I think they'd both be good... uhhh.... antec I guess. (I don't really have any good reason for picking it over the enermax though, just that I remember some reviews showing some enermax PSUs weren't as great as they've been made out to be)

EDIT: twitchee, pay no attention to this, but if anyone comes in here looking for PSU recommendations, I think I'd pick a Seasonic instead.

You can make a pole :) You'll probably get more quick opinions then from people who don't want to write out something.

Just make sure you add Poll in the title. People love poles ;)

Neither one. I think they're both OEMed by the same company (Channel Well), which isn't bad, but for the money I'd rather have a Seasonic S12.

EDIT: :eek: Gah... I didn't see that--and it's only 10 PM! Toss a coin--as I said, they're both OEMed by the same company. Any particular reason why you can't consider alternatives, though?

I'd get the Antec for the speed controlled Fan Only connectors.

I also think both are equally good. Its just that I think enermax has a slight advantage.

Of those 2 I'd prolly go w/ the Enermax, but @ that price point I'd also suggest a Seasonic S12 series PSU

I was under the impression the same company makes Antec and Enermax. Therefore, you can't go wrong. I wouldnt spend this much on a PSU. If I was, I'd get OCZ 520 Powerstream for $128. It's better to have 1 strong 12V rail than 2 16A ones. It'll be better looking, quieter than both of them, have 5 year warranty, much better cable sleeving, shielded HDD/VGA connectors, longer cables, proven for overclocking, bulletproof stability, adjustable rails.

I've heard that Channel Well is making Enermax's PSUs now too (Antecs have long been mostly CW), so there probably wouldn't be a nickels worth of difference.
