Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

 PC POWER and COOLING. they offer a 1 Kilowatt supply with a better design than any other brick manufacturer.

this is the best argument I can find... and you can re-create the comparison by putting the specs of a PWR supply that you are thinking about getting up against it. I have a 510 in my system... it is smooth.

 FSP Group (Fortron) makes some of the most stable power supplies you can get.

-[link]-

is a good, relatively cheap one.

Some OCZ PSU's are also rebranded Fortrons, so look around for those.

I also wouldn't suggest modular cables. From my experience and some info from others, modular PSUs aren't as stable, and the resistance on the cables is higher, so you don't get as much out of it.

Keep in mind that the PSU is the most important part of your rig, especially if you plan to overclock. So don't skimp on it.

 I have Enermax in my computer. I would also recommend OCZ -[link]- They are not too expensive and they are black so they would match the case.

Be careful when buying stuff from Ultra. I had a PSU from them that was just completely unstable, and I've heard some stories involving spontatenous combustion.

 here's what i have: -[link]-

good reviews everywhere, very efficient (important!), and modular. also there is a deal for 30 dollars off right now so it's 139 instead of 169. had mine for over a year now with no problems.

edit: it's also really quiet if that's important to you Edited Wed May 16 2007, 09:31PM
