.

BTW these might have adjustable pots inside of them too...I think I bought one of these several years ago. I may be wrong though.

I seem to have bought the last one. After placing the order decided to get another one, says "not in stock"
