Power supply considerations

Oct 22, 2004 2:35AM PDT

Consider the larger power supply but look for one with a variable, temperature controlled fan. It will handle reasonable future growth and be quieter. Also consider a case with a separate, temperature controlled fan. Box will run cooler, quieter and components will likely live longer.
