The Enermax is more powerful, but quieter. I personally own both powersupplies as well.

I have used the Sparkle 400w. It's fan is rather noisy. Combine it with a noisy cpu heatsink fan and you can just about go crazy, unless you put it in another room.

Well, I just bought one of the Highpower 340W psu's for sale here to go with my new 1.4ghz Tbird comp that I'm building. According to AMD it's certified upto 1.4ghz(the 300W highpower psu is also amd certified to 1.4ghz). The 300W version is $25.99 and the 340W version is 39.99. Shipping isn't too bad either.

Both are very good names! Either one will do so I guess the only clear cut factor is price.
