A friend of mine is looking to build a file server using this case and PSU.

He wants to run a Duron 700, 512mb RAM, and between 4 and 8 200gb WD hard drives. My question is, is the PSU in that case powerful enough for all that?



Its supposedly a 500 watt unit, but the 3.3 rail looks pretty weak (my old 350watt had almost twice the amps on that rail). What say you?

Ohhhh yeah.

The drives only use the +5 and +12V rails so that'll work just fine. Personally, I think thats a bit on the overkill side, but it will definitely run it with no problems.
