what is a good power supply.

[McWit828]

I wanna build a comp and I need a power supply. I am between the thermaltake and the antec. looking at 500w or so... i will be running a 939 socket mobo, 1 or 2 6600gts, 1hhd, 3 fans, 2 drives, and some pci slot'd stuff. Getting a smoke finished transparent case, doesn't matter ir the psu has led's or not. Saw one with red leds, and the wires were glowing too, look'd awsome...any info will help.

Seasonic s12 500W or Antec Truepower 2.0 550W.

Seasonic is very expensive, but worth it if you've got the money.

Zippy 460w EPS12V power supply... 32A on the 12V. Runs about $99. Its a good supply, nothing flashy. No LEDs or any ricey stuff.

Agreed with Aisengard on the Seasonic-- Very high quality PSU.

If you are going to run 6600GTs, you don't need superpowerful PSUs. Just a 430W Seasonic S12 will do-- Not too expensive either, $82 at PC Alchemy.

You only need the 500W with 6-pin PCI Express graphics plugs only if you are going to use more powerful cards like the 6800s.

HTH.
