No Chuck - been there - done that.
Running a P4 3.2 Ghz HT now (was an AMD 1700+) with all the trimmings on a
Gigabyte MOBO with dual
CPU 6 phase power. 1 x SATA 160Gb Hdd, 3 x 160 Gb PATA Hdd, 1 x 60Bg Hdd, 2 x
CD/DVD burners, 3.5
floppy, 4 case fans, multi-card reader, firewire and several USB ports and 1 x
Canon printer - the
other 3 are run from the server.
So the original (2nd actually) was not up to the job - actually the original
was 350W and the one
that fried was 400W this one runs almost ice cold.
