[CGUYS] Power Supply.. weight=robust?

2008-10-30 Thread Brian Jones
I have been purchasing replacement aftermarket power supplies and noticed that the new one (450w) is about half the weight of the one being replaced (150-200W). I am worried that the new power supply does not offer as much protection for the motherboard and components... should I worry? -

my old 286 or 8088 or something weighed about 40 lbs. wife's first computors weighed over 100, and came in pieces. the hard drive weighed a hundred. was about 1.5' in diameter. my new quad pole, double wizzie, ka-zing, bang bang hardly weighs 10 lbs. jer At 04:10 PM 10/30/2008, you wrote:
