    Will new power supply be ok?
    « on: January 03, 2009, 06:35:27 PM »
    hi, My power supply crashed a couple of weeks ago. I am running now with identical supply scavenged from spare pc. Friend has given me a good 400W supply but it has a big fan on top. My old supply would suck air from inside the pc case and blow it out the back panel. This new 400W appears to work differently. Will this work in my existing ATX case?

    Only if the case has an opening on the top for exhaust...otherwise you are assembling a convection oven.
