it is? that's news to me. The antec has a 3% regulation, while the enermax has 5%, go for antec or sparkle

Agreed. While the rated tolerance doesn't really mean a whole lot in reality the output of the 350W Enermax is much lower than either the SL350/SmartBlue 350 or the Sparkle 350W. At only 180W 3.3+5V the Enermax is a lightweight.

The Antec will give you very steady rails talking from experience.

I have an Antec true power and an enermax (forgot which model). I prefer the Antec, but they are both good.

SmartBlue 350 is a Solution Series Power supply so it has standard ATX regulation (5%).

I haven’t been around here to long, but I have been around long enough to notice that Enermax doesn’t have a lot of strong advocats in this forum. Must be for a reason... Besides it sounds like from your original post, you might find it cool to have glowing powersupply.

I'd go with the Antec. Antec has always been a better brand over Enermax. I had an Enermax 431 and it was horrible. 4.76v under load and fluctuation which led to instablity. My 5v now with an Antec 400watt PP412X is 5v steady.
