hey, looking to get a dual 450 gigabit working and i need a power supply. i see i can mod an atx one and make it work, and i also see plenty of 22 pin supplys on ebay and the net in general, what im worried about is it seems these supplies die A LOT. so im not sure if i should just mod an atx one, or go after a real mccoy? i typically leave my computers on 24/7 so id rather not have to worry about the supply.
as i mentioned in another post im extreamly new to mac and took on this project to learn from it. moding a power supply is easy for me, but i dont know how much i trust the lack of 28v?
also on a dual 450, should i aim for tiger or leopard? machine will be used for internet mainly, email, messaging. and will probably end up with 1.5 to 2Gb of ram and a decent video card, probably in the 128-256mb range. i have a few laying around that i beleive can work. look foward to any comments and tips. thanks
oh and forgot to mention, i will not be powering an apple monitor with it. but im not sure if thats the only thing the 28v is used for?
