Hi to everybody,
I was wondering to ask your opinion on Raidmax 500/400 Watt Aluminum Power Supply

http://www.heatsinkstore.com/raid500watal.html

Is it worth buying?

Thank you very much.

seems pretty good, though i would look into an equally priced 420W enermax PSU, which will give you more amperage (and therefore wattage) on the 12V rail (which your optical devices, hard drive(s), fans, lighting run off of) instead of a whopping 50Amps on the 5V+ rail (kind of useless if you ask me)

Whay do you wnat so much power? Not to mention the cost.

I am using an Enlight 420W PSU. (It seems that prices on PSU's has been going up. I got mine for a lot less. Reguardless, the Enlight EN-8420934 has 40A on +5V, 30A on +3.3V, and 18A on the +12V. <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=58&manufactory=1231&DEPA=1&sortby=14&order=1" target="_new">NewEgg has it for $51.00 and $0.00 for shipping.</A>


If you have money burning a hole in your pocket get that plus some toys instead of an Antec or Enermax. Now this is unless you NEED a ton of amperes and watts. (Most people don't...This was put in for Svol.)
