i have no experience w/ TT but antec has been a solid performer for me and come w/ many recommendations.

Thermaltake just copies other companies ideas and implements them poorly, with flashy ricer crap slapped on. Their power supplies are notoriously loud, but reliable.

Enlight PSU + louder fan + polished surface = Thermaltake PSU.
They are about even I think, but I'd probably take Antec.

 

[McArra]

Have any of you had experience with a TT power suply?

I have, and all I can say is they are SILENT when auto controlled and with very strong rails.

i've been looking at the 480 butterfly. sweet fan led's. was gonna put it in the lanmoto with a 2.8 northwood and a asus 655tx. kinda new to all this stuff, but hopefully boning up on reviews and some honest feedback from you guys will give me a good idea of what i'm getting myself into. running on a celeron right now... i know, pathetic. onboard video!!!! i need to be drawn and quartered.

I have a TT 420W purepower w/ PFC... no complaints here, its actually very silent, my stock GFX card is louder than my PSU.

thermaltake has pretty good prices when it comes to power supplies

Thermaltake 420 is on sale right now at Newegg for $39 w/ free Fed Ex Super Saver shipping. It is very tempting.

I used to say Antec as well. However I recently have had problems with them, so next time I will probably go thermaltake or someone else.

Never had an issue with any Antec product. I've used a couple of Tt PSU's and wasn't overly impressed by them. They haven't failed, yet or as far as I know, so the jury is still out there. For me, I'll stick with Antec for my own systems. I was using one of their 380W True Power PSU's for about 3 years without any issue. I sold it with my previous case before getting a new Antec one and it doesn't have any issues either.

I would get an antec if those were my only 2 choices. However, I have Zalmans and seasonics in the boxes that matter most to me.

roger that .

I would go with Antec, but I'd rather spend the money on a Zalman - active PFC, >85% efficiency, and q u i e t!

 

[jkresh]

havent had problems with antec, zalman and enermax are also solid choices. TT will probably be fine, but more of a second tier manufacturer then top tier (antec, enermax, zalman, pc power and cooling...)

I'd go with Antec, as someone said...

Word homie Geee....

i have 3 Antecs, a 300w, a 350 SmartBlue, and a 550 TrueControl and I have 2 Enermax 350's Whisper Quiet. i like them all, they do their job and they do it well. but the 550 is my favorite b/c i can control my fans on it also. but it's pricey. if i didn't get lucky and find the 550 at a great price, i would have bought a TT, purely b/c of Active PFC and cheap price. but go w/ Antec.

Antec is one of the best psu suppliers. I think Thermaltake is crappy company who copy other compnies things.

Sounds like at least one computer company that I know of... Give you a hint, they innovate nothing, copy other companies products, and claim to have done things when people KNOW they didn't... The company name is 4 letters and ends in a pair of l's...

 

[Turkish]

Antec hands down.

I personally prefer the fortron 120mm series of psu's, you can't hear mine at all with the fan on low. (on high though it sounds like a mack truck)
