What do people think...
I have an Antec SP400 - the same one that I repaired, had to replace 5VSB caps and the switcher IC. It was working fine with 4 HDDs on a 3GHz P4 (Pres-Hott), but when I hooked up three more HDDs, it wouldn't turn on! Remove some HDDs and it works again. It might be the spin up surge of the HDDs but it's pretty rough.
Maybe I have more bad caps? This machine also would not power up with an Antec SP300 when it just had 4 HDDs, hence I had to put in the the SP400. Maybe the SP300 also needs new caps too.
I dropped in that BBQ'ed 750W PSU I just repaired and it started up just fine.
