Recommend PSU for P180?

[teddyv]

Howdy folks - my only caveat would be no Antec PSUs - both the original and replacements of the Antec TruPowers that came with my SonataII have failed. I found the SonataII to be a pretty poor quality case and I have had nothing but problems with it, so far the front audio jack has failed, the door has fallen off, and the video card never really could be seated properly unless I didn't screw it all the way into the case. Saving grace is support is good if a little slow. Hopefully from the comments I've read the P180 will be better. Sure will be nice to have the room!

Thanks!

It's modular and quiet. It's designed for the p180 case.

Modular and high w rating. More future proof.



Both these PSU are virtually silent and made by seasonic. Seasonic is argueably the best psu make out there.

Here is what I have:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 Venice DH-E3 3000MHz
Motherboard: Epox EP-9NPA+Ultra
Memory: 1000 MB of Corsair ValueSelect DDR 400
Video Card: MSI x800-128 ATI Radeon
Four hard drives (going to love the extra space in the P180).

The big concern I have is the Mobo's power connector is up high next to the CPU and I want to make sure I can reach it.

Thanks for the input so far!

Enhance ENP-5150GH from eWiz via Froogle (save a bit that way). The mobo power pigtails are a bit over 18" so as long as the ATX and other mobo connectors aren't on the farthest side from the PSU, then the length should be OK.

Seasonic S12 430W or Enermax Liberty 400W (you will love the modular cables in the P180).
