These are the components.....

A64 32000+ at Stock speed
2x 200gb Hard drives
4 Fans
$300 version of the 6800 or X800

I would really like to use this PSU inside the case since it lights up blue and I want a flashy case.....

I would like some opinions on how efficent this PSU is with the components listed above. Keep in mind that this rig will always be running at stock speeds. Thanks

It wouldn't be the PSU I'd choose, but it should be ok as long as it's not overclocked. IIRC these are Topower and should hold up as long as they're not too strained, but not sure it's one of their better designs or not. The Aerocool 550w with the fancy windows is a better Topower unit IMO, and closer to the ones Tagan uses, but it looks like xoxide doesn't carry it.

I'd give the Aspire a chance, but keep a close eye on it for a while to be sure all is good.

Edit - I take that back, they do have the Aerocool: http://www.xoxide.com/aeropower.html

its decent, should preform about the same as a 350 - 400 w fortron, if your not OCing it hsould be fine for you.
