300W ATX psu $25 @ Newegg - 08/08/06 03:25 PM
Need a 300W ATX psu for your sawtooth?
The Thermaltake W0070 is about $25 and performs well.
I ran FAH for 9 hours straight and it didn't hiccup.

Hope you didn't think that was a plug or advertisement.
I've noticed that since some more recent high power supplies do not have -5V (white) you may have some trouble with your power mac G4 booting properly.
I was using a silencer 470 ATX which has no -5V line. This power supply gave me lots of problems and I have since moved to the W0070 which has -5V.
If you are needing more power you can install and number of additional power supplies and jump them on the green/black mod.
I'm planning on doing this since the 300W will not be enough.
It appears on xbit labs testing that the W0070 is at most a 300W psu. I did some testing today and verified this.
You will need to make the -5V ground (black) on a sawtooth.
