Hello :-) The power supply on my desktop machine seems to have stopped functioning as normal. It still works, but when I shut my machine down it no longer stops. The power supply is either on or off. Even after switching it off at the wall, when I turn the wall power on again, all the fans start spinning!
Anyway, I think it may be time for a new PSU and am a little uncertain as to the power requirements. It's an older desktop, but for my current usage, and only Ubuntu, resources are not a serious issue so don't want to spend too much money, but might as well go for something a little silent. Here are the specs: AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 1.5GB RAM 3 small case fans (will probably reduce this to one) Nvidia GeForce 6800 GS (requires one power plug) DVD Writer 2x IDE drives I'm swinging towards an Xilence 480W PSU [1] from aria for £26, but not sure if it's (a) worth the extra money for a quieter PSU, and (b) if 480W will be sufficient for stability? Any ideas or suggestions?
