Thanx guys for all your valuable feedback which made me choose antec 500w...the choice was based on availability otherwise i would have preferred a enermax.
I have a neo he 500w one ...i dont know whather it has fujyyu caps on it cause i have not opened it, as my warranty will be void if i do it and from the outside it looks balck colored caps.
Can i get any software which shows the watt of a psu and the watts consumed etc.
Ash.
 
No software, but a Multimeter can tell you how much power it's giving out (but it's a pain in the arse) and a power meter like a power angel can tell you how much it's drawing from the wall. (DO NOT TRY THAT WITH A MULTIMETER, YOU MAY WELL DIE)

Edit: At a guess you'll be drawing as much as 150W when you're using the CPU at full power.

OK thankx again but my question is what capacitor does a NeoHe 500 PSU use, is it better than the one used in True power series.

Whatever Seasonic put in it, they arn't crappy, I can tell you that for sure. BTW, all CWT made Antecs have the Fuhjyyu caps, the NeoHE is a Seasonic.

Bob, I've been wondering about getting a gizmo just like that. Looks like the Egg doesn't sell it, but other Inet merchants do. Any place in particular I should check? Looks like they run in the $30's.

Ash, glad you pulled the trigger - now get that box up and running! 😀
