It seems like I´m not getting the Qtec 550 w, the supplier keeps changing the date of delivey.

What other options do I have to run this one:

Asus A7M266D
Dual XP1700 /w Titan D5T cpu cooler
2 x 512 Mb Crucial ECC/REG
3 x 7200 rpm HDD´s
CD/RW
DVD
ATI radeon 8500LE
WinTV PCI
Adaptec 2940 SCSI PCI
Highpoint rocket133s PCI
CNET 10/100 PCI
Lian-Li PC71 /w 4 case fans

Now is a 550w PSU overkill for this, will a 400w do? Should I go get a Enermax 550w instead? There two models available here: one with fan control. The cost $150 vs $170. Hua lotsa a money, is it worth it

regards,
Henry

The Antec or Sparkle may be good choices as well. My Antec never drops volts.

I just convinced Shmall to get the Antec True Power 4870W PSU.

Check out his thread, I posted it's specs and my voltages:

I did cancel the order bacause I want my new rig to work NOW. I ordered an Enermax 550W with Fan Control instead, cost me three times as much but it should be a safe deal. I was looking at the Antec TruePower 550 as well, but it has lower power rating and only cost $10 less than the Enermax(over here that is).
