Hi guys,

#1

Which of these 2 PSUs you think/know is the best option:

Antec TruePower True430

or

Thermaltake W0010 Xaser Silent Purepower 480W

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Prod [...] ode=370423

RIght now I'm using a 360w max Chieftec that is more than enough for my current needs, but I'm moving it to a diff. system. I was also considering the 350 fortron aurora but I've come accross some reviews saying the 12v is a bit weak. If you have other suggestions please let me know. right now I'm inclined to go with the thermaltake.

I'd like to buy 3 fans for my case. They don't have to be anything special other than not being too noisy. What's my best option? I don't fancy paying $4 to ship each fan.

Here is my fav place to shop. Spent over 10K here and NEVER had an issue.

Save about $10 on them too. Honestly you can't go wrong with either.

well i have to say i like the xaser psu a bit more becuase of its fan speed controllers and the sata power connectors. i have had no problems with it and its very reliable.

Yep! You will require no adapter with SATA power connectors. Of chourse if you use SATA hard-disks. I couldn't agree more.

Thanks everybody. Actually everything but the mobo in my pc was bought from newegg but now they decided my cc was international so I can't shop there anymore. It figures...

I just built my PC and I went with the Thermaltake W0010 and it's a really nice PSU. The PFC is really nice to have but I will warn you it does get a bit noisy when you crack it up :) Other than that it really looks nice in a case with a window like my Lanfire.
