hey guys,
I just got a new computer, but I need a case with PSU. Firstly, I need a PSUover 500w for under 60 quid, and I need a good csase with good airflow for the same, so altogther I wnat a case with PSU for 70 quid or under, can someone help me pelas?
thanks
Wait until the end of the week ;)
so lets see cheapo case = £30 chepo 500 watt power supply (cheapest I've found was £60) so your 20 over budget and thats with rubbish.
If you want quality, you have to spend the cash, or win it in a hexus comp
Well I can spend a bit over, theres a antec slk3000 for 30 which looks wquite good and a Hiper power supply for around 65, are hiper good?
Hiper are ok, I use their standard range 525W PSU but you will have to splash the cash to get a PSU worth its salt - and as the whole system depends on it you should contemplate this if possible as it is the heart of any PC.
I highly doubt you'll need 500Watts, I'd even doubt you'd push a real 400Watt PSU, you need to think about your power reqirements logically, if you're not sure, post a list of your system components here and the nice folks will help you out with your best options.. if you spend a bit more you'll get a far more efficent PSU and you wont need a 1Kw PSU.. Cheap PSU are notorious for wasting energy. I only buy Tagen PSU's out of principle.
Hey guys,
I bought a nice cheapo case with a side window and some fans so thats sorted :D. It came with a 350w PSU, so when I get my new 6800gt I will have to upgrade it to better. Guys, what do oyu reccomend? My specs are:
Asus A8N SLi deluxe
1gb RAM
getting 6800gt and another next year
The XG Viper Gaming case come with a 500w PSU. I might not be the look everyones gonna go for but I'm considering it.
The toal price is £67.49 with a bit left for P&P.
You can find it here.
Hope this helps.

Tagan TG480-U22 480W ATX2.01 2Force SLi Compliant Silent PSU
That would give you more than enough juice to power your machine, £64 on overclockers.co.uk for a quick quote, although you should shop around to find cheaper.
Tagan.. Tagan and More Tagan love..
*lubz on his Tagen* :iloveyou:
PCUser21 - where did you get the case from? And which one/etc. :-)
I know you are probably not looking for a case now, but I've just discovered the Silentium range from Arctic Cooling, and they look good, and have a 350W Seatronic PSU. Scan only has the T1, but there are others around.
I got it from a computer fair for 17 quid :rockon: It is very good build quality and has very good cooling. I'm getting the X800GTO tommorow, so I will have to change my PSU sometimeQuote:
