Subject: [Hampshire] [OTish] PSU/HDD Advice
Hi all, a little offtopic but need some tips on which PSU to buy for a
desktop case server system.

In the near future we'll be adding 650GB of audio data, this excludes
the amount of ogg/mp3 that we'll be adding to the server for creating
a complete mp3 library for our radio station.

The system is as follows:

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+
1GB DDR2
2 x IDE 300GB in RAID-1
1 x bbtv capture card ( three camera inputs )

We will also be adding an m-audio sound card sometime in the future.

The PSU in the machine is currently a cheapo one, I fear adding two
more hard drives is just asking for trouble.

So if people have got recommendations for a good reliable PSU and
which brand of hdd's would be good.

Cheers
