Hi guys I have the NZXT Lexa Blackline case which im using for my next computer build.. I have however encountered a possible problem. I was told that you cannot use a high wattage PSU with the cases as it blows the HDD LED. Now using the PSU Calculator at a particular website, It says that I will require a minimum 633 Watt PSU to run the stuff I want to load the tower with.. On the box of the Case it says Power supply 500watt 400watt or not included. What wattage power supply do you think ill get away with? does anyone know of or has heard of this problem? Heres a list of stuff im planning on loading the tower with: Mobo: Biostar Tpower X58 CPU: Intel Quad Core i7 975 3.33Ghz Extreme Edition Socket LGA1366 Memory: 12GB (6 Sticks) Corsair Dominator GT DDR3 2000Mhz (With Airflow Fan) Video Card: 2x ATI Radeon 4870 2048MB DDR5 running crossfire HDD: 2x 1.5TB Barracuda drives Optical Drives: A Blu Ray BD-RE/DVD/CD and a regular DVD-RW/DVD+RW Drive Sound: Sound Blaster titanium with front bay May have 1 or 2 additional cards such as RAID or Firewire maybe a Wireless card Other Devices: Front bay: Card Reader/LCD Display/Fan Controller 2 Cold Cathodes for inside 3x 120mm LED Fans and 2x 80mm LED Fans and I think thats about it Thanks Mike
High wattage power supplies will not blow out you hdd led. So I would use the corsair 750watt psu. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006 If you have not bought those parts yet I would recommend a few changes. First save yourself $750 by getting the i7 920 instead of the exrteam. It will over clock almost as high. Then instead of 4870s use the left over money the cheaper cpu to get either 5870 crossfire or a single 5970. cpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202 video x2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150443 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102863
