spazzkat's old junked PII/350 uses this kind of ps - only 230 watts, but it should do for now, this machine only has two HD in it and we don't use the CD-ROM or floppy for anything, and it's not close to topped out in RAM...
Mm, fan aye, lights aye, display aye, memory check aye, CPU aye, post aye, keyboard aye, drives aye, chkdsk... eventually... answering pings, and oh look, it's up. That wasn't so bad after all. Failure time sometime shortly after 3:20am 10 May 2006, from what syslog has to say:
