um it has 30 amps for vid.and 26 for rest.
but bay 20 get 20 dollars worth if ya get what i mean. it all depends on what you plan on powering and how much use will the computer be getting,many hours of gaming,or a few minutes checking e-mail?
im lookin into the whole bit bout playin reg pc games n such. i will most likely not install a sound card, just let em use reg onboard sound. when it comes to the cpu, im gonna put in my old p4 3.2 ghz (775 socket), so there will be limitations when it comes to playin video games. ill try 2 get 2x1gb stix of ddr2 800 memory. any suggestions on motherboard that will work on my p4? also the cheapest decent hard drive seems 2 be a 250gb for ~$50, so i think ill go w/ that.
