What Power Supply....and Where can I get it?

[jblondi]

Im thinking of upgrading to an athlon system. I was just wondering what power supply I should get to feed as hungry athlon, ge force, and lots of case fans? Ive heard of enermax and sparkle, where can I get those at a descent price? The last question is...im looking at an enlight 7233 case. What brand do they use for power supplies? A good mid tower/PS combo recommendation would be helpful too. Thanks for all the help.

you can get enermax's(probably the best power supplies) from Pham Computer. I'm not sure where you can get Sparkle's online other than Chip Merchant.

I dont know if your prices are that good. I dont want to crap on your thread, but I can get an enermax 330 shipped for 59. If you can find me one of those shipped for around 45 then we would be talking. Let me know.

sorry jblondi, i dont sell Enermax supplies, i believe i am the cheapest u can get a Sparkle shipped online. If not, LMK, i may be able to get it to you for less.

and Seventeams are very hard to find, but are one of the best out there.

ask the guys at hardware extreme about the Seventeam power supplies.


if i ever do decide to get a resellers liscence for stuff i sell, i'll try to get some enermax's then, but now, they are chargin me like 65 per 330. and like 115 for the 431. Which is basically retail price.

now if youre on a tight budget, you can always get a cheap approved one (like a deer) and just swap the generic 15cfm fan for a really good 80mm......
btw, phamcomputer is selling some NICE 80mm ADDA fans......they are 41dba (not TOO loud) but they pump out 50cfm!!!!!!!!!! and only for $8.00!!!!!!!!!!!! :0

Check out this Anantech power supply review.

A good review of the Antec PP303X and PP403X.

Good reviews of the Antec SX830 and SX1030 cases with the PP303X are at ApusHardware (SX830), ApusHardware (SX1030), GamePC (Antec 1030).

just to let u know, that anandtech review is from january

Well the Sparkle FSP350-60BN is a 350W athlon approved PS and
ComputerGate.com is selling it for $39.95 plus shipping.
Not a bad deal.....
Note: It's mislabled as a 300W on the ComputerGate site....

I've got the Enermax 330 and it's pretty good. I did have one die on me though.
