Seasonic SuperSilencer 400W in both systems. Specs in my sig.

I could easily run both systems on a decent 300W PSU BTW.

I also run an Antec 430Watt Truepower Power Supply, and hopefully it will be usefull in my next build in a year or so, but who knows. It came in my Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG Case, and I love it.

I just switch to a Vantec Stealth 480W, my old 350 runs fine but it wasn't p4 compliant, missing the p4 plugs and not enough molex power plugs for all my drives.

Vantec Stealth 470w. What a freakin wrong name. This is the loudest component on my box. I'm tempted to disable two of the three fans on the unit and see how quiet it gets.
