I would be willing to donate some money if other people would help out too? If we all pitched in just a little bit, he would have one in no time. Anybody else in?

EDIT: Maybe we could all pitch in and get him this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151027

IT has a 5 year manufacture warranty...and pretty good ratings. If that is the case, we could all pitch in like 5 bucks a piece or something which would make it easy to get.

Yeah, I like that idea bklax. if everyone helped out, we could all give seven bucks or something and buy Sharp a new power supply.

But... 500+ watts? That seems like a bit much, I can run my crazy quad-core and everything off of a 400 watt just fine.

Newer CPUs don't necessarily use more power, even though they get more done. I added an X1950 to my aging system to make it passable for Source games, but between that card, the P4 Northwood, four hard drives, a TV tuner, etc. I wouldn't dream of using a PSU advertised less than 500W. I blew out a 500W Antec within the past year with this setup (damn you VRAD!).

Yea VRAD murders my PSU routinely, I had a 480watter and that lasted 4 years and blew, then I got a 400 watter and it blew within a month, so I assume I need around 500... IDK its really annoying especially because I have so much time on my hands

I got this back in January, been happy with it so far (although that's not a long time). Only 3 SATA power connectors though. I didn't look around but with the $10 MIR it might be pretty good.

I've used the 700watt OCZ version of that on a couple computer builds.. Haven't heard any problems, so OCZ PSU's are pretty solid.

$75 before rebate.

$50 after.

Has got good reviews. Just another option.

I used to have a 450 watt laying around, but before I moved back to Indiana I gave it away. I'm on a 750 watt right now. It's more than I need, but I made sure there's more if I need it in the future.

You should try saving up money. I have a bunch stashed away and don't spend much, so it just keeps collecting. Kind of nice to to worry about it, and it's there if I need it.

Thermaltake is a trusted brand. Antec was once a good powersupply brand until both of my 500 watt and 300 watt stopped working.

I got this in my email and one of the thermaltake powersupplies is on rebate. Only $39 after rebate, we can chip in 5 bucks each easily. I can donate $5 and everyone else can help. He worked hard developing the GES, so we should give back respect and pay him for his hard work and his accomplishment.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153052

I use a 500watt thermaltake and lasted me for 5-6 years. Since then, I have not changed the fan, nor was it noisy.

Just my 2 cents... ;)

Ok, we have a couple choices. Lets see what kind of $ we can get.

Osaeed2k9 = $5
CCsaint10 = $5

I'd be willing to throw down a fiver if needed.

with that we pretty much have shipping covered... so about 55-60 more...lol. We'll see what we can do(but were all pretty much broke).
