im slowly in the middle of building a server, mostly from leftover bits of my current pc that i have due to constantly upgrading over the years
server spec will be
e4400 (if i get it from MM) celeron 120 if i dont get the e4400
8800GT 256MB
abit AW9D-MAX
up to 4GB of OCZ PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2*
up to 7 HDDs 1TB storage min each
case is a Lian Li v2110
cooler will be a tuniq tower**
* the RAM is from my main PC, i have already replaced it with this stuff Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX (2x2GB)
** main PC will be WC'ed once im bothered to set it up
the server will serve 3 functions
folding, file server and occationally used as a normal PC if i have guests round hence the c2d and 8800
main PC is
q6600 @ 3.18 GHz (B3)
abit IP35-Pro (bolt modded)
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2 Dominator PC2-8500C5 TwinX (2x2GB)
3x seagate barracuda 7200.10 HDDs
2x DVD-RW
4870 512MB
3450
tuniq tower cpu cooler, will be WC'ed when i set it up
case lian li v2000b
PSU is a FSP epsilon 700W and is about 4 years old
my dilemma is do i buy a new PSU for my main PC or for my server?
modular or not, i dont really care, any suggestions will be nice and please state for main PC or server
i have no plans for CF or SLi but will like to be able to upgrade without worrying about the PSU, hence the reason i brought a 700W all those years ago^
^ i actually thought higher wattage meant better PSU back then
