Will a 250W power supply work with Pentium 4 system

[subxeon]

I have this case: here
and i am wondering if it will work with a pentium 1.7 ghz or a 1.8 ghz

is it enuff wattage ? 250w.....

hey also is that case compatible with pentium 4's, i see some places advertize that their "case " is "pentium 4 compatable"

if not, can somebody suggest a good powersupply to buy, ignoring price.

I can't suggest a good power supply, but you should avoid ones with too little power and they should have a special 2X2 connector to go on the Pentium 4 motherboards. As far as case compatibility, that really has more to do with the first generation of P4 mobos because they needed to be able to attach the HSF directly to the case, but the newer P4 mobos have a special retaining device so that is no longer necessary. You should still have a P4 approved power supply.

i don't think so. the psu should say something about "intel" or "p4" approved or something of the like. check the spec for your mb, it should give you the power requirments. hope this helps.

uh... no. P4 power supply has an extra power connector for your mobo.

Whitedog's correct. A P4-approved PS must say "P4 compliant" Also, all P4-approved power supplies have two extra connectors; a square, 4-pin and a straight 6-pin. These PS's are ATX compatible as well. I use one in my TBird rig. I just ziptie the extra two connectors together and up and out of the way.
