Title: Looking for Slim 400Watt ATX PSU
Post by: XDelusion on December 01, 2011, 07:09:58 PM
Any suggestions? All the slims I'm seeing are around 200 Watts which is not enough to keep my eMac powered up.

Do you get any computer fairs round where you live? the reason I ask is because I went to one not so long back and found a load of bargain PSU's for things like HTPC's and they are usually small PSU's. I grabbed one for a friend, 300 but I did see 400's, for next to nothing.

Animan99: That's the key word I was looking for, thankx!!!! :)


CritAnime: yes we do, but they usually happen around summer time.


EDIT: I ended up buying this one:

The price was right, and I figured I really don't need more than 1 Hard Drive and 1 DVD-ROM hooked up anyhow, though this may still have enough juice to accommodate more as I have been able to boot my machine with a mere 200 Watt PSU, though that was problematic at times which is why I'm currently using my old flaky and very large 350 Watt PSU.

So ya, I think this 300 Watt one will do nicely and it should prevent me from having to make the casing much larger than I had originally intended.
