I got the new 850 watt power supply in the old computer. Anyone need a 650 watt power supply? One drive on the RAID would drop out, I presume due to lack of power. The new PS as them all running no sweat, and it is rebuilding the RAID and saved the data so it was a good test. 35.7 TB of space from five 10-TB drives. So a decent chunk of overhead for the RAID.
The new PS was not in the totally over the top packaging like the one for my monster computer. Who wants or needs a custom bag just to hold the cables hat might not be used. Since I put two video cards, and 7 hard drives in it, all the cables were used. It has a 850 watt PS as well. Again I think back to the olden days and building computers and a 200 watt PS was a bragging point with a 66 MHz CPU.
