Just got my Antec true430 watt ps today!! Can't wait to hook it up! Antec has a good quality presentation with there box/mans/packaging. Smells great also:D Was going to go with the Vantec Stealth 520 but had heard some noisy things about it. This Antec is a beaut!!
 
Great power supply. Runs like a beauty and is nice and quiet (for those that want quiet unlike me). Voltage rails have been very stable throughout my overclock.
 
yeah I had a true 430 probably will buy another, but just a warning with this PS. Its overload protection curcuitry sucks. Most power supplies if they detect an abnormal load will shut down. So if you have a short somewhere in your system you won't cook anything. The Antec while in most respects is a good PSU, I've found if you have a short anywhere in your connections will pop the power supply. Not a pleasent experience with a 80-100 supply. BTW this is the only supply I've seen fail this way.

Just a warning to you all make sure you have no flaky componets, and don't over load this PSU or it will fail. BTW I did buy it refurbed from Newegg.
 
Cool. Good luck to ya. I like Antec as a power supply manufacture. Their PP 400watt series are solid and TruePower too.
 
Rottenspam, did that TruePower have any current sensing resistors in the output circuitry? I have a 300W SmartPower, and I couldn't find any there, but there's something on the primary side to sense the current going into the high voltage transistors.
I don't know about Fortrons, but the Deltas have current sensing in both the high and low voltage sections.
