I was looking on newegg this morning and a few caught my eye.

I'd rather not spend more than $50-$60 and I'm leaning towards the Rosewill 450W mainly due to the high rating and good "amps per volts"(right term?). The 500W also looks pretty good, not sure whether I should get that instead of the 450 for more power. What do you guys recommend, and do you have any other suggestions?

is it for the box in your sig? how many drives do you have in there? full specs are always good to know when picking out a power supply

do yourself a favor and get a powerstream [not modstream] 520, it will be well worth it in the long run. long run as in the next year or cpl of years, you pay for good, clean, power along with good warranty which u wont use anyway. just spend the extra $60, trust me, i did the same about 3 months ago, now im VERY pleased and happy

I got a CD-RW, DVD-RW, floppy, 120GB HD(prob going to buy a 160GB in a month or so), 9500 Pro + VGA Silencer and about 6 fans. I'm switching to a A64 system and an X800 or comparable in about a year, and I'd like to keep my PSU.
