in the market for new power supply


after working on my pc recently i noticed that one of the fans are dying in it. so im in the market for a new one. its just some cheapo brand echo star, so im thinking that most anything would be an improvement. im looking at hopefully getting a modular power supply so i can use only what wires i need. i will be running a WD Raptor, a 500gb sata drive, a x1950 pro (or whatever is top of the line in that series, AGP), for sure another dvd burner (ide) or even some sata optical drives. im looking to spend no more than 200 bucks. any suggestions would be great. thanks in advance. have a good one!

This model has at least one revision since that review was done. It's about as nice a quality modular as you will find, a Seasonic build OEM and less than half what you want to spend. Life is good!

There are two kinds of people, those who do the work, and those who take the credit.
Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.

^Second that recommendation, and adding another one for the Corsair 620HX, which can be had for a bit more than the 520HX
