"The first one was recommended in Anandtech's January High-end Buyers Guide. The second seems just as well built and has more "juice" available. Around $14 ground shipping on both.
Any experience, thoughts? Thanks.

Personally, I'd go with the 530W mainly because it has a 120mm fan vice 2-80's.
530W is plenty of power for all but the absolute highest end systems.

However, the 580W does have 2x PCI-e connectors which is nice if you are using SLI.
