IMO, the Antec Quattro.

Never heard of NZXT so definitely the Antec.

NZXT. They are the no.1 BEST Computer case company. So if you have a NZXT case get a matching PSU for best results.

The Antec, NZXT are more focused on case so..

oh i got a thermaltake armor. oh guess i made the right decision. the guy from ibuypower called me up this morning when i was still sleeping its a good thing i didn't request him to add the NZXT PSU to my system and i bought the Quadttro from buy.com last night.

ThatGuy16 · 08-03-2007, 09:47 PM

I hear ya, the Quattro would even be able to run SLI'ed 8800's so yeah its on the "future proof" side
