New Power Supply

[mobiker]

I was going to get a new P/S thought I would get some opinions I'm looking at the

Antec True 480

or

Vantec Van470A

any opinions or other suggestions they are both about the same price at newegg
I just want a good P/S with out going broke haha I will be running:

nforce2 m/b
2800 barton
1 gig ram
9800 pro
2+ hard drives
cdr & dvd
6 case fans
tower is like the Alienware case (lots of room):)

The Antec gets my vote. I've heard good things about the Vantec too though. 470-480W might be overkill, but it's your money :D

Might be overkill but 430 Antec is only $13 dollars cheaper I could spend a lot more than that at the pub.

lol, good point :D Go for it, the TruePowers are great and exceptionally quiet to boot.

I got the Vantec-super uber quiet that thing is. The 400watter is the one I grabbed. Do yourself a favour-look at the features. Vantec is new to this arena and reviews arent to commen. BUT once you see how many safty features Vantec has to protect your investment and how few antec has you might change your mind. I did. But thats just me. Like, will the Antec power down if a wire gets nicked by case and shorts? Vantec does! Will antec garuntee you the psu will never flame-smoke excesivly-burn pcb or explode under catastrophic failure? Vantec does. How about auto shutdwon when too hot. Vantec again does. Vantec also has the commen variable speed fan feature aswell. Low medium and auto fan speed settings for the duel fans inside. Also note that Vantec's 400watt can handle 500watts for 60sec. That for the higher power needed at boot. To much power drawn (IE overloaded psu) it shuts down. I payed $64 shipped for Vantec ION 400watt. Antec would have been much more with less features. Both are very stable psu's I just liked all the extra protection in Vantec units. THey are the answer to Tom's H fits on psu's. Like 400watts able to supply 500watts not 400 max. THis psu is right on the $.:t
