Pretend the power difference does NOT matter.
Which power supply would you choose, everything being equal.
I am building two computers, one is a home server, the other is for a friend. I have two power supplies, one is an Antec Neo HE 430; the other is an Antec Earthwatts 500D.
Neither computer needs a power supply this powerful as they don't even require power to the graphics cards.
The Neo HE is modular, which is nice, but good cable management can be just as clean. Also, the Neo HE has 3 12v Rails vs the Earthwatts 2 12v Rails.

Thanks guys!
