Do you know where they are located? 400W is not enough but will ask them whether they have anything more powerful. I hope its not too expensive. Amazon has good ones under $100 but the problem is that they don't ship to Africa... :( On Mon, Jul 23, 2012 at 10:10 AM, Simon Vass <sv...@etech.ug> wrote: Try Computer Facilities, they usually have 400W PSU's but be prepared to pay.

Unfortunately, my Dell Optiplex 790 doesn't have the requisite power supply unit (PSU) to manage the demands for the card. The current one works at ~300W whilst the card requires a dedicated 400W supply. So I need a PSU that can push out at least 650W and have two 6-pin connectors that will connect to the card (in addition to the other power cables that plug to the motherboard and other devices). I have been unable to locate a place in Kampala where I can purchase this PSU. Most stores sell complete desktop units and not parts, and the ones I have managed to find are selling questionable "Made in China" units (which anyway don't meet the requirement). I was hoping that someone would have an idea where I could procure one, particularly one with a good brand (either Dell approved, or good brands like OCZ and Corsair). I know that its a bit off-topic from our usual discussions but throwing in a hardware discussion once in a while is a good diversion from the usual. :) _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: LUG@linux.or.ug Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/lug@linux.or.ug/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
