Poll: Poll: Best 350watt PSU

I just replaced my Antec 400 with an Enermax 430. (Trying to troubleshoot a strange problem but the PS wasn't it.) What a sweet powersupply!
 
PC Power & Cooling are incredibly well built and pricey.

Enermax are very well built, nice fannage, and the price is easier on the wallet.
 
Enermax and Sparkle are probably the best there is. I really dont see the justification in spending that much on PC Power&Cooling.
 
i've just ordered a generic 400w. one (perhaps it is not generic but the reseller did not know the manufacturer himself, so i just imagine it is not going to be anything extraordinary it costed me only 50$, what are the main differences between a good psu and a bad one, have i commited a serious mistake ( i do think this is an appendix to this thread as IMO the answer to my questions can be useful for most of the others)
 
i have a couple enermax's .. they work.. which is what i expect from a power supply.. seriously though, ya they have worked well, but the dual fan's, eh its a nice idea, but the "whisper fan" is a wuss, it might as well not even be there .. hm maybe i'll mod a real fan into it, anyone done it? ..

<< what are the key factors for a psu to be rated as a good one? >>




Mainly quality of the current supplied on the +5VDC rail as well as the combined current supplied by +5-VDC and +3.3-VDC power rails..as stated by AMD



<< To ensure reliable operation of AMD Athlon? Processor-based systems, an AMD-recommended power supply is required. Recommendations are based on the ability of a supply to provide the power sequencing and current requirements of AMD Athlon? systems. The current supplied on the +5VDC power rail as well as the combined current supplied by the +5-VDC and +3.3-VDC power rails has been tested on the supplies listed below. >>



 
Wow, thanks for the help everyone! I had a feeling the enermax was the best, but it's the most expensive of the 3.. The antec I can get for $45, the HEC for $51 and the Enermax for $63....
 
as i have ordered my psu already , is there a way to check -once i've installed it- at home for that amd-compliance, ia a mbm enough in order to do that?
