Which Power Supply?

[Xeon]

Hello everyone,

I'm building a Dream machine and need to get some feedback on the power supply you would purchase for the following setup:

Asus P4C800-E
Thermaltake Highest Xaser III V2000A Super Tower
Intel 2.4C Ghz P4
2 - Western Digital 10K Raptors
1 - Western Digital Caviar
Pioneer DVR-A06U DVD/CD Writer

Keep in mind that this case runs 7 fans!

I doubt I'll use them all but as the case may be (no pun intended) I want to make sure I have enough juice and at the same time make sure it's stable juice for the rest of the machine.

Can any of you give me a recommendation as to which Brand an model you would choose and why?

I'm having a hard time finding any up to date reviews of the current PSU market so your feedback and first hand experience would be appreciated.

1. Put your parts in here and figure out how powerful a power supply you need.
2. Read this AnandTech article and pick a power supply you like, or else just get an Antec or Fortron with the required wattage.

I have a similar setup (but with only 2 hard drives and 5 fans). I use a "Real PC Power Titanium 450W power supply". I think it's kind of marginal for my system, though, and I wouldn't use it in yours.

One of the better of the Fortron/Sparkle 350W models or the Heroichi 350W unit would be more than plenty.
