my friend needs a new power supply and he doesnt wanna spend more than $25, $30 max with shipping included. i figured a 550w generic psu should be around the equivalent of a name brand 300w or 330w psu and his rig goes around 40 degrees (i think) so i think the 550w generics should keep up with the name brand 300-330w ones.
anyway, he needs to power the following:
s754 3200+
1 hdd (ide)
1 512mb ddr stick
1 cd drive
128mb nvidia graphics card (he doesn't know what it is....he doesn't game i guess)
i was thinking one of the following might be fine for him. remember, he's under a TIGHT budget.
LOGISYS 550w PSU - $20
ATADC 550w PSU - $24
FSP (Fortron) 300w PSU - $20
all have $7 shipping. do you think any of these will run his rig fine? do you have any better suggestions? i have read the psu thread before but i think that's more geared toward video card users...i don't think his draws too much.
any help is greatly appreciated. his hard drive just died, i don't want a 2nd psu to die too.
