Back in the good ol' days on the Illiac things were easy compared to
today. I figured that some things on my new system were trivial --
certainly the choice of a PSU should be a snap. The overall design
criteria is that of versatility -- I don't want to be stuck in the future
with an avoidable deficiency now.
So the Antec Neo Power 480 watt PSU ought to be
perfect. No? Inconceivable that I should need more than that power or
facility in the foreseeable future. Isn't it?
So here is this article in Extreme Tech -- 18 Jul 2005
http://www.extremetech.com/print_article2/0,1217,a=156218,00.asp
where the builder uses an 850 watt PSU "just in case"!!! At a cost of $470!!!
Good grief , Folks, would I ever need 850 watts "just in case" in my new
system???
If you look at the article, maybe you could comment on the other parts
used. It looks as if he has chosen the most expensive stuff he could find
-- along with a flashing billboard on his RAM sticks.
