I notice you adjusted your signature after the comment I made about your PSU. Say what you like, but Coolmax PSUs in the past have been dreadful. The actual maximum DC output of the unit is relatively high compared to other cheap units (I should think so for the price), but the number of reported incidents of rail-shorting are too high for it to sit anywhere other than my 'cheap PSUs to avoid' list. The reason why it hasn't picked up as many faults as other cheap PSUs is probably because people are using so few watts compared to its actual output. Instead of spending $250 on that, you could have spent $100 less and had a far quieter, far more efficient Zalman ZM850-HP, which would power anything you are likely to throw at your system, and be far less likely to nuke your hard drives in 6 months.

I don't know how I could have saved $100 on my power supply when it costed me less than $100 including shipping.
