    I'VE HEARD IT'S NOT BAD

    caps lock... caps lock... caps lock... caps lock... caps lock... caps lock... caps lock... caps lock...

    Etc, etc

    Seriously it's had good reviews but is fairly expensive. I've heard a lot of good things about CWT (channel well) PSUs recently and Scan have them quite cheap. No personal experience of them (yet) though so keep asking / looking around if you don't want to risk.

    I wouldn't say they were expensive... certainly alot cheaper than Antecs, and I always hear just as many good things about thermaltake psus as I do Antecs.

    Actually just re-checked the price and they're not expensive at all anymore... ?!? Last time I checked their 400W+ PSUs they were more like £80-90 not £55!

    Are they still the same spec?

    I'm using a ThermalTake 420W unit in my gaming rig. It seems to perform quite well.

    mal , no , they were NEVer expensive, £55 at dabs for about 2 months now(though stock is hard to come by, looking at various shops and "out of stock" signs everywhere). The 430W have been £40-42 for ages, and the 360's even cheaper.

    TBH, the main diff i have found between antec and thermaltake is teh warranty(well i'm assuming at the price there ain't no three year warranty , but i could be wrong). Nothing that i've tried, no overclocking, no anything ahs shown a diff between antec and thermaltake psu's.
