Pre-edit: Really? (... and additional BS...)

You're right. Thanks for the wakeup call; I see now why flamewars start so easy. I'll make better use of my keystrokes in the future.

SmartPower2 has modular leads and two 80mm fans. TruePower has one 120mm fan and fixed leads, with only the 24 pin connector shielded. I believe most important difference is the % variance in power delivery. TruePower is something like 3%, SmartPower higher (less desirable.) If you are in to picking nits or extreme overclocking, clean power delivery is important. I think I will wander over to NE, pay the extra $33, and get the TruePowerII. Still a 'good' price, at this point in time.
