What is the best PSU for under $100?

damarble · 04-26-05, 11:46 PM

Let's please hear some opinions. The rig this is for is the one in my sig, but it will have 2 DVD drives, another HD, and WC. I will run the CPU @3.6 until I can afford a better P4.

Thanks keep em coming.

Definately one of the FSP units. Either the 530w or the AX500-A.

firebat45 · 04-27-05, 01:37 AM

just to be different, ill recommend a OCZ modstream or powerstream 520 watt.

fldrice · 04-27-05, 02:01 AM

Fortron AX500 or FSP550-60PLG/PLN.

How could you go wrong with this model? Also the 550W is a monster, When I say it's a monster, it really is

damarble · 04-27-05, 02:47 PM

The Fortron 530 is then. Thanks!

d94 · 04-27-05, 02:53 PM

Too late, already ordered the 530. It is the right price, too.

Adrayic · 04-27-05, 03:51 PM

That should serve you well too

Can't go wrong w/ Fortron.
