Which one is perferred?

[xocoatl]

Etasis Gaming Power product line: ET-850 or Silverstone Zeus line: ST85ZF

Each of these models currently have a $40.00 rebate from newegg.

Does anyone have expereince with either of these two units. I will be purchasing a Silverstone TJ-09 case this weekend, and need to know if either of these two units would fit.

Thanks in advnace for your comments.

I would imagine the Etasis being higher quality as they are server grade psu's. Not to say the silverstone would be a crappy psu; but personally I would go with which ever is cheaper up front as they both are great. (Currently using a silverstone psu)

they are probably about the same PSU as Etatis makes the Silverstone Zeus

Same PSU. Note that these are based on older Etasis designs that are not very efficient. I have not seen any tests of the 850W unit, but given Etasis' track record and the superb voltage regulation of the 750W unit, it is not a stretch to say that the 850W unit would be just as good.

Etasis for 100$ is a bargain, AR of course ...

Do you really need an 850W PSU? What are your specs?

here we go again.......lol

At 100$ it doesn't really matter if you NEED a 850 or 750w PSU, the next best thing he could possibly get is a 520hx for 80$ AR. The etasis IS a better unit then the 520hx, provides LOADS of headroom for future upgradibility, and that for 20$ extra. If it comes down to a 80$ and a 200$ PSU, then you could argue, but 100$ for a qaulity 750w PSU ? Not really ...

As far as I know Silverstone rebadged Etasis power supplies for the 56, 75, and 85 ZF series. I don't know who made the 65.

Either one should be quite good. Even if you're only gonna load the thing up half-way you should still get the benefit of greater efficiency.

Lots of reasons to go big even on a small demand system. My favorite is that the fan will hardly if ever ramp up....enjoy the lack of noise. The ripple will be nearly non-existent. They will not consume much more power than lower rated units at idle. Efficiency is pretty good on most of the newer big units......
