First OfficerI am in the market to purchase a new PC in the next month or so. I know it's recommended that we go with a large power supply to run video cards and was wondering what you ended up with? Seems like many new PC's out there are lacking wattage and wanted to know what you got?

Chief CaptainA 700 or a 750. I wanted a 1000 but they didn't use them, it wouldn't fit in their standard case.
It's running everything fine and I have a pot-full of USB items and many things in the machine that eat power.
First Officerwhat brand is it?

All of Gateways (unlike Dell, HP, Compaq etc.) hardware is off the shelf with the exception on the p/s and case.
I asked and he checked with the supervisor and because they use so many the have Thermaltake, Antec and Enermax make them under the Gateway name.
At least it's a name brand.
They can't afford to have junk because the have a 3 year free replacement (with labor on site) guarantee.
I've been doing business with then for a dozen years as has my family and we've yet to be stung by them..
First OfficerOh ok.. I was also considering a Gateway too. My first choice was a Dell but their power suppliers are marginal and would not take a good video card. Gateway has one that has at least a 700 watt p.s. I was going to get and then buy a g force 8800 gts video card later once DX10 is released. I could go crazy with a new PC and spend thousands of dollars but I have to do what I can afford but still have the speed and quality needed to run Vista and DX10.
Thanks for the info.
