Computer case power supplies are the most expensive component.Computer cases usually include power supplies. But, since they are the most expensive component of the computer case, this is where manufacturers cut corners. They vary in rating and quality. Most
computer systems will do with a 220 to 240 watt supply, but many
AMD brand processors, high performance 3D video cards, high speed
hard drives, or installing too many drives can overload your power
supply if it's not rated high enough. The problem may show up as
random errors, rather than outright failure, so check the specs
to make sure you have enough wattage to handle the load. If you plan to use an Athlon processor, especially with a video card using NVidia graphics, then your computer case should have a 300+ watt supply. AMD has
a list of approved power
supplies for use with Athlon processors so check with the case
manufacturer if you plan to use one. The ATX has a small cable that runs to the motherboard to turn the power on and off. ATX cases have the soft-start feature that allows the system to turn itself off. AT cases
have 110v switches on the front of the case, and must be switched
off manually. At
or ATX computer case... which one do you need?
