Ouch $200 for a 425W pws.

A couple of PW vendors have 'Athy compatible' PWS, for only $70.

The comp123 website doesn't list the PWS brand, the one on Direct411 is an Enermax which is a recommended PWS. However the particular model is not listed on AMDs site.

Finality,

The Computer123 item is the OEM version of a Enermax 450W PS. You can find it if you do a "Enermax Tech" search:

I bought a retail Enermax 450W from a local distributor. The price was higher, but I see what I got before putting down the money. It is the best under $100 PS that I have ever seen.

Thanks guys. I'm going to take the plunge with the Enermax.

I'll get the PWS with the lowest shipping of course 🙂
