I have like 10 fans in my case, 2 hds. IS the 300 watt good enough to run this system with maximum stabliity, or should i upgrade to a name brand power supply or get a 400+ watt?

Not if it does its job........If it runs everything in your system then I would use it if I were you. So give it a try it might be fine.

I got a no name 230 on my good system... I need to upgrade, the voltages are going screwy and making my monitoring program flash "OUT OF THRESH HOLD" In big ugly letters. Now i'm on a p200 until i get a new supply...

Depends on how much money you have. If you can throw dollars at it, upgrade the ps, never know how much problem unstable power will based on the fans. It may not be a factor, so if you don't want to burn the bucks see if you have stability problems and try a ps swap later if it seems necessary.

i just ordered that enermax 330 watt, i hope it comes soon, i've spent my free time salvaging the fan and rocker from my old power supply. I'm going to use that fried supply for what's it's worth, lol.
