Gateway (1532852) Power Supply Recommendations

180 Watt ATX Power Supply converts the type of electrical power available at a wall socket, 120 volt, 60 Hz, into current the computer can use, +5 and +12 volt DC current. Usually the digital electronic components and circuits in the computer, such as the motherboard, adapter cards, and disk drive logic boards, use +5 volt power, and the fan and disk drive motors use +12 volt power. For the computer to run properly, a steady supply of both types of current must be supplied at all times.
