I'm having a lot of problems getting my computer to start and I think it's in the psu and I was wondering if this is a good one http://www.enpc.com/cgi-bin/enpc/PS-LP6100E.html
I need a really powerfull one but I don't have to much money to spend right now and one of the reasons that my last one wouldn't work may have been because it didn't have enough power. Should it be able to run my specs, athlon xp 1900+, ecs ks75a, 2 80's and a 60 gig hdd, cd burner, geforce 3, 512 ram, and a dvd-r burner?

The truth is I don't know if it is good or not but $50 for a 500watt power supply it makes me suspicious. I use antec I got it from http://newegg.com/
they have good prices I think. But this is all just my opinion.

Thanks for responding, I also decided that I'm going for a new mobo because I've had too much trouble with the one I have. Right now I'm looking at trading in my board for a SOLTEK SL-75DRV4 http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?description=13-180-004
Would this work with everything that I have?
Thanx

goober2003,
The PowMax 500W by Leadman comes highly recommended (http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5431&highlight=Leadman) by ranchdog one of the Forum regulars.

I use this PSU, although purchased from a different online
source. Indeed it gets the job done very well. The thing I
noticed early on was that the +5v leg doesn't get weak. A strong
+5v is needed for the CPU's we are running nowdays.
Soltek makes a good Mboard.
As for the DRV4 you will find it fast and stable. I am
using the DRV2 in one of my boxes and they are basically the
same board. Just take your time setting it up and don't
forget using the manual that comes with it. There are a few
jumpers that will need setting.
If you need some help get back with us.
RD.

I'm no longer suspicious with the PowMax 500W.
