Ouch, that is definitely too steep to be worthwhile. At least you are
using quality power supplies--AOpen has always just been a rebranded

PC Power Cooling, Inc
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE PSU: TURBO-COOLR 850 SSI
! 850W continuous and 950W peak
This will solve all your power issues - oh yeah - the price?
$469.00
Lol, that is insane!

Yeah, saw it...not only is the price outrageous, but the +12V is split into
4 separate rails. Bleh. No thanks.

I agree. Why not throw in a floppy. It's cheap, it's universal, and it
doesn't take up any space. Leaving it out is simply a megacorp way

The difference between an Antec True330 (which is the absolute bare

I can't see how you can defend that clunky old FDD based digital camera
in this day and age. They're slow, bulky low res if nothing else.
Argue BIOS updates, emergency boot floppy, or
Posting this original thread I didn't add the rest I wanted to because of
time.
In close to 20 years of computing I have had only 2 power supplies fail. One

I think a PS should be able to handle the components in the case, with
