Are there any advantages of one brand (Enermax, Antek, Sparkle, etc.) over another? I'm planning to upgrade to a 350w or 400w in the near future and don't know how to tell the difference between what is OK and better. Any insight will be appreciated.

I' ve got a Antec 350W
It' s 2.03 and P4 compliant and was only $50
its also got a 92mm on top and 80mm in back
which I think looks cool:)

Pc power and cooling probably make the best power supplies but they are also expensive. I have an Antec 400 watt and it just replaced a L & C 300 watt. My system is much more stable with the Antec in it.
