Leadman 400watt PowSupply=$55.00/300watt=$26 plus shipping

Use MC Exclusives for -10% (and it works). Blain says the 400watt rocks his rig, so do a search and find out his comments. I bought the 400watt (price has gone up $1.49 since then). Two ball-bearing fans. Don't think either of these PSs are recommended by Amd no more, so go figure.

I bought the 300 watt from Geeks, and it's a really nice PS, dual fans, and it runs my 1gig duron, with 6 fans great.

Hey, quick warning about the Leadman's. Bought one for our server at work and from the first day it made this weird whining noise. I always assumed it was a fan, or something. Since I usually don't sit inside the lab, I never bothered to fix it. But, a couple weeks ago, I had to spend more time inside with it, so opened it up to look at the fans and it wasn't the fan, but some other mechanism in the PS. Weelllll... This past Friday, tried to log in to the server and failed. Went inside the lab and found that the power supply had died.

Anyways, both times I've ordered items with power supplies from compgeeks, the power supplies have died. And RMA'ing the first one took 2-3 months to resolve, so... Bad luck? Bad products? Dunno...

The AMD support site still lists the Leadman 300w LP6100C power supply as Athlon approved. Don't see the 400w in their list though. I've had the 300w for awhile and haven't had any trouble so far. Satori, you're right about CompGeeks. If you have problems with an order or one of their products it can take a while to resolve.
