yea its a nice and cheap one, but i am gonna combine it with the one i currently have, i only have a few questions, first off will the cpu+motherboard+ram be compatiable with eachother, second will my graphic card be compatiable, and third how does SLI work, like maby in the near future can i buy another of the same graphic card and plug em in together?
also if 400W enough to keep everything running stable?

Ha ha ha, why not a 1000W PSU? R0x0r OMG!!! Or plug it directly to a power station!

I have an Athlon 64 3500+, a huge ass Golden Orb 2 CPU fan, 1 GB RAM, an AGP GeForce 6800 (128 MB VRAM), an ethernet card, two large 7200 RPM hard disks, a DVD burner, a DVD reader, a floppy disk, two 12 cm fans, and one 8 cm fan, all running smoothly with a 350W power supply.
