Computer Head Fully Optimized Messages 2,841 Jun 29, 2006 #8 Here's a 600W for $79.99 from Tiger Direct. It is a Ultra X-Finity power supply. SATA Ready with FlexForce Cables. It's normally a $119 power supply that's down to $79 through Tiger Direct. I would recommend getting it through them. Here's the link: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1273341&sku=ULT31848

Kage Golden Master Messages 13,873 Jun 29, 2006 #10 hmm, if its a screeching sound, it sounds more to do with a power problem definietly. Are you sure your using a plug with the right ampage in it as the PSU specifies?
