    I run an Antec 500W on my desktop(sig) and it has three fans and I have no problems.

    I'm no expert so I can't say for sure, but it looks fine.

    This might help.

    Remember not to skimp on quality as far as PSUs go. It's a very important component.


    Otherwise a google search on "PSU calculator", or similar, is bound to turn up many more links. ;) Bazza
