P160 antec +Antec 430 True power

[rookie1010]

Hi
What do you guys think of a P160 antec case + Antec 430 watt true power. I was thinking of a P1080 but it is not available, then thought a botu a sonata, but read that it is flimsy.
so now i am thinking of the P160+antec 430 watt combo

would appreciate wahat you guys thinnk about such a combo?

The Sonata is NOT flimsy at all except for the front USB ports, and they're not that bad IMO. It's solidly built and can take a beating (although the paint may not look as good after said beating ). Both cases are great, you can't really go wrong with either (I own both).

I personally prefer the P160

Yeah, I'd go with the P160 aswell, that case looks awesome. :thumbsup:
2 x 120mm for intake/exhaust on both cases, so both are quiet and have decent airflow.

I have the Antec P160 and Truepower 430W and like both very much. I have an MSI board with AMD 3400+ with Zalman CPU fan, Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer, 3 hard drives, and cd/DVD, and am overclocking and the 430W handles it all. Get the latest version with 26A on +12V rail as earlier version have lower amperage.

I love the P160, every detail in that case has been well thought out.

I love my case, and the two silent 120mm fans keep it lovely and cool.
Case temp at full load (Prime 95 for 3 days) is 35 cpu 43

Yes, the newer version of the Antec True430 psu has more amps on the 12V rail.

Yes, latest version of Truepower 430W. Antec has been upping the amps of its power supplies recently without changing PSU names - this has confused some buyers. Older Truepower 430W's have fewer amps on the +12V rail than current models with the same name.
