Hi-
Thanks for the suggestion. I ordered the TR2-600W from a online e-tailer and I'll let you know how it went.
If I didn't use the above mentioned system for my diagrams, I would have retired it a long time ago. It still works great for what it does so another $70, on top of the original build cost of $4500, was money well spent.
I have 4 Toughpower power supplies from the 850w - 1200w range and have had no trouble at all from them. Rock solid supplies.
**Edit**
Got the TR2-600W, installed it on the old pc, hooked up everything, gave the 3.2 a light 250 FSB overclock, bumped the vcore to 1.575 and let the system boot. Been running for about 12 hours now with no problems. No burning plastic smell, no whine; it's working good.
Things I don't like about this psu-
1- it only has 1 cable with 4 daisy-chained 4pin plugs. My case is a ATX full size case. 22x20. My optical drives are at the top of the case and my graphics card and all my pci cards are at the bottom. My graphics card requires me to use 2 of the 4 pin connectors to supply power, via a 8 pin connector, to the card. The psu doesn't have the old 8 pin connector it has PCI-e connectors. But, I have a adaptors and lots of them so I'll make it work. It will be messy.
2- Don't like the fact that the fan exhausts into the case, right on top of a already hot processor. The psu is top-mounted in my case so I rotated the psu so the fan exhaust is up (requires another adaptor for the mounting screws). There is now a definite hot spot on top of the case but there is a bright side to everything: that hot spot keeps my coffee cup warm if I place it on that spot!
3- First power supply that I've purchased that didn't come with a power cord or mounting screws. > > I have lots of both but still . . .
Anyone looking to keep a old AGP, DDR, PCI system running, (AKA legacy system) this power supply will be ok if you don't have a ton of stuff to plug into it. You will have the 20 pin motherboard connector, 4 pin ATX 12v motherboard connector, 6 sata connectors on two different lines, and four 4 pin connectors, all on one line, for opticals and what-not. You'll be limited as to what you can hook up without using a lot of adaptors. Just be ready for some minimal cable modifications to your old system.
Don't take this as a negative post. The psu works great and that is what counts. The gripey stuff is about the cosmetics and not the function of the psu.
Too bad someone hasn't made a fully customizable psu, yet.
