    how hard is it to change a power supply

    Want to upgrade it to 400 watts, I was looking and it doesnt look too hard. Do I have to fuck with anything on the motherboard as far as jumpers because I am going from 300 to 400?

        Piece of cake - even my wife could almost do it.

        Just make sure you unplug it first

          Not. Its a 12V supply, moron. Taking apart a monitor and touching that capacitor on the other hand, can definitely kill ya.

                  Hope you're not planning on having 5 Hard Drives and couple CD ROMS in it. HAHA, because I just found out that a 450 Watt power supply doesn't have enough power cords for all the devices, only 4 HD's, 1 CD-ROM, then I have the last power connector is connected to my Sound Blaster Audigy front panel, so I could control my music from across the room!
