450 watt ps...what kind and where

[jungerer]

Looking to upgrade my ps to a 450 or even a 425. I looked at pc power and cooling and saw the Turbo cool 425 Atx. But wanted some opinions. It is for a thunderbird system so it needs to be amd compat. Looking for suggestions on what to get and where to get it. Thanks in advance.

hmm., I just bought a 350 Enermax off of E bay... It was $48.50. Maybe a good price, I dunno - it was easy to find. The same guy (really a business) had 450's also. I think they were $79.99

Thanks guys. Good suggestions. Never heard of Enermax before but the price looks pretty good. Almost 50-70 bucks cheaper then the turbo cool I saw. They just jumped to the top of the list. Thanks again.

Enermax makes really high quality stuff.
Even the ATX power connector is covered with braiding
Plus it really is QUIET!

I bought my Enermax EG451P-VE 431 Watt PS at Crazy PC. A great price for a fantastic PS. And it is extremely quiet. It is so quiet, I thought it was DOA when I turned it on for the 1st time.

Thanks again guys. you've convinced me. I'll be ordering it tonight.

Yet another vote for Enermax, I had very good luck with my 350.

Why do you guys need such high watt power supplys?

Im going to buy one of these as well. I need 400+ watts becasue i will be adding a 3rd hard drive and another cdrom soon. My 300 works great but i think it is noisy and I am begining to think that it cant handle 8 drives, 6 fans, 2 hard drive coolers, etc..

450 comes in handy with 8 hard drives, DVDrom, CDRW, ZIP drive and tape backup, 12 fans, etc, and going to begin using peltier.

They have a cute web advisor, you answer few question about your system, and they will tell you what to order from them.

I have a server that works perfect with a $60 300W ATX PS. I need a PS for a second similar server.

Their advice is to buy 425W $199 PS ?
