I am just not sure because I heard about different Voltage ratings, the exact PSU model is ULTRA-QUIET PSU: SILENCER® 750 QUAD from PC Power & Cooling. You can't buy them in the UK so I am thinking of getting it from the USA.

When I plug in the USB cable to the computer nothing happens. The little white light on my Maxtor will go on but the windows explorer thingy doesn't open and the hard drive icon doesn't even show on the "my computer" folder. It was working fine a couple of weeks ago. What could be wrong? I did a system restore and it didn't fix the problem. Should I reinstall Windows?

I have currently on my Asus Motherboard PC5300 512 mb 667mhz (x2), and I ordered some more Ram. I just ordered 2GB Kingston 5300 or 5400 667mhz's. Now my question is, will it be okay to leave the other ram in. All these fall into my MB's compatibility. Would that mean I would have 3GB's of Ram or will I have problems installing the 2 sticks of 1GB each with these that are slightly lower?

One has a dual 450 MHz PowerPC G4 Processor with 758MB of RAM.
The Other one has a 400 MHz PowerPC G4 Processor (not dual) but it has a full Gig of RAM.

I'm thinking that the one with the dual processor would be faster, but the extra RAM in the other one could help with applications such as Photoshop which lag terribly once RAM is all used up, and I don't really know all that much about macs. Pretty much everything else about the two machines was the same.
Any ideas?

My system crashed, received warranty mother board and CPU, but the new (refurbished?) CPU already died in less then 1 hour? The guys fixing my computer says Dell uses poor quality parts? Anybody else have this problem. "Dude, I'm NOT glad I got Dell"!
