Power supplies...

[dcdomain]

My friend's current PSU doesn't have enough cables to support: 3 hd's, 1 dvd and 1 cd-burner. He wants to get a new PSU. Which would you guys recommend? The Sparkle here: (probably 350 watt, AMD approved) http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=58&manufactory=1389
or the Enermax's here:

Where does it say in the descriptions how many devices they can support (as in the number of power cables running out)?

I have the sparkle 350 and it has 6 connectors for ide powered devies (hdd's and rom's) and 2 for floppies...most fans have pass thoughs so they don't need a dedicated one...6 devices is usually enough in pc cases with limited bays and racks for harddrives and cd-roms...

Beware, if your friend has a small case. The enermax comes with a lot of connectors and they are long too..They will fill up the case if it is small. ( I think it is overcrowded when I put it in Enlight 7237 case)

cant u buy power splitters?

i think that would be cheaper than buying a new PSU.

Enermax's are nicer to look at, but Sparkle's voltage regulation is more spot on.
