firstly, would it be safe to run a 350W psu with all this lot connected...

16/40 dvd drive
52/24/52 cdrw drive
floppy
7200rpm maxtor hard drive

4 80mm fans (two at max .23A, other two around .15A)
1 120mm fan (max .20A)
thermaltake volcano 7+

1 stick of 512mb ram
2500+
ATI 9600 Pro

a smallish neon light

it's already running everything other than 1 80mm, the 120mm and the cdrw.


and secondly, there's only a couple of main 4 pin (5v?) connections coming out my psu, dunno if that's normal or not but it looks a bit dodgy with everything else running off of them with through conectors and splitters.
is it ok to just add as many splitters as i need, if i stick a bit more in one of them's gonna be running the hsf, hard drive, floppy drive (i think the 3 pin's connected to one of the 4 pins), a 120mm fan and an 80mm fan.

max amps are...

Output

+3.3V = 28A
+5V = 35A
+12V = 16A
+5VSB = 2A
-5V = 0.3A
-12V = 0.8A

MAX 200W for +3.3 and +5 Vdc output combination.
MAX 330W for +3.3, +5 and +12 Vdc output combination.

What brand is it? brand makes up for low wattage. Either way that should run it easily.

couldn't see a brand name on it but it says the model is LC-B350ATX.
had a search on the net and most places mention a company called L&C.


"Either way that should run it easily."

you know that's the exact opposite of everyone else i've asked has said.
i like you.

still, just saw a post with a guy trying to run 3200+, 9800XT, 1 gig ram etc off a 200W. if that works then mine should power half the uni's computers. yay.

If it's a good quality PS it's fine, if it's a cheap one, maybe so maybe not.
