Good post! Thank you for it! Finally, it became understandable the
difference to me! I want to ask you about Dell power supplies?
Have you ever used it? My friend suggests me this variant
http://hardware.be/power-supply/dell/l321x-psu.html but it is
very expensive and I am not sure that this one supply worth it!
What can you say about it? I will be very greatful if you tell me any
advise in choosing good hardware! Thank you!
