PSU suggestions?
I'm looking at this one,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171018 I have like 40-50 bones, tops, so that ultra x-finity 500w PSU ceewi1 recommends is out. This one looks good though, any one see anything wrong, or can recommend something better in the same price range? Last edited by hermeslyre; 10-23-2007 at 05:56 AM. |

I have a 550W power supply in my machine and it is more than enough power for what i use my system for.

Yeah, but wattage is just the beginning. I'm also looking at amperage, efficiency, quality components etc. My previous 450w PSU died after only 2 years, probably because it was a bad quality POS...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, but I think I may have found the one..
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171014 It's $100, but i have a coupon code to take $50 off! Suweet. Active PFC + dual +12 rails rated at 18a each = awesome. The code is EMC1023CASE01 for anyone wanting to get in on the action

Despite the labelling, it's actually a 500W Seventeam built unit with total +12V@30A and mediocre efficiency. Good for $50, but not worth that much more.
