Will this power supply do the job?

[RedHouse18]

I've got a 300W psu from FSP Group Inc. Fortron/Source... I think it's manufactured by Zallman which is quality right?

Will it safely power an Athlon 64 3000
with two 120 gb ide hd
all-in-wonder pro 9000
and dvd burner?

Thanks

won't know until you try 😀
seems like it should be able to, using a pretty low power requirement vid card and only 1 optical drive.

You might be cutting it a bit close. Do you plan on doing any upgrading in the future? How much memory you running?

512 but will be a gig at some point

As fishmonger12 said you will not know until you try. It may run it fine, but you never know.

You're gonna need a bigger one. It might work for a while, but it won't last too long. Save yourself the headaches, and buy a good PSU now.

That's a pretty good 300watts unit. It will work and should not fail.

I have more that than on a Fortron 300watts for more than a year now. No problem.
