PSU's for a LANparty/Gaming Netcafe

Re: PSU's for a LANparty/Gaming Netcafe

ok, i ve finished my installation all seems to go nice and smooth so far.
I do the ultimate test of powering up all machines simultaneously with the Netcafe Software i run (wake on lan) and they all boot nicely. Electrician guy came to take some numbers from the main installation, i run heavy benchies on all PC's, put all AC's on, vending machines, music, all lamps on, i read about 35 amps per phase.
Only drawback is one old AirCondition unit I got (38000BTU's) that when it turns on everynow and then to keep it's temperature (set at 23C) you can see the lights might go a little bit dark (that thing sucks for an instant about 30amps to start).
I hope that wont effect the PC's or PSU's! :-/

Wonderful! That's gotta be your influence, Will.

PS. JonnyGURU's short, but effective PSU reviews can all be found on http://www.psuinquisitor.com

The one for Powmax Assassin is still my favorite, though!

That's so weird. Everyone tells me that was their favorite review. I guess I need PSU's that fail miserably more often.

Yeah, that one i like too, it is so honest and 'different'

Congrats, sokos. I wonder if the 'soft startup circuit' that one of my friend recommend it to me will do some help for the problem like that. It consist of Cx, Cy, (big) double choke, and a resistor, look to me like input filter usually found on a PSu.

Yeah, Jonny, we need more cheap POS supplies reviewed.
