which power supply for the price..

[bkny1055]

I am in need of a better power supply, I have read some post and I am getting concerned and don’t want to loose my system to a bad power supply so I am getting a new one so here are my choices. I am looking for best performer, or would someone recommend a power supply with SATA power connecters and if so what should I get

1 CDRW
2 SATA Drives
5 80MM Case Fans

Enermax PEG465P-VE(FC) 431W $75.00 shipped
or

Antec True430 430Watt $72.00 shipped

See my Rig on the bottom need to get better power supply
Which has better performance?
Which has better warranty?
If you know of others please let me know but they need great warranty

Thanks

i have practically the same setup as you

and im fine with a sparkle 400watt

it was like 60 something dollars i believe



but if your set on one of those 2, get the antec-- ive heard nothing but good things about them

From users and reviews, I believe the Antec True 430 is probably a better supply than the Enermax 465...

And for $75 you can also get the Fortron 530 which holds it's own very well against the antec true 550...

however, i don't know if any of those carry SATA connectors...

The Antec tp series has a 3 year warranty...but if i got an antec, i personally would get at least the 480 for $85....or the 550 from directron for $94...

I would go with the Antec true power.

[bkny1055]

do anyone of you know if the AntecTP failes and fries something do they cover it?

[gingo]

hehe, I hope so...

Anyway, I have an Antec 430 Watt True and I dont notice SATA power connectors?

I've heard rumours of them now coming with SATA connectors, but don't quote me on it.

Channel Well, who makes the Trues, does market them under thier own name with SATA connectors, but I don't have mine yet so again, don't quote me on that ;)

Antec , hands down. Performance and customer service, cant beat that one!!!Yes the new ones come with SATA power connectors, The one in my case right now has two.

[Deathknight]

Of those 2 I would most definatly go with the antec. While not horrid I don't think that enermax deserves the quality reputation that alot of people give to it. If you are looking for bang for the buck though look no further than fortron/sparkle.

[AntecRep]

The current batch of TP's come with 2 SATA power connectors. However there are probably some on shelves somewhere without the SATA connectors.
