Eish, just as i was talking about PSU's I think mine has died 
PC was on when I left home, off when i got back. Turned it on but the monitor didn't turn on & couldn't hear the hard drives spin either, even the cathodes were dim, the only thing i could hear was the case fans.
Specs: AthlonX2 3800+, Gigabyte K8N-SLI, Corsair 2GB, 7900gt, 2 HDD, 1 DVD on a Thermaltake PurePower 480w
help anyone?

Heard bad things about thermaltake psu's. Not that thats going to help you much at this stage. Try and get another psu from a friend and test to say if the system will boot then. If it does it's psu.

The 450W is also fortron sourced I heard, I have one and its great for overclocking and everything.
Anyway, the PSU calculator website I use says that system will use around 300W so a 450W is enough.

Check the fuse in the PSU.

You got a price for the 450W?
