I have an austin 450 watt power supply that's flaking out on me lately.. System seems unstable and I'm almost positive it's power related.. I just added yet another optical drive to my system and now the drives sometimes don't even get recognized (again, the drives work perfectly in other systems - i really think it's the PSU).. So I need to change my PSU.. My budget is $50 for a PSU or $80 for a case with PSU.. Any suggestions? Here are my specs because I have an unusual amount of drives (using a RAID controller):
Pentium 4-2.4b on a abit bh7 board
Pioneer A04 dvd-rw
Artec 16X dvd rom drive
Seagate 80 gig, 7200 rpm drive
Samsung 80 gig, 7200 rpm drive
WD 40 gig, 7200 rpm drive
1 cpu fan, 1 system fan (system and cpu temps are always normal - I don't over clock)
I don't need anything fancy at all - just something that delivers clean, steady power without sounding too much like a lawn mower. (though i'm not a silent pc zealot)
Thanks for any help guys!
