    I know you mean FSP

    FSP psu's are also good but not as quiet as Seasonic IMO.

    Ahhh but this was not one of their (FSP) premium Blue Sparkle thingies, it was one of their cheapie OEM types - different kettle of fish... if it is as good, it would not be half the price, so as the Seasonic was only a couple of quid more then a quality FSP, and I have Seasonic in other machines, I decided to stick with them.

    Just as I only buy Corsair RAM......

    In the past I've bought

    1 brand new FSP std 300W
    1 second hand (ebay) FSP std 300w
    1 brand new Blue Sparkle 350

    I was least impressed with the Blue Sparkle cos it had the shortest cables. The Main ATX only reached because of the 24 to 20 pin adaptor!

    I would have chosen the Seasonic as well. Have an older Tornado 400W modded with quieter fan in my Eclipse.
