in Building a comp Post #119048

PSU wattage isn't everything. You could have a PSU with 100000 amps on the 5v rail, but 1 amp on the 12v rail. I know, that just wouldn't work at all since the motherboard will draw over 1 amp on the 12v rail but it's an example. It also needs to be high quality too. I've owned some pretty cheap power supplies in my time, mostly bad, a couple of them are good mind you (only Fortron PSU's though). My list of decent PSU manafacturers:

Zippy/Emacs (They used to make PSU's for PC Power & Cooling until PCP&C could afford to build their own. Very very very good, but noisy.)
PC Power & Cooling (Mixed opinions on this one, some people say they are shit, but I've been using them for years with no problems. They can handle my insane overclocking very well. They make a PSU which peaks at 1kw

Nuff said. Incredibly noisy though!)
OCZ (They don't make their own PSU's, but they get them made up for them. Good stuff though.)
Antec (Ok, they outsource their PSU's too, but I've used them and have no complaints.)
Fortron Source Project (aka FSP Group. Very cheap, yet very very good. I have tons of these lying around.)

If you want more advice, I would hover over to XtremeSystems and make a thread in the general hardware section, rather than posting here. Many of the people there have been building systems for years. I am there too, so there will be at least one familiar face there to help. [/pimp]

Neo, if you can't take useful advice from people, then don't ask for it. Don't go playing around with MySQL if you can't even use HTML. Your site IS simple HTML, it is mostly HTML tables (ewwww) and image mapping (ewwwwwww, again). Seriously, goto w3schools and learn HTML/CSS. You will not regret it (unless you are an idiot who doesn't have the patience to learn). Oh, and if you do have the intelligence to learn this stuff, please for the love of god, DO NOT use tables for layout, it is so unprofessional. Use CSS instead.

OGG Vorbis at a lowly 128kb/sec sounds better than a 320kb/sec MP3 by far. I myself rip at 256kb/sec, I used to use 320kb/sec but it wasted loads of space so I downsized some stuff to 256.

Yeah I have, a few months ago. It's very bloated. You have to specify a reason to shutdown, how time wasting is that!??!!? Almost all Unix compatible systems have a shutdown command. Go up to any Unix compatible system (including Mac OS X) and type "shutdown -H now". It's pretty much instant.
