vaporATX Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 around how much should i pay for it? First figure out what size you need for your application and add some wattage for growth if you feel you need it. This will help: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp Next buy a supply from a quality company. Sparkle Power/FSP, Enermax, PC Power & Cooling, Delta Electronics. All the consumer grade supplies with all the wiz-bang lights and colors that claim to do everything but wipe you ass for you are total rip-offs and total garbage. You're paying for the glitz and not quality electronic components. Lots of folks will probably disagree with me and claim their super duper nuclear 10000 gigawatt green lucite monster with the 1000000 candlewatt leds and glow in the dark modular cables is the best in the world and worth the $300 they paid for it. They're idiots, believe me. Why should you listen to me? You shouldn't. Do your own research, learn to read specs, ask serious overclockers because they want the maximum in stable power. But don't just listen to me just because I happen to know exactly what I'm talking about.
