I now have a total of 4 case fans, a cyclone, a Volcano 6cu+, and two black lights. How do I tell how my Power supply is making out? Soon as a get a hole saw I am putting in a 120mm fan as well. Maybe a few more too. I'll call it "The Tornado" I am using the stock 300W supply that came with the Antec 1030B case.

if you experience instability without possible hardware reason ya powersupply is too weak. if you overclock you´ll need more juice too. i´d go for a leadman or enermax 431 watts supply. this baby´s goin to be the psu of my next rig (coming ´bout march 2002) 8)
