i have a 250W psu, 5 years old, still works well [i do open it and blow the dirt of once every year or something]

my problem, howveer is this; i want to buy a new pc and i want the following DRIVES installed

2 SATA drives [raid 0 config]
1 CDRW
1 DVDROM
1 CD ROM [existing one, cause there are some CDs the newer drives are not able to read, dunno why]

plus an odd HDD once in a while, you know, swapping stuff off friends

where do i get a psu with so many power connectors?

think you can get a splitter for ur power cables, im not 2 sure though

Most new power supplies have quite a lot of power connectors but if you need more there are splitters as Kunal just said.

Here's an example:

[james_bond_rulez]

when I need to sleep i turn my computer off.

I found if I leave it on while i am sleep I dont get good sleep.

the fans......just too loud

[puk:))]

i turned mine off a couple months ago to fit a network card.

cant remember the time before that

I don't want to risk damaging my pc

Then don't turn it on and off!! leave it on.

Yep!

That's the way i do it.. leave it on all night and day, reboot it and and leave it back on 24 hours.

Just to flush it all..

I use to turn off my computer once a day for a few minutes. I think it performs better then...

Though you must see how you feel when you touch your hard disk after leaving your computer on for a day at least...
