    Recommend me a 400W PSU

    Ok, I've been needing a nice new, quiet, good performing 400W PSU for some time, at the moment I'm running some cheap and nasty 350W on 3 200GB HDD's 6600GT and a 3000AMD, I think I need a little more power just in case and the PSU isn't at all efficient, I would prefer modular but isn't essential.

    If you could recommend a couple I'll read some reviews and make my choice.

    Its modular although I would reccomend sleeving the cables just to keep it tidy. Built a few systems with this and it is quiet. Just a note, the X-Clio's continue to run when you power off as there is a thermal control to keep the fan running until component temps have dropped to a specific level. The X-Clios have been passed for SLi. Check SLi Zone.

    Missed that one whilst browsing the Today Only. A good one.

    Also consider the Seasonic 430. Scan have it in stock I believe.
