need advice for a upgraded PSU
current OEM fan has a rear exhaust fan.
I have been informed that the OEM no brand name 300Watt power supply that came w/ my Acer 3910 PC is a not a quaility piece?
I've read that
if a PSU fails it could potensionalley ruin the MOBO and CPU are both statements true or false?
What to look for in a PSU like are 2 fans preferred over just 1?
here's one w/ one fan

I have a couple of concerns w/ the Thermaltake
1. the SATA power connectors sleeved together if connected to the DVD drive the other cable won't reach the HDD?
2.I've read that Thermaltake doe'snt honor there rebates is this true or false?
 
what are +12V rails?
what are SATA power connectors this orginale wire harness has power for DVD, HDD1, extra HDD w/ slide in tray and a fourth power connection for a 3rd HDD. so I'm thinking the thremolake wire harness would'nt even work for me? or reduce me down to one DVD and one HDD connection.
 
Idealley I like a better than OEM PSU and just unplug the wire harness at the PSU and and plug the orginale wire into the new PSU is this possiable or will I have to unplug all the orginale wire and replugin the new wires? do PSU wireharnesses have lables?
 
PC is used mainly as a home threater PC for recording TV shows so I'd like to just leave it turned on at all times. I'm relucktant to leave PC on w/ this OEM PSU.
Thanks for any PSU advice
