just pick up a 380-420W job from enermax or tagan, it'll be fine.

spec wise, look at this and make it cheaper using majick

What berk said.

We covered the fact that c2d can't really be beaten in the other thread, although I am looking forward to the phenom.

If you've got enough pennies to stretch to one that'll work with tyhe new rig, whenever thats made, 500+ watts, just so it'll be aaages before its needs to be upgraded.

I'm using a hyper 580w with modulars, the inside of my case is far neater since I moved to modular, plus there's so many rails its silly, the 2nd connector on my 8800 cupcake is on a rail all by itself, because I had it spare and thought what the hell. Its stable, tested the rails with a multimeter.

Anything other than asus, which broke on eions mate friends dogs pc, or summat like that.

It was an antec, I think. mrbobbins may have killed a hiper at some point.

Whatever.

Fairly sure my mate swears by antec, but then again he may just spec customers systems with them in because they then have to take it back to be repaired more often.

I think they're fine, but they need a certain amount of load to work.

Modular FTW if you can stretch to it, tidier cases make for better airflow - as an unutterably scruffy bastard I wouldn't bother if it was just to make it "look neat".

Hard.

Hell, Before you could get modular PSU's, I'd open standard ones and desolder anything I didn't need.
