I've read a few reviews on the Enermax and everyone seems to rate them the best. The measurement of the output, the quietness, the quality and length of the cabeling all seem to measure up. Go to http://www.thetechzone.com/reviews [...] ndex.shtml
and
http://www.thetechzone.com/reviews [...] ndex.shtml
and

for reviews. Find the deals at PriceWatch.com. I've found the service at http://www.kdcomputers.com/ to be pretty good. They don't have the new 450 watt FC's yet, but they have the regular VE's and the 350 watt FC's.

Take a look at how much space you have in your case before buying the Enermax. The cables are pretty long. Check out the the review at http://www.mikhailtech.com/articles/enermax330.shtml. It shows a few shots of how long they are. If you have a full tower, the Enermax might be a good idea. I really like their features. I decided to order a Sparkle PS since I don't need those long cables in my Mid-Tower. I ordered from www.phamcomputer.com. They responded very quickly to all of my inquiries and charge only $4 for shipping. Good luck

I personally think Sparkle makes the best PS's.
