I've narrowed down my search to two well priced power supplies. I will be upgrading my system as of next month, but for now the specs follow...
my system specs on my PC now are as follows.....
-Intel Pentium D805 (Upgrading to a E6600 Core 2 Duo next month)
-AsRock DualVSTA-775 mobo (Upgrading to Asus P5B next month)
-Seagate 80gb ATA HD (Upgrading to 320gb SATA next month)
-EVGA 256mb GDDR3 7800gt OC_PCI-Express
-Corsair 1gb DDR2-667mhz dual channel ram
and the 2 power supplies I've narrowed down are these...
Antec TruePower 550watt
and this one ThermalTake TR 550watt
now the one difference I notice between the two is that the Antec is newer and has the newest ATX12V v2.2 standards... and it also has triple 12v rails that have a total output of 504watts which is good I guess :?:
the ThermalTake has the v2.0 standard and its a little older, and it only has dual 12v rail output compared to three from Antec... and I couldnt find specific info from their website about what the max output of those 12v rails was....
so if anyone knows this a bit better than me.... then please advise me on which one you would pick and why...
and yea I know the thermaltake looks a loooot nicer than the Antec.. but I really dont care, cuz theyre both gonna be stuck inside my case, and I keep my case under my desk..
thanks for any input or advice ...
