[H] 750 watt power supply

Need to get a new power supply for my PC. My old PC Power and Cooling finally gave up the ghost after 7 years of service. Currently I am using a replacement Power Supply (does not work as nice as the one I had). I am looking at the PC Power and Cooling Silencer MKIII series 750 watt power supply:

Corsair or sea sonic. Both make amazing power supplies. On Aug 9, 2013 6:47 PM, Tim Lider timli...@adv-data.com wrote: Need to get a new power supply for my PC. My old PC Power and Cooling finally gave up the ghost after 7 years of service. Currently I am using a replacement Power Supply

Tim, Seasonic... :) I did not even look at your link, sorry. I would suggest Seasonicinstead. IIRC Greg broached Seasonic many moons ago. I now have 2 machines using Seasonic replacements of older PCPC psus,I have a Seasonic in spares just in case. Sorry, I fell off of the PCPC wagon 2

Duncan, I have installed 2 Season power supplies at work. One of them not working correctly on boot sometimes. The 5 volt line drops on power up and gives a beep error for the video card. The video card was replaced and it is still beeping every so often. The power supply has been installed in

Tim, I accept your visuals, and, of course, YMMV. Stuff still does happen! Please understand that Seasonic psus come in Bronze, Silver, Gold/Platinum specs. I only buy the top models anyway. I am not a price shopper. Duncan On 08/09/2013 14:03, Tim Lider wrote: Duncan, I have installed 2

I am looking at the PC Power and Cooling Silencer MKIII series 750 watt power supply: I have one of these that I bought back in 2008 before OCZ purchased PCPC. I also have a Seasonic Silver 850 watt purchased around 2011. They look to me like they were actually made by the same company.

Hence 2x 500GB @ $300 makes more sense than 1x 750GB @ $250. Even better when the $125-$130 deals happen on 500GB 7200.10's. Greg Sevart wrote: Surprised you're going the 750 route given the cost per GB is higher than the 500 400's. Higher? 500/150 =3.33 and 750/250=3 You're

IMO $.25/GB is the sweet spot which the 400GB tends to hit with frequent sales @ $100. So 1TB @ $250-300 would fit that bill, likely within 6 months I think. Of course when you consider 80GB @ $80-100 we've come a long way in 2 years but that's just the nature of the beast. I won't touch

I'd assume not in this day age. Surprised you're going the 750 route given the cost per GB is higher than the 500 400's. Last I checked a few days ago 500 is $149, 750 is $250+. Keeping my eye out for sales on the 500 @ $125ish or 750 @ $200. Hopefully the eventual release the 1TB will

I am thinking about buying one of these Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular recording) ST3750640AS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s I will just use this as a stand alone SATA drive, and will be putting it on a Intel 865PERL motherboard's onboard SATA controller. The board is
