Gautam said:If you want the highest of quality and value, look no further than a 350w Fortron unit. Its only $32 and I can nearly guarantee that it will have way better rails than either a Thermaltake, or even an Antec.
Gautam said:I know you had a rather bad experience with Fortron, Hitechjb1, but most seem to have excellent 12v rails.
OT from this particular thread, but does this mean that some AMD Motherboards derive core voltage from 12v and others from 5v? And is the NF7 the only one that does?

Gautam said:$27...can't argue with the results in my sig. Although I don't a Radeon 9800 or anything and this may be a high source for power draw.
glock19owner said:Thermaltake 420w w/active PFC...you will need to active PFC becuase that 8RDA+ is a serious power hog...
Non-PFC offers around 0.5~0.6 PF (Power Frequency), 40%~50% power lost.
Active PFC provides more efficient PF(Power Frequency), 0.95~0.99, it means only 1%~5% power has gone.
