PSU Help Please

$Reloaded$ · 25-April-05, 01:58 PM

I have tryed and tryed to get Gateway to give me the specs that I need to meet to buy a new PSU that is compatible with my system.... but basicaly they are not techs just some guy with the internet...
Right now Im running a 250w PSU (FSP GROUP INC). The Specs and dimensions are on this site: http://www.linkingpc.com/id169.htm (model No : FSP250-60ATV)

I would like to have a 500-600w power supply that looks custom. (preferebly blue lights) if possible but I dont have much knowledge of DC voltages. Could someone please help me find A compatible PSU that meets my existing PSU's specs. Something around $100 would be great!

Gateway 510XL
Pentium 4 HT 3.0 GHz
Corsair 2 GB PC3200 DDR400 RAM (4 x 512mb)
BFG NVIDIA Geforce 6800 GT AGP8x 256MB (300w min. PSU Required)
140 GB HD
DVD-R/DVD-RW/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD ROM
LED Case Fan...etc (More coming Soon)

Buying a good PSU now will save you in the long run, so I'd suggest swinging the extra $25 to buy that. Made by Enermax, dual 12V rails, and Active PFC(which makes the PSU more efficient, saving you on electricity). Xconnect PSU's may also appeal to you, so check those out if you want some more bling than a standard PSU can provide(without sleeving of course).

ATX PSU's should fit that Gateway, minor modifications may be in order though...should only take a metal snippers and 5 minutes if it doesn't line up right away.
