most likely this is a crap PSU... 400W is enough, but the price isn't... Go for a higher price range. Never cut budget on the PSU!
If you buy one and you can choose between a few, get the one that is the heaviest. This indicates in almost all cases a very decent quality.
Look if there are plugs to put the power of your monitor in (very handy; though in that case get a PSU with a bit more wattage).

Get a decent graphics card which supports dual view (not all do! some only support clone view), and one with two DVI connectors (not one with one VGA and one DVI).
Never knew that some only suported clone view
thanks, i will ask the guy at th local pc shop which one in the range to get.

Seeing as youre not going to be gaming, as you said in your previous post, get a nVidia 7300 GS. I used to have that and it ran dual screens fine.
Yeh i think a dedicated grapics card would be a good idea .. thanks
@ dazzy - Thanks for the AMD and intel setups! i think i like them, the two asus drives look very good, but i dont think i shoulhd be spending that much on a PSU....

I agree although i have saved up enough (will save more though
) for dual screens (hopefully 20") so i may aswell use the money, i like the concept of dual screens too so
thanks everyone
A lot of help there, alot of info for me to take into condideration, one i get it build (eventually
) i will post a thread in GCC or T&T about it to let you see what i ended up getting..
thanks again!
P.toye
