Hi, could you Please tell me the Model Num. of the Power Supply...I have a IBM Thinkcenter 8810 and need to upgrade the stock 240watt power supply to 400watt or more, but I'm having trouble figuring out which BTX Power Supply is compatible with the IBM.

Are all Thermal Take Power Supply with BTX connection compatible with the IBM Thinkcenter??.....PLEASE Help!!

Thanks!!

@gmansadat @gmansadat If you have a BTX and not the tower, than you are going to need a power supply that has the fan in the front and the back, not on top... to illustrate, I put a link to my power supply in this comment. This particular power supply was like 10 bucks off of ebay, and I have had it for 3 years with no problems whatsoever.

does every pci express card work with the thinkcenter m51?

[CRXspeedshift]

Well man, the m51 thinkcentre is a small form factor PC so if you have a huge card that takes up two spaces it will not fit.... you need a card like the 8800gt. Also I had to free up some resources on the motherboard, in particular two usbs in order to use it.

can u pls send me suggestions, i want to get a good video card that could run call of duty 4 on it and it fits my thinkcentre a53, thanks!

[CRXspeedshift]

well you will probably want to get the 8800GT OC, made by BFG. Thats what I am using and it is working great. Make sure the card is not too bulky or it will not fit in right.

@Dontpickmelast101 I have a Mac G3 but it's not going online, I just spent a bit of time with it, it's so ALIEN!

[Dontpickmelast101]

@MetallicBill never mind you need an ethernet cable for connection in this computer, airport cards are only for macs its for wireless internet.

@Dontpickmelast101 Internet? What is Airport card??

[MetallicBill]

Mine's running DVD on a BluRay SATA drive, but BD won't work, I downloaded the proper X1300 Radeon driver, the better card I have won't work, the slot location is taken away with space for the PSU plug, sadly, no large heatsink will work on these

[Dontpickmelast101]

is it wifi capable or do u need to buy an airport card? if u need an airport card, which one will u need?
