Good advice, IMO I have always overpowered the units I build. Theaoy being that the greater capacity used a much less than rating will run cooler (assuming the PS had at least cooling design adequate to the rating). Cooler = longer lived, generally. I'm still running a 1989 tower chassis (another of my preferences) with an AMD 100MHz, 36MB ram, couple slow Champ HDs as one of my IPCop stations. That unit still has original PS or only replacement, not sure anymore. I'm sure that rack-mounts powering multiple blades may also benefit from a little oversizing, although maybe not as much benefit, figuring they should be more robust at the start. > <snip> > danno > <snip sig stuff> -- Bill
