Will it beat the 433Watt Enermax? Bearing in mind I have the EPOX.....

Power breakdown. +3.3v - 40A, +5v - 45A, +12v - 28A, -5v - 1A, -12v - 1A and here's a link: http://www.overclock.co.uk/moreinfo.php?id=362

So you got your own fan-club, huh?

I saw something the other day that might be just in your taste. It looked just like a standard 80mm fan, but it was something like 200mm, made out of solid metal and ran on 220 volts. Brand: Papst. Can´t tell how much air it moved but it felt like a lot when I held it in my hand. It made a lot of noise too.

regards,
Henry.

Enhance is made by the same people as Enermax - in my personal opinion a complete POS. Try a Sparkle PSU - very, very Robust.

I've got a DEEP 400W I picked up in Rotterdam about six months ago - best PSU I've ever used - powers a Dual Athlon MP System with GF3 Ti500 easily.

I have DEEP PSU Nick rather than Sparkle myself but I do know that Sparkle is UK available. I know DABS DABS.COM were selling sparkle not too long ago - check them out and then all of the usual UK channels.
