Problem for Antec SP450 450W SmartPower ATX 2.0 20/24 Pin ATX...

Looking for a Power Supply for a Dimension 4500.....

Hello,

I need to find a decent power supply with more juice than my stock 250Watt
unit. I've considered upgrading my video card to maybe an ATI 9800Pro All in
Wonder.

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this brand/model or could
recomend one. I'd like to keep it under $100.

"Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-450 450W P"

My System Specs:

Dell Dimension 4500
2.8Ghz Pentium IV
1 Gig of ram
36 Gig Western Digital drive
250 Gig Maxtor drive
250 Gig Seagate drive
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2
ATI Radeon 9600XT 256 mb
52X Lite-On CD-RW/DVD drive
8x Sony DVD+/-RW drive.
Pinnacal PC/TV capture card
NEC 1810 18" flat panel
WindowsXP Home Edition

I agree with Tom 100%. Besides, you won't find a compatible power supply
from anyone other than Dell.

Technically speaking, you are correct. I suppose I didn't think anyone who knew better would actually pay the price, so I disregarded it.

Nah, don't bother.

Most manufacturers rate their power supplies at the peak available --
meaning a short burst. Dell rates it at a load that can be sustained.

The 250 in your 4500 is MORE than enough for your configuration. I have a
4550 with the same power supply (in fact, with a P4-2.8, are you sure you
don't have a 4550?) and run a very similar configuration with two hard
drives, an Audigy 2, two optical drives and a 9800Pro. The 9800 has been in
the machine for years.
