You don't really need a "good" one.

What I usually do when choosing a PSU is work out how much it is and have it give you an answer, for example 400W. Then add 100W on and you should be fine. My PC calculated to 340W but I have a 580W PSU.

Best to be safe than sorry!

Happy to help :-)
That was one little reason to post the thread... I didn´t know that either a couple of days ago. However, as beeing a programmer i was just about to start making one myself, but the first two rules in a programmers world is
1. Check out if this app exists...
2. Is it worth the money to make it yourself instead of buying it (it ** NEVER** is!!!)
2. Can someone else make this app more cheap... (always)

I THINK IT IS.
Hmmm? We´re about to go of topic, but...
That really needs consideration
How long would it take for you (and perhaps your crew) to make... Eh, let say Photo-snopp?
Photo-snopp is an app with the exact same functions and layout as Adobe´s Photoshop. Only the list of programmers and testers and the rest of the crew (about 600 people all in all) is different - there´s Enterprice1701 and crew instead. Note, we are not talking about cracking already made software. We are talking about starting with

main[photoSnopp]
{
......GotoFirstProc(void)
}

I heard they spend something about 12K manyears producing that little tiny app

And let say you spent all that time making the app, then what? Would you be able to sell it to gain any profit? Why would anyone use your app instead of Adobe´s?

I can hear you say... Yeah, but that´s a huge app... Take something smaller... I say there are many freewares out there.

On the other hand, always consider... If someone else did this app what else except the main code are you dragging in to your beloved ´puter? That´s a seious important aspect

Cheaper to do it yourself? Well...
I wouldn´t go there but as you say you 'think it is', i take it you are a amazing fast and skilled programmer. To that i honestly say, you´re cool

Do you have any apps you can show off with? Perhaps a link to where i can read about any apps you made? Let me know It´s always fun to know another programmer
