I'd like to replace the 25 year old power supply in my Pentium 3 system (450Mhz slot 1, Voodoo 3 2000). From what I can see on other threads these use so little power that "any" modern PSU should be able to cope, but I wonder if anyone has any wisdom to pass on regarding what to go for? I don't think I need -5V for my ISA sound card with some OPTi chipset I don't remember.
I did try a PSU swap some years ago with some random spare power supply I had, and the computer/PSU shut itself off again after a couple of seconds every time, hence me asking for advice! I use a real IDE hard disk and CD-ROM drive, so hopefully enough to keep the 12V rail loaded?
