@TheGregaM - That was a PSU I had at the time. It now has a PC Power & Cooling Silencer, 420 watt, Plans for this server were RAID, web storage and communication server., and as well as alot of large drives. reason for the 420 watt, was Bang for Buck. also the PSU will not run full load, making it for a much cooler and stable enviroment. Plus if I need to add a video card or more periperials, then power wont be an issue.
Server is Still up and runnning 24/7 with a 100% intended uptime since July, only down for restarts, software updates, and hardware changes, This machine has already more then paid for itself.
@ABeans07, I agree as a server, the GPU was for testing only, to run 3Dmark06 I had to have a GPU to get a CPU score, I have since removed the 9800GT, and 9500GT, then a Radeon X300SE, now just using the onborad graphics. I appreciate the coment. Cheers..
@Joserpillarramos1 , Just like a normal computer, Insert the OS - CD or DVD into the Rom/Optical Drive and restart the PC. This will depend on what type and/or version of OS you are installing. Windows 7 Full Version, just insert the DVD, and restart the PC.
why 800W PSU for computer that can't even reach 150W at full load

That video card is overkill for a server -___-
