    Which PSU for AT server?

    The following hardware will be in there:

    2 x or 3x CD-ROM
    4 x HDD
    AT Mobo + Pentium 100 + HSF
    Floppy
    Vid Card
    Sound Card
    1 x or 2x NIC's
    2 x Case Fan
    1 x 11 1/2" Neon Light
    1 x Extra IDE Controller (PCI*)


    *It is a Socket 5 Gateway 2000 board is based on the Intel Triton chipset (430FX). Model MBDSAC018AAWW. Are the PCI slots 32bit still?

    -------

    What kind of wattage am I going to need for this hardware setup? Also, should I buy a generic PSU or a brand name PSU, if so which one?

    I would like to PSU to be under $50 US, but I'll stretch to under $70.

    Any recommendations of www.pricewatch.com?

    --------

    I have an exisiting 200watt AT PSU and if you guys/gals think it might be a good idea, I might get a cheap 300watt PSU and then use both for the system. What do you think of this.

    Any AT power supply of 200 watts or 250 watts should do just fine, having a more powerfull one won't hurt the system, enermax is about the best company there is for PSU's, but there are others, Enlight, Aopen etc....
