i m going to use as "dedicated" PC based DVR CCTV and i m asking which PSU would be more efficient, reliable, and quieter. tnx

this is my pc specs:

Asrock g41c-gs socket 775
Pentium D 920 w/ coolermaster T2 blizzard HSF <---- is this enough to reduce the heat and noise of my processor
2 gb kingston memory
MSI 5450 graphic Card
2 HDD 7200 rpm
windows XP
Geovision PCI DVR 8 channel ( only 6 channel will be used: 2 ip cam and 4 analog)
PSU=???


and here is the PSU available in a nearby store:

ENERMAX TOMAHAWK II NAXN 500W
CORSAIR VS450 450W
ANTEC VP450P 450W

lastly
SEASONIC S12II-520 520W 80+BRONZE (cost almost twice of corsair and enermax)
 


Hi - as jnkweaver said - go with the Seasonic if you can afford to.

The other 3 are budget/entry level. The S12II is a step up.
Enermax is an OEM & makes some fine units, but the NAXN they contract out.
