24 Pin PS?

I'm about to build an nforce 4/amd 64 and I plan on getting the chaintech board but it requires a 24 pin connector for the motherboard. Does anyone know of a cheap but good (If they even can be used in the same sentence) power supply? I'd also like it to be some what quiet.

Also, does anyone know if the antec sonata's power supply has a 24 pin connector?
 
You're still not giving a good definition... Affordable to one person is cheap to another, and over the budget limit on yet another... I paid between $100 and $150 for my current PSU. That's because it was still fairly new when I purchased it so the price hadn't dropped any yet...
 
What will the PSU be powering? This is really important for a recommendation.

Regardless of what it is powering I recommend against ThermalTake, one of those went out on me last October in under 2 weeks of use. Not fun.

This past week I got a Fortron Blue Storm 500W for $89, it's has dual rails, 24 pin connector, long cables, and everything is sleeved nicely. It's cooled by a 120mm fan and has an open grill in back. The 400W model is around $60-70 I believe.
 
Well either a foxconn/winfast or chaintech motherboard (nforce 4).... Dvd Burner, Dvd Drive, a PCI-E Video card (not sure which yet), 120 gb hard drive, and an AMD 64 3000+.
 
u would reccomend the OCZ Modstream 450 at monarch, its $80 and has PCI-E cables, is reliable, modular, and is cooled by one very queit 120mm fan

ocz is really nice, along with forton.
 
OCZ Powerstream is top teir with Zippy and PCP&C. THe modstream falls into mid range, and enthusiast category. However the 24 pin cable a lot of manf are including an adaptor now ie Seasonic.

You can run without the 4 pins just make sure to plug it into the correct 20 pins.

Would anyone post here the UL file number (found below the RU symbol) off an OCZ PSU (e.g. E123456)? All the pictures I've seen have it too small to read. They look like they might be OEMed from Channel Well, but it will be interesting to find out.

I wouldnt both because VirtualLarry already looked it up.

They are made by TOPOWER and HEAVILY modified.

Well i cant fine the UL on the PSU or the box.

However, the TUV cert is 18176. The RU cert is E130843. The CSA cert is LR90706/ THe ummmm little check mark cert is M452509. It is also CE CB and FC certified. I would give the UL number but i dont know where it is.
