Hello!
New member; computer geek for years.
I'm posting because I have found this old thread:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/277479-28-upgrade
Very helpful, except all the upgrade power supplies suggested by Saint19 seem to have been superseded by newer models.
Now I'm wondering how to find a PS with the "extra" 6 pin power connector and (per my measurements) a much larger size.
Does this one seem like it would be best or can I go with a cheaper standard consumer PS?
I need the boost as I currently have 4 WD RE3 drives connected to an Adaptec 2820 Raid card and am getting errors starting up. Currently a drive is powered externally to boot the machine. I will soon replace the system fan and the 10 yr old IDE drive (!), which may fix the booting issue, but I also want to add another RAID drive for a hot spare or RAID 6 so the extra power would be nice.
Thanks all, any help is much appreciated.
