Thanks for taking the hit to keep the folding going.

Well, the other option would be to send the 9600 back, and I don't want to have to do that! :finga:

An Antec Earthwatts 380w is plenty...

These are very good quality PSU's. I've got one powering a Biostar P43 mobo, [email protected] (aka QX9770), an overclocked BFG 9800GTX OC, 4GB of ram at 960MHz, 2x74GB raptor, a 150gb raptor x, and quite a few fans.

Does OCZ make a decent PSU?

Less than $40 as it is on special.

Edit: That's after rebate though, I hate rebates...

I just received the Earthwatt over the weekend. I will be putting it in her machine this upcoming weekend, hopefully it will be folding without further delay!
