You don't mention the power supply. With ASUS's online power supply calc http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.aspx?SLanguage=en-us (I guessed some of your parameters)you need a _minimum_ of 600W. I would add 25% to make sure. On top of that, many PSU suppliers are economical with the actualite so you may need to go even higher. As I've just started creating the same base spec machine, I hope you are successful in sorting this..... ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
