I am wondering if I may tap into the experience and knowledge of the techy experts for a bit of advice on the subject of a replacement psu.
Over the last few months various important components have failed and been replaced and what passes for the TD mind has been whirling around with the thought that his psu may well benefit from a wee bit looking at. It is functioning without problem at the moment but it has been pumping power into the pc for about twelve hours a day for about six years now, and, aware of the horror stories about what can occur if it were to fail in mid flight, I thought about replacing it............just in case.
The question is which new one to get, or at least what sort of power I would need.
I have an Asrock AliveNF6G-VSTA mobo with onboard graphics, have two seagate internal Hdds, one at 80Gbs about a year old as master and a 160Gbs about 6 months old as slave. The psu also powers a cd writer and a dvd reader, oh and a wee floppy drive.
My printers, scanner, monitor and external HDD have their own power sources from the mains, the only usb devices taking power from the pc are the sppedtouch 330 modem and the multi-card reader.
I would imagine that a fairly bog-standard job would do ( given the correct dimensions to fit in the case.............don't know what these dimensions are off the top of my head and without digging into the tower, but I imagine that they are all much of a muchness.)
Would appreciate any guidance and advice. Thank you.
