Hello all! Its been a while since I last posted!

Anyway, my old 300 Watt PSU died this morning after 12 months of reasonable service considering I got it free with a £20 cheapo case. I need to buy a replacement because my machine is currently running off a borrowed generic 300W PSU

I would like something around the 400+ Watt mark because I have a fair few hard drives in there. I would also like it to be reasonably quiet.

Looking at Enermax and Antec PSUs but I really don't know which is the better option.

The Antec which has really caught my eye is this one (got a 3 year warrenty y'see)
The Enermax I am considering is the 431W Enermax EG465AX-VE PSU.

Suggestions please!

Edit : Please don't suggest other suppliers or models because I live in the UK so US based suppliers are of no use!
 
Ordered that Antec TruePower 430w yesterday, but from ebuyter.co.uk since I ordered my case there at the same time.
Antec TP seem very highly regarded, if you need any more convincing check this article on THG. I gather this board generally views the best PSU's as:

#1: Antec Truepower
#2: Other Antec
#3: Enermax
Other OK, but well behind: Enlight, Sparkle. Possibly Hiper as a cheapo-but-ok?

I didnt find anywhere cheaper for the 430w TP than overclock.co.uk, possibly ebuyer.co.uk after shipping. scan.co.uk £1 more but yet more after shipping as i recall. Little point going for the 380w version imo, since I never found it more than £7 cheaper than the 430w.
 
I own both brands, but not those models and both are excellent quality with good features. Its a coin toss.
