[Tekman]

I want to ask something about redutant power supplyes.
Did they good for our ordinary systems, did they work much better, and what is key difference bettwen thi two kind of PSU's?
I know they are much expensive.

The key difference is that you have a backup in case one fails. I think it is a waste for personal computers because a bit of downtime really doesnt usually hurt that much. I would say just go with a high quality PSU. If you have the money and dont mind the noise PC Power and Cooling is probably king.

Redundant PSUs are actually TWO PSUs in one case - if one quits, the other takes over. Only needed for computers that must be up 24/7...
. With the PC P&C PSUs you don't need to get the Turbo Cool (noisy) models, they also have the Silencer series which are about a quiet as any.
. The turbo cool is meant for those situations where the PSU fan will be the only exhaust fan for the case - if there are other fans, you could swap out the Turbo Cool PSU fan for something quieter as its only job will be to cool the PSU itself.
. Good for moderate $$$s are Heroichi (HEC distributed by Compucase in US)/Sparkle (Fortron based models - look for FSP in the model no.)/Fortron-Source.
