Hello everyone

I'm building a new PC. and I have about 2 days left before ordering my parts. Right now, I have the option of Antec Earthwatts 380W (Tier 2: thanks nvalhalla!), but I'm looking for 420 Watts + for some more room...

I am wondering if any of you know of any deals on power supplies? (420+ Watts // Tier Level 2)
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forum [...] p?t=108088

ideal price range around $40...

You haven't stated your location so its kind of difficult to point you in the direction of a good deal.

380w, so a little lower, but it's enough for any single GPU system. It's not on the "list", but it is made by Seasonic and is regarded as being Tier 2. A good deal at $30 after rebate

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817103939

Here's the Neo power modular PSU. Same quality, on the Tier 2 list, just modular. A good deal at $40 with the rebate

You can usually find Corsair's 450w around the web for ~$60, so if you find it less somewhere else that would be a great deal too.

Antec Earthwatts 430, XClio Greatpower, Antec NeoHE/Neo Power, and a number of FSPs are the least expensive T2 PSUs.

Thanks Nvalhalla.. but the Neo power seems to have really bad reviews...

Here's a hell of a deal that just started today (should go quickly):

Antec Neo Power 500 500W ATX12V Power Supply - $75 w/ free shipping
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817103940

Shadow, please read, he's asking for a MODULAR PSU, the VX is not.
OP, I would ignore the Newegg reviews, many of them are unfounded, besides, Antec has excellent customer service and long warantees that cover nearly everything.
