I am curious how those more experienced with day to day use and application of power supplies would view the prospect, proposed on this site, of many companies putting out higher ratings than deserved in power supplies. And how this would apply to the Antec ?True Power? ps. For example, would the 430 ?True Power? ps equal the actual output of another company rating theirs at 500W. (or 550W)
I just purchased a 430W Antec TP ps, and it looks cosmetically good and has the good reviews, albeit possibly ?purchased? through advertising in mags. But would, for example the ?Mirror Super Flower 550W? PS, available at 25% less than the Antec,
Or the AGPB-P4ATX50F 500 Watt Power Supply, also 25% less than the Antec,
and reviewed well here: http://www.atruereview.com/500w/agpb.php
be even a better idea, and Antec ?True Power? being a marketing and cosmetic factor, or not. I have a large system with 5 hard drives, opticals, etc. and the previous lower rated PS seems to have died. Thanks in advance
