Oh and the links are just for the pics, I have the Ultra already , and if i go with the other i'll shop around a bit * and sell the ultra*

The first one looks sweet with the controls and the LCD, but so does the 2nd one...hmmm

Id go with the 2nd one (ultra one)

THRASHER2 · 16-October-05, 11:10 PM

I vote for Option# 1 with Custom Sleeving......

Seikatsu · 16-October-05, 11:16 PM

I'd say either Thrasher's suggestion or this.

BigAkita · 16-October-05, 11:21 PM

Neither. If you want to get serious, look at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817711002

Hmm...

It looks like it all comes down to application. The SinteK one is sweet and if you're gonna have an SLi setup and plan on overclocking and whatnot, then that'll be your ideal choice. On the other hand, I have an Ultra power supply like that one at 500W also and it hasn't given me one problem yet for the year and a half that I've had it. If it were me I'd stick with the Ultra 500W man!

BTW- BA, how much RMS wattage is that OCZ gonna put out? the ultra 500W will actually put out 500W continuously(at least that's what it says).

I don't know much about the Sintek, but I've read some good reviews on it and Thrasher's pick looks gret as well....but I can say this:

I've got an Ultra 500W in Titanium which has been a solid performer. BUT, I didn't spend $109 bucks on it!
The unit cost me $30 (brand new - NOT refurbished) at TigerDirect's eBay outlet. My friend got one there at the same price as well....for $30 bucks you can't beat it with a stick and the Titanium finish was flawless.

Seikatsu · 18-October-05, 10:17 PM

I'd advise against corruptjoker's picks when it comes to overclocking,
(or anything current-gen, for that matter)

The 12v lines on those two Antec PSUs (One is rated for 16 amps [each of the three lines] and the other pushes 15 and 18 amps respectively) are insufficient for sure overclocking
(You need at least 18 amps per individual 12v line.[ read 200w,
{and you'd be far better off with 20 amps per line or 240w}],
to make sure stability is kept under even adverse conditions)
