I wasn't quite sure where to post this, but since it has to do with me wanting to overclock my system, I guess I'll put it here. What do you guys think of the new Antec Neopower 480? Info from TH here:Linky

It seems to be a very high quality power supply with a nice new cable management feature (only use the cables you need). I found it on Buy.com for 113 shipped. I'm looking for a new PS because I want to overclock my Barton 2500+ to a 3200+ and possibly get a Geforce 6800GT down the line (or other power hungry video card). I currently have a 300W Antec that came with my Antec SX830 from around three years ago. I suspect it is the reason I'm not able to overclock that well, but regardless, I feel that I need a new PS. While 113 is alot to spend on such an item, I feel that it is pretty future proof, as opposed to me just getting a 400 W PS right now. I feel that this would last me quite a while, 3, maybe 4 years hence?

Have any opinions?

Thanks :)

Update: Found cheaper price on Buy.com

You can get a Fortron FSP530W PSU for $75 from newegg. It has adjustable pots and sleeved cables. A steal for the price.

it easily ranks up there as one of the best psu's money can buy imo from what i've heard about it
i would like to see some reviews

it is pricey, but it's just a matter of what you wanna pay for

i own an antec 550, 480, and 430
all good psu's

It looks pretty awesome. Having two 12v rails with lots of watts to spare. The modular design is nice. i've only seen two reviews, but both loved it. I also think that the new OCZ psu's look interesting as well.
