Corsair 620HX vs 750TX

I just thought of a question maybe someone here can answer.. Whats so good about a modular power supply? In working with video games and pinballs, one of the 1st things to fail is the connector(heat). So is there a reason why they went to modular and added a connector(other than looks)?

pS for evga 260sc and ps for 8800gtsoc

thanks for the advice. I was thinking 500w was a bit weak. I will pick up a larger one and use the 500 on the lesser system. So something around 800w is what I would need for SLI. I need a decent power supply to fix a 5v problem in one of my pinballs, the old one will go to good use...

Consolidated Antec deal thread

I had a sonata 3 case thats its antec 500 earth watts failed after being on for about 2 min. I got a replacement case and the power supply was fine. What was interesting, is the PS that failed supposedly had 2 12v 17a rails. But the 2nd case says it has 2 12v 21a rails.

ASUS P5N-D Motherboard

I am going to run 1 8800gts for now. Then I will wait to see what a 2nd card will add. I am not a big believer in sli, so I probably won't keep a 2nd card( I think the best answer is always use the next gen video card). I went with this board to keep the sli option open. I really can't be...

My friend just fisnished putting this together for me. Everything would have have been extremely easy if it had not been for the antec 500w power supply failing about about 20 seconds. He pulled the MB to test it and then had to put it all back together. The asus p5n-d had no problem with...

ASUS P5N-D Motherboard

I doubt I will be of much help to others. My friend will help me put it together and I don't think I will be doing any overclocking(don't know how). I already have the e8400, ocz sli ram, and 8800gt. Hopefully we will be able to set it to do dual boot off seperate HDD. The only thing I wish...
