Hi,
I'm making a simple nas system with 2 hard drives, a disk, wireless N card and an amd sempron cpu. Will the PSU in this case do the purpose I want it to? http://www.frys.com/product/6535653?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN...

I just don't want any explosions or fires or....... Yeah.......

Thanks for the help.

So my answer is no.

Hmm, recently I removed a 300 watt psu from my dell inspiron 3847 so I could install a graphics card. I have no clue what it is. But since it's from a trusted brand will that cut it? Or should I really save a few more of my allowances for a better one?

Most Dell OEM power supplies are decent.

Well as long as it can get the job done, i'm fine. Although if this is a real issue then i'll probably go back with corsair or somthing at a tier3+

Is there anything at a smaller wattage? Trying to not raise my electric bill too much because my parents make me pay for my power T.T

It won't raise your electric bill , your Nas will only draw the power it needs.

thanks, I will buy the case, remove the power supply and smash it for youtube and post the video on these forums or sell it to some unlucky person on ebay. :D

Raidmax supplies also make good paperweights.
