0.

I had a 300w Antec SmartPower and a fairly loaded system w/3 HD's, 4
case fans, zip drive,,,, you get the picture. Everything worked fine.
Well, when I swapped out my Plextor 1210a burner for a DVD burner I
started having burning problems. Error messages, hanged burn
processes, etc. After some trouble shooting I replaced the 300w Antec
SmartPower for a 430w Antec TruPower. (it has isolated 3.3 & 5v rails)
No more problems!

Alienware sold Area-51s with a 340-watt (400-watt optional) with Radeon 9700
last September. I have been running mine since February without issue.

I'm doing SCSI raid, but on my Compaq P-75 server ;-) Really just a hobby
project. I did manage to install WIndows 2000, so if you want i can compare
some forms of RAID on my 2 GB drives ;-) I just remembered Sandra crashed
when doing HD tests :-(
Any other program?

On my normal machine, i try to do scsi the cheap way I think even just
the 'bare' benefits of SCSI over IDE are enough to choose for SCSI. The
price keeps me from being a real enthusiast ;-)
