So yesterday Ed's new graphics card (Radeon 9800 Pro) arrived. So I whipped out the NVidia 5400FX and plugged in the replacement (first graphics card I've seen that's had a separate power connection). Fired up GTA3 and went 'ooooh' at the smoothness and high resolution.
We wandered next door for two minutes, came back and found a dead box. Completely and utterly off, with no hope of on-ness.
So this evening I whipped the power supply out of my old PC (soon to be reborn as a server for sharing files between the two of us) and stuck it in Ed's machine. Ta-da! One working box - albeit with a pretty noisy fan.
So I now need a new power supply for my box, and probably a new one for Ed too, as the noise will no doubt drive him mad.
Anyone recommend a silent power supply to me?
