Simple question:

Are the Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W (W0019+PFC) any good? It has active PFC which I'm not sure how much it actually helps when using with powersupplies in a computer. I'm just wondering if I should buy this one or just drop another $20 and get the Antec true480...

Another option is of course Sparkle (or any other forton based psu). I've had a sparkle 350w unit before, and it still works great in an older system. The only complaint I ever had against them was the significantly loud fan that came with it.

The thing I like best about the Tt unit though are sleeved wires and black housing, it would certainly add a nice touch to a windowed black case...
