|  PSU Suggestions I am considering upgrading my Main PC Power supply to a superior one that is future proof and able to handle greater loads like newer vid cards. The one I have now is ok and functional. I got it on a great deal and want it as a backup for several other machines I have in the event they blow their PSU. I really want an efficient PSU between 550 Watts and 750 Watts ... preferably in the 600 Watt range ... however I want all the internals to be top flight parts ... 105C capacitors etc etc. I also prefer Modular just because it is nice. Must be a Newegg purchase since I have a $25 credit there. It also must be a killer deal ... as ... well that is my habit and I feel better. I used their power search and here are a few that seem ok ... If I have overlooked something especially unique and of high grade build ... let me know. Oh ... I also would like to keep it below $125 before my $25 in store credit. I'll spend more if it is worth the extra. FSP Group FX700-GLN ATX12V V2.2/EPS12V 700W Power Supply Not modular tho. Mushkin 550250 ATX12V / EPS12V 580W Power Supply Nice ... but I am not sure if the internal components are top flight. It is Modular. ABS Tagan BZ Series BZ700 ATX12V / EPS12V 700W Sweet as Kandy ... just a tad over budget ... I think I recall a review that drooled over this one and stated great internals ... Comments?

| Re: PSU Suggestions Yeah I have been eyeballing that one for 6 mos now ... past a few great deals up on it.

| Re: PSU Suggestions Yeah ... those Silverstone are nice ... but their prices ... well they are proud of them. Do they have all top spec internals?

| Re: PSU Suggestions Looking at this PSU but need input ... OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS There is an additional $10 OFF code for this ... with the $25 off ... it will come to $43 shipped ... Not sure if the 600 Watts 18Amps per 4 rails and active PFC 80% certified ... will be enough to power an 8800GT or [9400GT] well enough Any review links? Experiences with 18A rails? The price is a killer deal ... it is superior to what I have ... I know it will run an 8800GT ... but I don't know much about the internals and if it is just a marginal choice that has no headroom beyond an 8800GT and full system load. Suggestions? Comments? Reviews? Links? Main: 3ghzQ6600, Gemini2, IP35 Pro, PC 610W PSU, 4GB 6400, XP Pro, 500GB raid 0, 22" + (2)19" WS LCD's w/ Palit 9600 GT and Dual Core Notebook.
