Wrong PSU for the job? 
Hey guys, just built a system comprising of:
£2.99 x 1 - Akasa Rounded Ultra ATA133/100/66 IDE Cable (0.45m) - Black
£18.99 x 1 - Pioneer DVR-111DBK 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter - (Black) OEM
£34.99 x 1 - Akasa Ultra Quiet 400W Paxpower Active PFC ATX2.2 PSU - Black Nickel
£91.99 x 1 - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ 2.00GHz (Socket AM2) - Retail
£23.99 x 1 - Leadtek GeForce 6200 Turbo Cache 256MB DDR TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
£72.99 x 1 - Corsair 1GB DDR2 Value Select PC5300 Dual Channel Kit (2x512MB) (VS1GBKIT667D2) (
£43.99 x 1 - Asus M2V (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
And well, not having the most amazing luck yet
The PSU doesn't seem to have a 4 pin 12V connector on it, 1 x 6pin, and 2 x 4 pin clipped together (tried both to no avail) It booted without the 4pin cable in, well, i say booted the monitor is playing games right now so i can't see what its doing, but everything spun up and then the dvd drive seemed to seek over & over?
Not exactly sure whats going on yet, but what would i be best to do about the lack of 4 pin?
