    power supply advice

    I searched on the forum and wanted to know which would be a better buy...The Opus 150 or the M2-ATX? I have had experience with the M1-ATX and thought it was pretty good but now I have a P4 2.4 so I need expert advice...What I really wanted to know is whether there is any major difference...All Im running is the motherboard, harddrive, and usb components...


    thanks

    People seem pretty satisfied with both. The Opus 150 has been out longer than the M2-ATX if that's worth anything. I think you'll be fine with either one. It may come down to price, or if you've been satisfied with the M1-ATX, why not try the M2?

    Read this: FAQ: Will <insert PSU model> Power Supply work with my system?
    The Opus 150w probably won't work with the CPU you want to use.
    Have you looked in the FAQ yet?
    How about the Wiki?

    Good catch. The 2.4 needs some juice.

    Also note that the M2-ATX does not ship with the P4 power cable (just your usual ATX power cables).

    If you need even more juice than that, there is always the DS-ATX.
