thanks
I'd immediately discount the Silverstone because the ATX harness is modular and this is the one set of cables you DO need. Modular cables mean increased electrical resistance and yyou may potentially suffer some voltage drop. Now having a decent PSU will go some way to alleviate that but the last thing you'd want to do is cripple your entire system out of the box by having a detachable ATX harness. It's also one more point of failure, one more electrical connection to come loose or oxidise. I don't know anything about the Enermax but they've been a name to conjure with for many years now and are always reliable, well-made supplies (maybe not the quietest but always well-made) and the captive ATX harness is enough for me :)
Tagan EasyCon 580 ;)
Nooooooooo ENERMAX!
im on a one man crusade to destroy that company..... basically my noisetaker is utterly utterly terrible, avoid enermax.
It just doesnt have the grunt you would expect (sometimes fails to start PC at all) rails are all over the show and it strangles my 3400 by constantly dipping and increasing its voltage.
yeh nice job enermax :rant:
thanks for the replies
damn i still dont know what to get, i just recently bought a psu for £95.00 but wanna get rid of it becuase its so noisy. maybe i'll get the silverstone 600w im just looking for something thats quiet.
Get the Seasonic 600W then. Totally quiet, totally trustworthy, totally power (hey they should employ me as a copywriter - not). :devilish:

Never heard a bad word about them.
Seasonic are like Rolls Royce its style is abit old fashioned but you cant doubt its class
Hiper are the flash sports cars of the PSU world, their modulars are so damn sexy.
now if the SIlverstone PSU is as good as its cases then its gonna be Class like the seasonic and Blingy like the Hiper.
infact Rodney renolds (3dgameman) gave the Silverstone a 100% kickass score, while only giving the Hiper a normal Kickass score.
I think the seasonic is too upper class to be seen near kickass
Seasonic all the way go www.siletpcreview.com and see for yourself. THe Enermax sounds like a jet engine going off, the seasonic are the best of the best right now.
so that puts the enermax and the tagan out of the picture, i got to choose between the silverstone or the seasonic, its a tough one!!!
thanks for the replies guys i should make my mind up this week (hopefully)
