SeaSonic, AeroCool, or ?

I'm trying to decide between:

- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817151021

This is for a home office PC (Web, photoshop, some programming) that occasionally does some gaming (Warcraft). I'd be putting an AMD 3200+, 1gb of RAM, a 200 GB WD drive and a pair of CD/DVD drives. Looking for quiet and stable.

Thanks!

My Vantec Ion2 is very quiet and extremely stable.

If you want quiet and stable, Seasonic is definitely the wat to go. 80Plus certified efficiency on the entire S-12 series is also a big benefit.

You might want to consider moving up to the S12-380 (at $77) or even the S12-430 (at $99) though to give you some future flexibility.

Don't even consider Aerocool. They're not even close to Seasonic in all respects. Especially since they're so overpriced for a 4th or 5th tier manufacturer/reseller.

What!!!! No Fortron??

I picked the Vantec Ion2 because it has the best cooling to noise ratio of any power supply I've tested, and he's looking for something that's very quiet. Sorry to disappoint you.

my seasonic is practically silent, at that efficiency and stability of voltage rails... unbeatable

Not disappointed. Just used to you posting about Fortron.

I vote for Seasonic 600W S12. I was searching for a PSU followed the Stress test, and Seasonic S12 was the top choice.
