I'd "fork" over for a PC Power & Cooling. Truly a PSU you can buy knowing
it'll last. It's not the quietest, but I haven't seen a PSU that is quiet
that would outlast a PC P&C.

Get a Fortron/Sparkle from Directron.com or Newegg.com because they're
very good supplies and are bargains, with 350W models costing less
than $40. A 350W top quality supply is all you'll almost ever need
for CPUs almost up to 3.0 GHz, and 400W certainly is, unless you're
running a very large number of drives.

While PC Power & Cooling is very good and warranted for 5 years, you
can often buy 2 Fortrons/Sparkles for the same price, and many of
their products are based on them (most others are Zippys), as are
Zalmans and some other ultra-quiets. There's nothing in a PC P&C
product that makes it more reliable or longer lasting than any other
high quality supply.

PCP&C, F/S, Antec (Truepower), HEC/Heroichi, and Enermax are all fine,
as are the less famous brands sold mostly to large OEMs, such as
Lite-On, Delta, Zippy, and Channelwell ("A" suffix Channelwells are
Antec Truepowers).

Why will CPUs need inferior quality power? Is there such a thing as
power that's too well regulated and that contains too little noise?

$40 for a top quality PSU? Are you informed by facts or just repeating
what a 13 year old posted somewhere? Thats like saying a big mac is as
good as a fine resturant meal.

I'd guess a large % of problems posted here are a result of POOR PSUs
that are misslabled or have poor quality parts and have deterioated
with time. Mainly sold by price not quality.

You are obviously full of NON facts. Try weighting a PC Power &
Cooling unit against a $40 unit. Remember: Most of the time YOU GET
WHAT PAY FOR, or BUY CHEAP, GET CHEAP!
