Looking for a new PSU

[OhHenry]

There are quite a few modular psu out there. X-connect is one, but I remember a thread that a guy got his components fried so I'm kind of hesitant. Another 2 I saw was Antec neopower 480w, but the cables aren't sleeved and I'm wayyyyyyyy too lazy to do it myself. Another one I saw was OCZ modular 520w and I'm wondering how it's cheaper then their own powerstream 520w. Any suggestions? I also saw that comment stating that 12v 2.0 saves more power, is that correct?

Probably want to stick with the Antec or OCZ and just sleeve the cables yourself. Better to burn 3 calories sleeving cables than burning half your computer parts getting a cheaper PSU.

Hi, The OCZ Modstream is a modular PSU with detachable power leads. It is less expensive than the Powerstream because it does not have the externally adjustable rails and LED's assoiciated with it. It the same great quality otherwise.
