Just ordered a whole bunch of new parts and wanted to know if anyone has an opinion on this PSU or even better owns one.

this is the system i am putting together.

Athlon x2 4200+
2GB (2x1GB) Corsair pc3200 XMS 3200C2
74GB Raptor and 250GB WD SATA drives.
Ati X1800XL All in wonder.
DFI Ultra-D
DVD-rom and DVDwriter.
Creative X-fi- extreme music.
Thermaltake tsunami case.

I seem to find mixed user reviews all over the net. the only real review i found gave it a good rating. any help is greatly appreciated.

Raidmaxes made by Topower are of adequate but not outstanding quality, while others are by Leadman and have very poor. Pengwin is right about the 480W Antec being better, and it canl probably handle higher loads than a 580W Raidmax, despite its lower rating. Another very good make is Fortron, which may be cheaper than Antec.
