I would like this PSU to be over 500W and to be a SINGLE 12V rail. Which of these two would you prefer? And if you have any other choices please tell.

Thanx for your time in advance.

You can order the PCP&C Silencer 610 directly from PCP&C:

http://www.pcpowercooling.com/prod [...] view=about = $119 + whatever shipping is.


The Corsair 550VX is cheaper at ZipZoomFly

CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W = $63.90 after $20 rebate. Also no shipping charges. Newegg.com charges another $8 - $9 for shipping.

The Silencer 610 is the better PSU, but he Corsair VX can definitely hold it's own. So I guess I would choose the Cosair VX (from ZipZoomfly).
