Introduction:

PC Power and Cooling provides some of the best power supplies available. We consider their power supplies to be of the highest quality and design. They have many different models for different systems. Some come with fans that are quieter than others are. They also customize power supplies with options on this list.

As we have said many times, the Power Supply is the heart of any system. Unstable power can lead to instabilities and other hardware failure. Today we look at the PC Power and Cooling 510w power supply. The power supply that we are looking at has been customized with external potentiometers, which is very helpful for tweaking the 5v, 3.3V, and 12V lines.

Here's a neat PDF file that compares the PC Power and Cooling 510w to another 550w brand.

Dell Small Business - Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower Computer with 2GHz Dual Core, DVD+/-RW and 160GB SATA Hard Drive for Only $329!
We've got 2 Dell Vostro desktop computer deals for you to look at this week:
  • HOT! The $299 desktop computer deal is still running, albeit on a different section of the site (it's like musical chairs,... but not as fun) and sitll comes with a 2.00GHz Dual Core processor, 1gb of memory and a 80GB hard drive. HOWEVER, the HOT deal is the Dell Vostro 200 offer you see for $444. Click on Customize It, keep the base package, and then go to Monitor and DESELECT the 19" LCD to drop that puppy down to just $329! For $30 more (compared to the other deal) you get a 160GB hard drive (which is bigger than the other one) and a dual layer DVD burner! DELL VOSTRO 200 SLIM TOWER DESKTOP COMPUTER DEALS
  • It's the same story with the Vostro 410 series. They've got a decently equipped Vostro for $549, however, choose the $694 unit right next to it, deselect the monitor, and within $30 of the lowest priced one, you get one that has a dual layer DVD burner as well as a bigger hard drive! I don't think these deals are supposed to be like this so if you want it, get it SOON. DELL VOSTRO 410 DESKTOP COMPUTER DEALS
