well they have the antec 550 true power for a 100bones, Chrome says its the best. Antec has a good rep, so thats a good buy. Another one is Nosietaker, they make good PSU's

I've got an antec true blue 480 that i kinda ****ed up. My fault. One set of wires aint putting out full voltage. (hevent hooked the meter up to see what is really doin). Other than that I loved it. Just got in my Aspire 500w today. Got to change out the ugly ass green sleeving and then I'll hook it up. Its quite a bit cheaper than the antec, lets hope the quality is as good.

I looked into the Antec True Blue (the one with the blue LED fans, not the True430, etc) on newegg a while back. Out of 39 reviews, 4 said theirs one day died with a BANG, in some cases taking the mobo/cpu with it. One or two may be a freak thing or user error, but four? It was enough to make me keep looking... Anyone had experience with it?
