- Some vendors sell EISA tower systems, which they claim are adequate for
- server applications, but use 220 watt power supplies (Gateway and Dell,
- for example). Claims such as "we load up all 8 drive bays without any
- problems" are made. Other vendors offer 300 or 450 watt supplies for
- similarly configured EISA systems. Anyone have any opinions on what is
- really adequate, what is overkill, etc.?
