365566 2005-06-20 22:06:00 Judging by the increasing sound coming from my tower, I have a fair idea I will be replacing my PSU soon. Im thinking I might go for a 350-400W PSU
I am seeking the advice of you all as to a decent power supply brand.
Here are my current hardware specs....
2 Seagate harddrives (1 40GB(ma, Win) and 1 80GB(sl, Linux))
2 CDs (1 reader, 1 player for on the fly)
Socket 478 MSI mobo and P4 CPU
Floppy
Onboard Ethernet
AGP Grafix Card (nVidia GeForce MX440)

I am looking for a decent (doesn't have to be top of the line) brand with a reasonable price tag (in other words if it cost $200+.. forget it).
Name me some brands please, and where I can get them
(Did someone say ComputerMedic may be able to supply?? :p)

365567 2005-06-20 22:47:00 Oh yeah ... and would prefer a reasonably quiet one... am sick of the jet airliner I have Myth (110)
365568 2005-06-20 23:48:00 One of these (www.coolergiant.com) from your local shop, they cost around $100 maybe a little more, they are very quiet. Rob99 (151)
365569 2005-06-20 23:54:00 I needed a supply in a hurry a while back, so bought one of these at the local DSE:

www.dse.co.nz

Its very quiet, and I opened it up and checked the quality of assembly etc. Its very well made. Interestingly it weighed about 1/3 more than an el-cheapo that it was replacing, which suggests that its likely to be better engineered.

No clue as to who actually makes it though.

365570 2005-06-21 02:29:00 Enermax, as the first suggestion shows. There are variuos models, a lot over $200. But some under that, you don't need a huge wattage.

They are the best quality.
