I'd like to buy a new PSU for my PC. And I'm wondering which one is the best between an Antec True Power 480W and the Fortron FSP460-60PFNA (460W).
I know that Antec as a very good reputation but as I'm going to need a 1 fan psu only (due to the PC case that I have -> the 2nd fan gets obstructed) I was wondering if 1 fan was enough to efficiently cool a PSU ?
Also, I would like to know if this Fortron PSU has a good Power/Silence/Price ratio (I'm afraid that with one fan only, this PSU might get too loud?!?!?).
Any comments are welcome.

I think the power supply you're refering to is a server version with a 24-pin ATX power connector instead of the standard 20-pin!

I suggest the FSP400-60PFN, it puts out under 20W less than the 480W True Power supply, has Fortron quality and price, etc.

BTW, I can modify a Fortron 530W with the second fan on the bottom if you like :)
